Why You Should Use Verified Audio Intrusion Detection
Are you using conventional security alarms for your business? You may be putting your business and your livelihood at risk. Using non-verified security alarms makes you rely on easily compromised technology – such as motion sensors and door contacts. These older, less effective systems have a remarkable 98-percent false alarm rate.
A proven solution to increase the effectiveness of your security system is to add Verified Audio detection.
Why is Audio Detection superior to the motion sensors of conventional alarm systems?
Motion sensors simply detect when there is motion. It is impossible to properly verify – it could be anything from a mouse or other animal, to a plant or fluctuation in heat. Or, it could be a thief. Unfortunately, nothing can be done but to simply guess, and many police departments no longer respond to unverified alarm systems.
Verified Audio on the other hand is monitored. Staff can hear exactly what’s going on in the facility and relay this intelligent information directly back to the police so that they can respond promptly with proper resources.
Verified Audio also covers a much larger area than conventional alarm systems with motion detection. Sonitrol Verified Audio can cover 5,000 square feet, often detecting the sounds of an intrusion or break in before criminals gain access to your valuable inventory.
Being able to detect the intrusion before it happens is a major benefit of Sonitrol Verified Audio Detection. Conventional alarms rely on the movement of someone opening a door or crawling through a window, but Sonitrol Audio Verification works based on sound. This means that while a potential criminal is still fussing with the lock, prying a door open, breaking a window,or coming through the roof or wall, an audio sensor will create threatening audio and have our monitoring staff start listening live, meaning the Police response time could start before the break-in instead of after.
In addition to notifying the Police before a entry occurs, Sonitrol Verified Audio sensors continue to help the Police after a break-in as well. Monitoring staff can hear what’s going on in the facility and relay this intelligent information directly back to the police so that they can respond promptly with proper resources.
So to recap, what are the benefits of Sonitrol Verified Audio?
• Covers a very large area- 5,000 square feet
• Can listen through and around pallets and other obstructions
• Can detect break-ins before they occur
• Can assist police before, during, & after the break-in
