Umbrella Security delivers commercial security integration to organizations that need dependable protection and practical support across Chicago and Northern Illinois. Our portfolio includes commercial security cameras, access control systems, intrusion detection and alarm technology, intercoms, visitor entry solutions, and integrated security platforms. We design and install these systems for educational campuses, industrial sites, warehouses, government properties, multifamily buildings, and businesses with multiple facilities. In addition to installation, we provide servicing, upgrades, expansions, and technical assistance. Our purpose is to improve visibility, strengthen access management, support incident review, and align security technology with the daily responsibilities of each organization.
We begin by examining the facilitys operations and identifying where security decisions must be supported. Our team considers building entrances, parking areas, loading zones, corridors, sensitive rooms, visitor procedures, and after-hours activity. Based on these conditions, we determine how cameras, alarms, door permissions, intercoms, and response workflows should be coordinated. We also plan for administration, future expansion, cybersecurity, and continued service so that the system remains manageable over time. Through commercial-focused engineering and local assistance, we help clients establish security arrangements that suit their property, personnel, and operational priorities rather than relying on generic equipment combinations.

Services
We work with commercial businesses to improve security camera coverage through professional installation, upgrades, and system expansion. Our team reviews how people, vehicles, and deliveries move through your facility before determining camera locations. We also examine cabling, power, network requirements, and integration with access control or alarms. The completed installation is configured and tested so authorized users can retrieve and export footage according to the agreed project scope 
We install and maintain commercial alarm systems for organizations that require dependable intrusion detection and professional monitoring. Our services cover new installations, existing system upgrades, communicator evaluations, and monitoring takeovers. Each project considers building configuration, operational schedules, employee access, and potential security risks, allowing us to deliver practical alarm infrastructure that supports current operations and accommodates future system changes 
We provide access control system solutions designed around the way commercial facilities operate. Our approach considers building entrances, staff access, visitor movement, existing equipment, and the needs of security and administrative teams. Organizations can evaluate cloud-based or on-premise platforms, modern readers, mobile credentials, and centralized permission management. We also assess opportunities to connect access events with video, identity systems, and alerts. By establishing operational requirements before equipment selection, we help create an access control environment that remains manageable as facilities and users change.

Umbrella Security has been a solid partner and help guide us through the multi-faceted project we undertook. We were looking to install a new camera system, burglar alarm system and key card access systems. Umbrella provided multiple options and ideas to help us accomplish our goals and stay within budget. Umbrella has been responsive to our requests when we decided to tweak the system, installing additional equipment. I would recommend Umbrella Security for any system someone is considering.

I recently hired Umbrella Security Systems to install a burglary alarm system for our 14,000 sq. ft. facility, and the experience was flawless from start to finish. If you are looking for warehouse security especially in new buildouts I highly recommend them
Where they stand out: Insane Turnaround Time: They completed this large-scale install twice as fast as any of their competitors from my 9 years in the industry. Their efficiency is unmatched.
Elite Customer Service: I was shocked when they answered the phone after hours. The owner personally called me back within minutes to discuss the project that level of dedication is rare these days.
Massive Cost Savings: Their pricing for a comparable product was less than half of what other companies quoted me.
Professional & Clean Execution: The technician was knowledgeable, friendly, and kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. The installation itself was clean, professional, and completely hassle-free despite the size of the building.
Flexible & Fair: Their service and contract terms are flexible, which was a huge breath of fresh air compared to the rigid "lock-in" contracts I saw elsewhere.
Comprehensive Walkthrough: After the install, they didn't just leave; they provided a thorough walkthrough of the application and functionality, ensuring I knew exactly how to manage the burglary system for the entire facility.
Umbrella Security Systems provides a "white-glove" experience at a fraction of the cost. Ill be using them for all my future security needs.

We have been beyond thrilled with Umbrella Security Systems. I'd rate them higher than 5 stars if I could. We're a 40,000 sq. ft. weightlifting gym in the East Lakeview area of Chicago, spanning 3 floors. When they came out to see the place, they really listened to what we were looking for, and recommended a combo of fish-eye cameras and fixed ones in key areas throughout our gym. We ended up getting a total of 9 cameras! It's honestly been a game-changer for us. I can't imagine not having the ability we have now, to see throughout our gym, from wherever we are, through their app. What I love too is how accessible the team is. We had an incident a while back - that thankfully turned out to be a false alarm - but I called Umbrella and they came out right away to help. They showed us how to roll the footage back and save it into a clip, which we've since been able to do when we've needed to examine more closely what took place on a specific day & time. We're actually adding 3 more cameras soon, which is what they recommended initially but I wanted to go slow (and they were not pushy w/me which I greatly appreciate). This was an enormous step & quite an investment but I am so glad we did it. They are well worth the $.

I work for a nonprofit organization and we have an older Keyscan access control system that almost no one was willing to service. Finding Umbrella Security Systems has truly been a lifesaver for us.
Their technician Zach has been out to our site several times and he is outstanding. Hes extremely knowledgeable, honest, and fast most issues are diagnosed and fixed in under 30 minutes. He could easily have charged us more for some of the problems weve had, but instead hes always upfront and fair.
Even when Ive reached out at the last minute with a potential emergency, their scheduling team has always found a way to fit us in. The level of honesty, responsiveness, and professionalism from Zach and the whole Umbrella team has been excellent.
Highly recommend them.

I hired Umbrella Security to upgrade and replace the door access system and to upgrade our camera surveillance system for my Joliet law firm. They were great! Our new security system is both high-tech (fob badges, RFID mobile phone access, keypad access) and user-friendly. The company's president, Thomas, understands the needs of small business owners and what is important to them. His employee Zach, who did the work on site, was thorough, knowledgeable, and professional. I recommend Umbrella to other businesses in the area who need to install, upgrade, or replace their security systems!

We contacted Umbrella Security Systems to help us with a unique ask to search premises for any possible hidden camera installations. They understood our urgency and came out quickly. They were thorough, professional, and easy to work with throughout. The report provided included photos and videos to show the detailed approach to our problem. Highly recommend this company! A special thank you to Tom and his team.

I highly recommend Umbrella Technologies for your access and security needs. Of all the companies I reached out to only Umbrella was able to fully explain the pros and cons of each system, show up on time, and get me exactly what I need. They truly went above and beyond my expectations.
The system they installed is flawless and seems to be light years ahead of what else is out there. We can access our doors without key fobs or cards, and the system was less expensive than I thought. See less

I feel like we have a true integrated solution to provides owners piece of mind at a price point we could afford.

Team Umbrella, Id like to thank you and let you know we were beyond impressed with the work that you provided for us. We had two Cannabis attorneys say that this security plan and floor plan that you did for us was the most impressive that they have ever seen.
I thank you very much for helping us accomplish our dreams in the cannabis industry have a chance, we couldnt have gotten a competitive application in without you.

I met Umbrella Technologies at several events in which they spoke about security plans for Cannabis Dispensary Applications. Their insight provided me so much value we hired them for a social equity application. Their 50-page security plan deliverable was outstanding and not only cited every regulation by the state but its composition was that of a culture of security and transparency for new Cannabis Businesses. We look forward to using their expertise in future applications. I would highly recommend Umbrella to anyone who needs security.
