Along with the alarm, the Sonitrol operator could hear movement sounds from within the E Commerce area of the facility. The Sonitrol operator immediately dispatched the New Castle City Police Department to the scene.

    Sonitrol Security Team Member Featured in Greater Northeast Philadelphia Chamber News

    Teresa Pratt is regional sales manager for Sonitrol Security of Delaware Valley. She is fast becoming a familiar face at GNPCC events, and has plunged feet-first into our activities. In addition to her sales ability, she is also a professional wildlife photographer. (Perhaps we can convince her to do a showing for GNPCC members and friends?) She recently agreed to answer five questions from Don Brennan about Sonitrol). Why did Sonitrol decide to become a member of the GNPCC? I became a member of GNPCC, because even though my sales region consists of Philadelphia County, I decided to concentrate my efforts in the Northeast Philadelphia marketplace. I knew that the Northeast is a unique area with a strong sense of loyalty towards supporting businesses in their own community. GNPCC has given me the opportunity to meet local business owners, network with fellow salespeople in my territory and has opened doors to...

    Track and Restrict Threats With Security Access Control Systems

    The fear of theft is one that plagues business owners across any industry. While the most prevalent threat comes from burglars who would attempt to break into a building, one of the less obvious dangers can come from within the company as well. If a business is not prepared to combat these issues, they could end up looking at serious losses over time. The National Retail Security Survey reported that retailers in the United States suffered $44 million in inventory shrinkage in just one year. This statistic is a result of a number of different risks that plague businesses. About 38% of all of this inventory shrink can be attested to shoplifting, while a comparable estimated 34.5% is from employee theft. There are multiple versions of business security systems that offer different services, each with their own advantages. While systems that use surveillance video can reduce burglaries by approximately 67%, there are...

    What Makes an Alarm System for Businesses so Important?

    For many business owners, one of their biggest fears is the threat of break-ins and burglary. As a precautionary measure, the implementation of an alarm system for businesses can offer substantially more security. However, some systems may not operate as well as they could. The vast majority of commercial security systems have a built in delay after being initially triggered, before contacting the monitoring company. This delay can span anywhere from 30 seconds to three minutes, which can give robbers enough time to either escape or even to steal merchandise before authorities would be able to reach them. Part of the reasoning for these delays is due to the frequency of false alarms that security systems experience. An astounding 94 to 98% of alarm prompts end up being false triggers. Instances of false alarms can not only cause hassle to the owner and the monitoring company, but local authorities are required to...

    What’s The Difference Between a Sonitrol Security Verified Alarm and All the Others?

    The easiest way for me to highlight the difference between a Sonitrol Security Verified Alarm system and one of the hundreds of conventional burglar alarm systems out there is to walk you through a typical scenario around what happens when an alarm goes off in your business. Let's say you have a conventional alarm installed for your business. It's nothing special but you think you have a system that can adequately protect your business. This is what most likely happens. It's 2:00 am on Friday night and couple of burglars break into your business. It wasn't difficult for them to get in using just a crowbar at the door, or a rock through the window. It's worth noting here that our professional thieves (who represent just 4% of the criminal community - commit 80% of crimes) have successfully done this before and they know they will easily got away with it. Vandals and idiots also do this...

    How Commercial Security Systems Can Keep You and Your Employees Safe

    You can't own a business without the fear of theft. Some may worry about teenagers stealing candy while others may fear boxes of electronics being driven away by trucks. Either way, most companies will install some sort of commercial security system as a precaution. Most alarms are simple signals sent out after a locked door is opened or a window is broken through. The problem with these systems is that most do not alert the monitoring service or law enforcement for a few minutes after the alarm is triggered, to allow for the owner to shut it off if it's accidentally set off. However, these false alarms happen far too often. Over an entire year, police end up investigating up to 38 million triggered commercial security system alarms per year. The vast majority of these instances -- 94-98% -- end up being false alarms. To make matters worse, not only must officers go...

    How a Security Alarm Company Can Stop Break-ins Before They Begin

    If you own a company or business, it's inevitable that at some point you could face a robbery. Whether it be as small as shoplifting a pack of gum, or as significant as a full on breaking and entering case, there is always some form of theft to worry about. Many businesses have turned to a security alarm company for protection. Many will have alarms set to be triggered upon entry but some are not as reliable as others. Some models of business security systems have a built-in delay before contacting the monitoring company that can span anywhere from 30 seconds up to three minutes. In most cases this is to allow for an owner or employee to shut off a false triggered alarm so that law enforcement isn't accidentally called. However, in actual instances of burglary, this delay can easily allow for robbers to escape, or even to steal some small...
