Commercial Security Systems & Solutions

The ability to control who goes in and out of your facility and also throughout your facility can be easily achieved by using access control systems.  Sonitrol badge readers, key fobs and electronic locks give you the ability to easily lock and unlock doors, disable access credentials and create user reports so you can keep track of everyone entering and exiting your building at all times.  

Sonitrol's impact-activated, audio detection burglary systems give your facility a boost of police-trusted alarm credibility by sending verified, real-time information to authorities in the case of an emergency.  Sonitrol operators can listen-in to an audio device when the alarm system sends audio signals to determine if the alarm is an intruder or assailant.
