Umbrella Security serves commercial customers in Chicago and Northern Illinois with professionally designed security systems and continued local support. We specialize in security cameras, access control, intrusion alarms, intercoms, and integrated solutions for businesses, schools, industrial facilities, government sites, warehouses, and multi-property organizations. Our responsibilities cover assessment, engineering, installation, system integration, service, and upgrades. We build security arrangements to improve operational visibility, control entry to appropriate areas, reduce risk, and provide information for incident review. Our exclusive commercial focus allows us to account for the specific demands of active facilities, including shift changes, vendor access, deliveries, visitor management, and property-wide coordination.

A successful project begins with understanding what the organization needs to see, control, and manage. We review site layouts, access points, high-risk areas, and the movement of people and materials before shaping the system. Cameras, access permissions, alarms, and intercom functions are planned to work together, with attention to monitoring, alerts, and response procedures. After installation, we remain available for service, administration, training, upgrades, and future expansion. Our objective is to provide a practical commercial security partner whose engineering and support reflect the facilitys real operating conditions and long-term requirements.

Services
Commercial Camera Installation We install and support commercial security camera systems with an emphasis on practical coverage and usable video evidence. Our work begins by understanding facility operations, identifying critical entrances and activity areas, and evaluating current equipment. We coordinate camera placement with cabling, network capacity, and other security systems. Once installation is complete, we test recording and footage retrieval while considering maintenance and future system improvements
Commercial Alarm Installation We design and install commercial intrusion alarm systems tailored to the operational requirements of businesses, industrial facilities, schools, healthcare organizations, and government buildings. Our services include system upgrades, monitoring, and ongoing support for single-site and multi-site operations. We use enterprise-grade equipment and open-architecture principles to provide reliable protection, flexible integration, and long-term serviceability.
Access Control Installation Our access control solutions give organizations a practical way to manage building entry, restricted areas, and user permissions. We begin by reviewing the doors, credentials, existing hardware, and administrative needs before recommending a system. Whether replacing traditional keys or upgrading an older platform, we help establish the requirements for a suitable solution. Centralized administration, mobile access credentials, and security integrations can support more consistent operations. We also consider future expansion, emergency procedures, and the ongoing management responsibilities of each facility.

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 was great to work with and made the entire process as painless as possible. They were always on time, professional, and willing to work with the owners scheduling needs. The team completed the job in a timely manner and communicated well throughout the process.

I would highly recommend them.

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.

I had an electronic access control system installed at my office in April 2025. Zach showed up right on time, verified all the hardware, then quickly and cleanly modified the door frame, installed the lock, in/out readers, and a doorposition sensor. He wired everything back to the controller, ran a full system test, and walked me through how it all works. The installation was flawless, the system is performing perfectly, and Zach was professional, efficient, and detailoriented the entire time. Highly recommend!

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 had a great experience with Umbrella Tech for our security setup. Tom & Zach are fantastic to work with. Zach & Tom are professional, knowledgeable, and responsive.

The installation process was smooth and efficient, with minimal disruption to our daily operations. My team and association truly love the system they have provided making everyone feel safe and know buildings are secured.

I highly recommend Umbrella Tech to anyone looking for reliable security solutions. Thank you Tom & Zach!

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.

These guys know what they are doing. Fixed what a bigger company (The Flying Locksmiths) couldn't.

Tom and his team did a terrific job on a very difficult project for us. Our 100-year+ old building does not make IT projects easy, but the Umbrella team was able to succeed where others failed. When another IT partner was falling well below our expectations on getting cables ran for the new camera system Umbrella Tech was set to install, Tom offered his counsel and eventually stepped up to offer his team take over the nightmare-ish cabling work. Zach & Hugo were on top of the project from start to finish. They were on time, responsive, professional, knowledgeable, organized, and efficient. Where the other IT team needed things constantly repeated and wasted our time, Umbrella was fire-and-forget.

Overall, I could not recommend them more. I am very happy with the work they completed and I will be looking forward to more opportunities to work with them.

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 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.

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.
