The video above is what our monitors would see once an alarm has been tripped. They would quickly be able to verify whether or not a crime was in progress. In this case, there was no crime and no false alarm.
What is Verified Video Anyway?
To understand how verified video keeps your business secure, you’ll first need to know what the heck verified video is. So here goes. Verified video is simply the ability for another human being to view video of your facility so that he or she can verify whether or not a crime is in progress.
In Sonitrol’s case, that other human being is one of our highly trained representatives who monitor your facility 24/7.
How Does the Representative Know When to Look at My Facility?
Each representative monitors several facilities at a time. They are alerted when they see an alarm set off by a motion detector. When they see the alarm, they turn their attention on the facility where the alarm occurred and they quickly determine whether a crime is in progress or if it’s an employee or something else that triggered the alarm, like a car. This, along with video analytics helps reduce the number of false alarms, which in turn helps with faster police response times.
Faster Police Response Times Mean More Apprehensions
One of the reasons police trusts Sonitrol is our video verification and audio verification. Sonitrol’s police response times average less than four minutes compared to ADT’s 40+ minute response times. This has led to over 170,000 apprehensions since 1977!
In summation, verified video ensures fewer false alarms, which means faster police response times (because they know they’re not chasing a false alarm), which inturn means more apprehensions. So not only is your business more secure, you’re helping to put more criminals behind bars when you have Sonitrol.
