For example, you can watch that the suppliers deliver the correct amount of product, or that your premises are properly locked up at the end of the day ... and you can watch and monitor suspicious employees who might not be acting in your best interests.   SonaVision helps you gain more control of your business when you’re away, and after business hours, and acts as a form of supervision while you’re away.  It reduces opportunities for employees to pocket tools and supplies without your knowledge and also acts as an effective visual deterrent for theft.    If you manage remote locations, SonaVision is an ideal option to increase levels of supervision.  Security cameras can be set up using dial-up, an Internet/Web Based service, or even through wired hydro or battery in remote locations.   ### **Add Managed Access And You Have A Fully Integrated Security Solution That You Control**   SonaVision verified video technology for construction site security can be enhanced by combining it with other Sonitrol technologies, such as managed access giving you the best way to secure your construction site or compound.   Managed access is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to increase security on your site.  Managed access will restrict unauthorized persons from entering secured areas while also helping you control employee access.  This limits risk of internal theft and external threats. This form of controlled access when combined with video surveillance gives you more oversight of your facility's activity while saving you money and time.   [![Free Construction Site Security Audit](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/325814/fe502ec4-c444-41a3-a68b-6c61e879fc9f.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/325814/fe502ec4-c444-41a3-a68b-6c61e879fc9f)     ### **About Sonitrol Western Canada:**   We're so confident in our technology and responsive service, that no one else in the industry can match our guarantee.  Our unique verified audio and CCTV video business security solutions enable our operators to hear and see what is happening in your business before the criminals gain entry!!  We verify the actual source of the alarm, and we get the police to attend the scene immediately. [ FOR A FREE SECURITY AUDIT, click here](https://www.sonitrolwesterncanada.com/free-security-audit), or call 1-866-766-4876.
