Umbrella Security Systems
At Umbrella Security, we specialize exclusively in commercial security integration for businesses and facilities throughout Chicago and Northern Illinois. Our work extends across schools, warehouses, manufacturing plants, government properties, multifamily buildings, and organizations operating at multiple locations. We design, install, service, and support commercial security cameras, access control systems, intrusion alarms, intercoms, and integrated security solutions. Our objective is to deliver systems that provide meaningful visibility, manage facility access, reduce risk, and contribute to daily operational requirements. We approach each project with a focus on dependable technology, practical recommendations, and ongoing local assistance. Our commercial-only approach allows us to address the distinct demands of professional environments, including employee movement, deliveries, visitors, restricted areas, and incident response.

Our process begins with understanding the facility rather than selecting equipment prematurely. We assess entrances, parking areas, loading docks, corridors, and other locations where visibility or access management may require improvement. From there, we develop security strategies that coordinate video surveillance, door permissions, alarms, visitor entry, and response procedures. Umbrella Security also provides system upgrades, expansions, technical assistance, and long-term maintenance for existing installations. Whether supporting a single building or a broader property portfolio, we prioritize thoughtful engineering, clear communication, and solutions that reflect how each organization operates.

Services
Commercial Camera Installation Our commercial camera installation service is designed to address the specific security needs of each facility. We evaluate existing infrastructure, identify coverage gaps, and determine where clearer footage is necessary for investigations. From initial planning through system commissioning, we coordinate cameras, cabling, and related security components. Our approach also considers maintenance, future expansion, and reliable support after installation is complete.
Commercial Alarm Installation We help commercial organizations establish, modernize, and maintain intrusion alarm systems through a structured security process. Our services include facility assessments, risk and zone planning, professional equipment installation, system testing, and monitoring activation. We also support existing installations through upgrades and monitoring transitions, with attention to communication reliability, documentation, operational requirements, and the long-term flexibility of the security infrastructure
Access Control Installation Our commercial access control solutions help security and operations teams oversee who enters a building, which areas they can access, and when their permissions apply. We assess the facility, its doors, existing equipment, and credential processes before identifying suitable technologies. Modern readers, mobile credentials, and centralized software can simplify administration across one or several locations. We also review connections to video, identity management, alerting, and emergency workflows. Each recommendation considers operational usability, compliance priorities, and the ability to accommodate additional doors or buildings

We sought out a few security companies to assist us and we agreed upon Umbrella. The start to finish for installation with Art and Jeff was pretty seamless from beginning to end. I had a technical error in which Zach promptly came out and remedied the situation in no time. Our staff feels very safe and thank you for taking care of us. Highly recommend them!

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.

Umbrella Security Team did a great job for my company. They secured a 14,000 sq ft Building with no Power, with Solar Power burglar sensors, and fire alarm sensors. This covered me for insurance needs, in a rough time. Tom and his Team came through, and his excellent service and products I highly recommend in the commercial field!

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 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.

Umbrella Technologies installed their OpenPath system for us recently. We are very pleased with the software's functionality and we were also impressed by the technicians who installed the software. They were prompt and finished the work in a timely manner. Since the installation, Thomas Carnevale, the COO and founder, and his employees have always made the time to assist us as required. In addition, the cost is reasonable compared to other companies we had considered. Thank you! Vistio.

We asked Umbrella Technologies to come up with a cost effective solution to our Condo's Intercom, Access Control and Surveillance needs.

I was overly impressed with Umbrella's Security Plan for my social equity cannabis dispensary application. From the architectural proposed floor plan to the in-depth security plan their work exceeded my expectations in every way. Umbrella truly went above and beyond with providing my business compliant exhibits.
