Multifamily owners and managers work with us because we understand both security and operations.

“I met Umbrella Security at the HOA Condo Association Cooperator Expo in Chicago, looking for multifamily security systems and asked them to conduct a security system walkthrough & after a bid process hired them. Thank You Umbrella, Our security system has been a great value to our condo owners and we love the mobile access technology“
“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.“
“I manage a 650-unit condominium community in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. While researching a touchless access control system, I was introduced to Umbrella Security. Their initial presentation was clear and compelling, and after thorough due diligence, our Board approved the installation of the access control system and video monitoring equipment.
The installation exceeded expectations—execution was smooth, the equipment functions exactly as presented, and the system is easy to set up and operate. There were no surprises or delays. We anticipated potential challenges during the homeowner rollout, but experienced very few issues, most of which were minor and related to configuring access schedules for shared amenities. We have received no complaints, even from our most skeptical residents.
I confidently and without reservation recommend the access control system and Umbrella Security.”
