Upgrading to Network-Based Wireless Solutions

Give your business the gift of a new network-based security system this holiday season! Use scheduled winter breaks and holiday shutdowns to upgrade your Sonitrol system, and move away from phone lines to wireless solutions featuring the latest technology.

Wireless Systems Offer Discreet Security

Have you recently completed an office renovation or moved into a new space? It is still a great time to upgrade your system! With brand new wireless sensors and cameras, our trained technicians can equip your business with state-of-the-art devices that won’t disrupt new buildings, decor, or furniture.

  • Incorporate wireless door and window sensors with Sonitrol’s new TotalGuard™ all-in-one system and Smart Hub.
  • Indoor and outdoor cameras are a powerful prevention tool and deterrent. New cameras are getting smaller and less intrusive with higher resolutions and clearer pictures.
  • Install network-based cameras so you can discreetly keep an eye on your business from anywhere from online and with mobile apps. 

Cut the Cord

Making the investment now to upgrade to a network based security system can save you quite a bit in the long run by moving away from costly phone lines, both traditional and digital lines.
  • Pocket your phone line savings or use them to add new cameras or new services, like keyless entry access control to your system.
  • Eliminate service issues caused by communication problems from incompatible VOIP digital systems.

New Technology Wherever You Go

When you are making the investment in the latest Sonitrol system, install new technology in your building with new features, including managing your system on-the-go.
  • No more late night trips to the office to set your security system. The Sonitrol Mobile App, which works with network-based systems, allows you to arm/disarm your system right from your phone.
  • Monitor your cameras on-the go, including video surveillance from Sonitrol’s new multi-sensor and TotalGuard™ systems.

Halloween Safety Tips

Tonight is Halloween! For a safe and secure evening, follow these helpful tips:
 
#1: Turn off or unplug noisy decorations at night, as they could accidentally set off your Sonitrol audio-activated alarm.
#2: Take extra time to ensure all doors and windows are secured and locked. Halloween is a big holiday for both pranksters and thieves.
#3: Check exterior light bulbs and leave outside lights illuminated around your facility. Criminals like to hide in dark, shadowy areas before causing damage.
#4: Contact our Sonitrol team to run a test of your system to ensure all sensors are in working order.
#5: Download the Sonitrol Mobile App to view your network-connected cameras so you can monitor your facility when you are off-site or after hours.

Continuation of Security During PG&E Power Safety Outages

This month PG&E has disconnected power on several occasions as part of a Public Safety Power Shut Off prevention event in the wake of the California Wildfires. While much of the power has been restored, there are still more than 200,000 without power in Northern California as the wildfires continue throughout the state.

We sent out a notice earlier this month about how these outages may impact your Sonitrol system and wanted to share the content again with you below.

If you experience a power outage your system will run off the battery backup, which will last anywhere from a couple of hours to several hours. The amount of time your battery lasts will depend on the size of the system being powered. You will be notified in the event a low battery is received, or if the battery depletes and the system goes completely down.

With regards to the access doors; that depends on the type of locks they have. Strike locks will remain locked and mag locks, depending on how they were installed, may unlock during a power outage (you would need to check with the vendor that installed the lock hardware). Unfortunately we are unable to determine the type of lock hardware you have on our end. We do advise using a hard key to lock the doors when you leave for the evening if the power is out.
If you have any questions, please contact our Central Station directly at (408) 998-2002 or visit the links below from PG&E.
