Access Control

Report

Keyless entry, is one of the most cost-effective ways to increase security. In addition to protecting against burglars, businesses need to protect their physical location, intellectual property and employees. Access control systems by Sonitrol SC allow commercial customers to reduce workplace violence, track and restrict people in the building, and drastically reduce the risk of theft and external threats.

Video Security Monitoring

Report

The perfect complement to our audio detection technology is added video security. Video technology is a powerful deterrent to both external and internal theft. It can also provide evidence and help protect you from false slip-and-fall claims and similar threats.

Called to have some gate sensors replaced because they were frayed. Sent a tech who replaced them. No one ever tested the system. Thieves cut the locks on the gate and the alarm (with new sensors) never went off. Property was stolen. Sonitrol management said "we're not your insurance company". They aren't but they are the alarm company and if the alarm doesn't work they aren't doing their job.

We left ADT after a 30 year relationship because of poor customer service over the last few years. A neighbor turned us on to Sonitrol and we now have a new Sonitrol system in place. The owners, John Rama and his brother, are professional, trustworthy, and provide excellent service. Paul detailed our new system and MJ installed it; both excellent! 100% pleased and proud of this local gem business! I highly recommend it. pk

We just had Sonitrol install a camera system for us and they did an excellent job. The techs that came out MJ and Dave were great. They were very professional, personable, and knowledgable about what they were doing. We had a dedicated internet line installed for the system, which was not correctly setup by the cable company and they patiently worked through the problems until everything was working smoothly.

The install went great. The cameras look professional and work really well. Overall, we are very happy with the system and will certainly call Sonitrol back when we want to do more work.

Pam is my go to person. She is always friendly and informative. As a new Priest I needed to get security under control and Pam led the charge in helping me. Pam has a great attitude and it is the same every time I call. She is the epidemy of what a company need as a service technician and great customer service. I hope and pray that Sonitrol understand what value they have in Pam.

Patrick Gerken with Sonitrol has provided nothing but great service on our business account for over 3 years. I can't say enough about his responsiveness to our needs with our awesome camera and security system. I also know John and Alan who are the owners and it is nice to do business with local owners. Thank you Sonitrol! I would also like to thank Beckie and Ellis on helping me with a technical issue on my playback videos. Very good service y'all!

Not only does he deliver as he says, goes above and beyond to make sure we're taken care of. As long as he's with Sonitrol, they'll protect every business we open

I called Sonitrol today to do a test of our alarm system. I was connected to the service department and spoke with Pam. She spent over 30 minutes with me, making sure everything was working as it should. She was very nice, and definitely provided excellent customer service. Thank you Pam!
