How does verified security help prevent high-impact crimes like ATM thefts?

Verified security stops crimes earlier by detecting the intruder before major damage occurs and giving police accurate, real-time information they can act on immediately.

In incidents like the recent ATM theft in Peachland, B.C., thieves had enough time to use heavy machinery to rip an ATM from a bank wall, something that traditional alarms cannot prevent because they only trigger after a door is opened or a motion sensor is tripped.

Sonitrol’s Verified Security works differently.

Its Active Audio technology monitors protected areas for unusual sounds such as banging, prying, glass breaking, or voices. When suspicious activity begins, trained Sonitrol operators listen in as the event is happening and can verify whether it’s a real break-in or a false alarm.

This live verification is sent to police instantly.

Because police know the threat is confirmed, not just a motion sensor or door contact, they respond with priority, often arriving while the suspects are still on-site.

This rapid intervention interrupts the crime, limits property damage, protects staff and assets, and dramatically increases the chances of an arrest.
