Sonitrol’s Exclusive Audio Intrusion Detection Catches Criminals

Developed more than half a century ago, a monitoring and protection security system created by Sonitrol® has led to faster law enforcement reaction times and more arrests than even some of the most sophisticated alarm systems available in today’s markets.

The key to the success of this monitoring and protection system for your business or home is the impact-activated audio intrusion detection system.

The average business or home security systems rely on contact or motion sensors which set off an alarm when an entry point is breached by a would-be intruder. While somewhat effective, these systems often produce false-positives, or allow entry from points not covered by the contact sensors.

• For example, contact sensors may be used on a window sash, but if an intruder were to break the glass and enter, as long as the contact components are not separated, they will not trigger the alarm.
• Conversely, a false alarm can be triggered by an animal that happens into the area  protected by a motion sensor. Regardless of where the fault lies, there are costly consequences to all involved.

Sonitrol of Western Kentucky can properly monitor and protect 100-percent of your business or home with impact-activated audio intrusion detection. To accomplish this, Sonitrol’s security systems rely on their patented audio detection technology to detect a breach in any part of a building or home.

• Monitoring: As soon as a breach occurs, the system notifies the specially-trained operator and provides them with a location code. The operator then listens live to an audio feed and is able to confirm if a break-in is in progress or if something else occurred.
• Verification: With verified break-ins, Sonitrol has gained the respect and trust of law enforcement agencies across Kentucky, Indiana and southern Illinois, which has resulted in response times in as few as seven minutes as compared to up to 45 minutes for non-verified alarms. Due to the exceptionally fast response times, more criminals are being apprehended.
