Sonitrol Pacific Verifies Alarms
When your alarm goes off, you want to know it's real. So do the police. Inundated by false alarms from traditional burglar alarm companies, many municipalities established criteria for confirming a break-in is real before they send officers. Some cities have enacted "enhanced call verification" policies and others levy significant fines for false alarms.
The Difference is alarm Verification
Many cities have adopted Verified Response policies. Each city’s policy varies slightly, but nearly all of them require two components:
Before the police will dispatch, alarm owners and/or private security companies must:
(1) Verify the alarm is not false and
(2) Verify an break-in is actually taking place.
Cities with this policy require alarm verification either through an eyewitness, a private security guard or electronic surveillance (audio and/or video).
The Experts in Verification
The focus of Sonitrol Pacific's Operations Center is early detection and verification of alarms from the clients we monitor in the Pacific Northwest. If your alarm goes off, our experts verify the signal through audio and/or video technology. Hear how audio allows us to tell the difference between a break-in and a false activation. Unlike motion sensors that can be triggered by a spider or a piece of paper falling off the wall, audio sensors let our operators actually hear what's happening and take action.
We want to eliminate false alarms and stand behind that promise with a false alarm fine guarantee in our "Commitment to Service". If you get a false alarm fine caused by Sonitrol Pacific, we'll take care of it.
