Churches & Religious Institutions
Protect Your Sanctuary, Safeguard Your Community
Religious institutions are designed to be welcoming, but openness makes them vulnerable. Churches face risks ranging from burglary and vandalism to more serious threats like intrusion or violence during services. Traditional alarm systems provide limited coverage and often fail to distinguish between false alarms and real emergencies.
SONITROL offers a complete, integrated program to secure your members, staff, clergy and valuable assets such as computer equipment, cameras and cash. In addition to intrusion alarms, we offer technology to restrict unauthorized access, camera monitoring of vulnerable areas such as childcare rooms, fire detection, and professional monitoring 24/7. Using our proprietary technology, verified audio & video detection, our trained professionals can actually hear an intrusion attempt as it occurs. This unique technology actually reduces false alarms and increases the apprehension of thieves and vandals.
