Umbrella Security Systems Commercial organizations throughout Chicago and Northern Illinois rely on Umbrella Security for security integration designed around their facilities. We provide commercial video surveillance, access control, intrusion alarm systems, intercom and entry solutions, and integrated security infrastructure. Our team manages the process from initial assessment and system design through installation, servicing, and continued support. We work with schools, industrial properties, warehouses, public agencies, commercial buildings, and organizations managing multiple sites. Our commercial-only specialization helps us address facility operations, compliance considerations, visitor movement, deliveries, employee access, and the need for reliable incident information.

We develop each security plan by identifying the decisions the organization needs its system to support. Our assessments consider what footage must capture, which people should enter specific areas, where coverage gaps exist, and how alerts or incidents should be handled. Cameras, alarms, intercoms, and access control are coordinated to create a more manageable security environment. We also support existing systems through troubleshooting, upgrades, expansions, and ongoing technical assistance. With local service throughout the region and experience across varied commercial settings, we provide practical guidance and security solutions intended to remain useful well after the initial installation.

Services
Commercial Camera Installation Our team supports commercial facilities with new security camera installations, replacement projects, and surveillance system expansions. We first evaluate the property, identify important viewing zones, and establish the level of recorded detail required. Installation planning includes camera placement, cabling, network capacity, and coordination with existing security infrastructure. After deployment, we configure and test the system, confirm footage retrieval and export, and consider long-term maintenance and support
Commercial Alarm Installation We develop commercial alarm systems to protect business facilities, employees, inventory, and equipment through dependable intrusion detection. Our installation and upgrade services include alarm panels, detection devices, perimeter protection, communication systems, and professional monitoring arrangements. By evaluating operational risks and existing infrastructure, we create adaptable security solutions that support coordinated reporting, integration with other security systems, and continued service as facility requirements evolve
Access Control Installation We design access control solutions around the specific responsibilities of each facility and the people who manage its security. Our work begins with understanding entry points, user permissions, visitor workflows, existing hardware, and the requirements for centralized oversight. We help evaluate platforms that support mobile credentials, modern readers, secure authentication, and administration across multiple buildings. Integration with video and emergency alerts can strengthen incident response. By accounting for compatibility, scalability, and everyday usability, we help organizations make informed decisions about access control modernization

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!

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 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!

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.

We had OpenPath installed about a year ago. Umbrella Technologies has provided nothing but great customer service. Operates with integrity, phenomenal product & support. Great integrations & user ability. Wonderful, wonderful platform & very intuitive. We cannot imagine not having this software or the relationship with Umbrella Technologies.

I am the manager of a 650-unit condominium property located in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. In the process of researching touchless access control systems, I contacted OpenPath for more information and was referred to Umbrella Technologies and its Founder/COO Thomas Carnevale. I found Umbrella Technologies initial presentation to be both compelling and enlightening, and after further research, the Board of Directors signed a contract for the installation of the access control system and video monitoring equipment. I could not be more pleased with the outcome of the installation, both in terms of the execution of the install, the functionality of the equipment and the ease of setup/operation. There were no surprises and no delays, all elements work exactly as presented and promised during our due diligence. I anticipated some level of problems to arise during the rollout to homeowners and was pleasantly surprised to experience very few concerns. Those we did experience were primarily related to setting up access schedules for a clubhouse, two swimming pool facilities and pickleball/tennis court facilities. We have not received any complaints, even from our most skeptical owners. I am posting an unreserved recommendation regarding the OpenPath touchless access control system and Umbrella Technologies.

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.

Umbrella Technologies is very professional. They installed the camera system at our Pool house in a timely manner. The technician did a great job explaining everything. I would recommend this company for all of your technology needs.

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

We asked Umbrella Technologies to come up with a cost effective solution to our Condo's Intercom, Access Control and Surveillance needs. We appreciated their timely proposal and solution - and their installation and support have been superb. I feel like we have a true integrated solution to provides owners piece of mind at a price point we could afford.
