Benefits of Verified Audio Detection

On August 6th, Lexington firefighters responded to a building collapse at a major intersection.

The ceiling collapsed at U-Haul Moving and Storage of Leestown Road on August 6, 2019 around mid-day. Fortunately, no one was injured and the fire department was able to respond quickly. With the help of Sonitrol’s verified audio detection installed at U-Haul, the system was able to alert the fire department and dispatch help immediately.

Lexington’s U-Haul facility had a collision which set off the detector, notified the operator and the respondents were dispatched. More than a dozen Lexington Fire Department units responded to this building collapse. Sonitrol's verified audio detection system is one of the most powerful tools to add to a security system. In this particular situation, an operator was able to listen in to verify that there was activity, not a false alarm, and dispatch the respondents immediately for help. 

If there is a false alarm, we simply reset the system without bothering you or the police. Because of this ability to verify alarms, Sonitrol has the lowest false alarm rate in the industry.
