ALARM SYSTEMS CHICAGO
SECURITY ALARM SYSTEMS
Alarm systems have come an incredibly long way. Rewind just 15 years ago, most systems were very analog with physical buttons and a faint LCD screen. User friendliness was non-existent and most end users were forced to call a security company to make simple changes. Now fast forward to 2020 and we've got full touchscreens installed on your wall seamlessly and wirelessly connected to all your devices. Security panels aren't a thing of the past, but the user friendliness has made lightyears worth of improvements. Many systems run on either a proprietary based system or Android, which makes it not only very simple to navigate and use, but also very simple to program, which speeds up installation times.

We are happy to be able to offer alarm system installation for the entire Chicagoland area and beyond. You aren't forced to choose only one system, we have many partners we work with to provide exactly the system you require for your application. Home security systems are a big demographic, but we also specialize in tradition installations in commercial buildings. Many commercial security systems still require the metal "can" enclosure for a more secure install. Many of these systems can be taken over by our current hardware if you currently have one of these older systems installed in your home or business.
Brands that are popular are 2GIG, Qolsys, and Honeywell. While there are a variety of others out there, we tend to lean towards the alarm systems that are guaranteed, serviceable, and well-known for reliability. Since we are agnostic when it comes to specific alarm manufacturers and services, we are able to offer you a full menu of options but we only lead with the best solution that meets your security requirements. For instance, an ADT Command & Control system, or Resideo by Honeywell, might serve your small business or home just well. But if you have a 100,000SQFT warehouse, maybe not so much. Its definitely not one size fits all when it comes to intrusion systems, or intrusion detection. We take the time to survey the site and suggest an awesome high-performance that will secure your property and provide piece of mind the entire duration of your ownership of the system.

Alarm System Installation
Many properties both residential and commercial, may have security equipment already installed. Is it old and not functioning? We recommend a full system replacement and not to utilize existing antiquated technology. When it comes to security, we don't want you cutting corners to save a penny when it could cost you many dollars in the future. Its true that many old components may in fact still do the job, but for how long? And if a component fails at the wrong time, you don't want to put yourself at risk for a small faulty device. In this day in age, most systems are packaged and include a turn-key system with every necessary component included. Items such as:
- Door contacts / door sensors
- Motion detectors / motion sensors
- Glass break detectors
- Shock sensors
- Window sensors
Existing System Integration
For commercial security system applications, we are able to provide existing system integration. If you've got a newer system and just want us to take over the monitoring, we can do that. Most often, we do replace the main panel, but can retain the existing hardwired infrastructure like the door contacts and motion detectors as those are often salvageable and last a long time. We make the assessment and test every component before we leave the site to ensure your system is up and running 100% before leaving.
For wireless alarm systems, we can often take over the existing wireless components as well. When we come out, we replace all the batteries and test everything once again to ensure you are protected. Not all systems can be taken over, but we can assess your system individually to decide what the best course of action is.
If you have security cameras linked to your alarm panel, as is popular in small businesses and security in homes, we will need to take a look at the existing cameras to see if we can utilize them on the new system. Most often these are proprietary and not able to mix and match with other brands. If its the same manufacturer, we should be okay to integrate them and add them on to the new installation. Often these are cloud-based security camera systems so it will need to be ran through the same provider, for instance ADT.
Contact us today for a no obligation risk assessment. We look forward to protecting your property.
