Chicago IL Commercial Security Systems — Built for How Your Facility Actually Operates
High-rise offices, multi-tenant buildings, industrial corridors, and 24/7 operations require more than a camera count. Umbrella Security designs integrated security systems around how your facility actually operates.
- Cameras, access control, alarms, intercoms, and integration
- Chicago office: 4001 W Devon Ave, Suite 25
- The Loop, River North, West Loop, Fulton Market, Goose Island, and O'Hare corridor
Tell Us About Your Chicago Facility
Every Chicago IL commercial security systems assessment starts with what your building actually requires — not a hardware spec. Describe your facility and we'll define what the system needs to do before recommending anything.
After you submit, a member of our team will contact you to schedule a site assessment or phone consultation. We typically respond within one business day.
- No obligation — the assessment is a conversation, not a sales pitch
- We work with facilities of all sizes, single-location to multi-site
- Have an existing system? We evaluate and integrate, not just replace

Integration ServicesRecent Chicago Security System Installations
We regularly work throughout Chicago's key commercial corridors — the Loop, West Loop, Fulton Market, River North, South Loop, Pilsen, and the Near North Side. From high-rise office towers and historic loft conversions to transit-adjacent warehouses and multi-tenant mixed-use buildings, we design systems around Chicago's unique building stock and operational environments.
Case Study: Video Surveillance Upgrade at The Berghoff
The Berghoff has operated at 17 E. Adams Street in downtown Chicago since 1898. When their legacy camera system stopped meeting the demands of a high-volume hospitality operation, they needed an integrator who could upgrade the surveillance infrastructure without compromising a 125+ year-old building.
A legacy camera system that couldn't keep pace with a high-volume downtown Chicago operation
The Berghoff's existing surveillance infrastructure had aged past the point of reliability. Coverage gaps, poor image quality, and no remote access meant management couldn't effectively monitor guest safety, support employee accountability, or review footage when incidents occurred. Operating in a 125+ year-old historic building added another layer of complexity — the upgrade had to work within the structure, not against it.
A commercial video surveillance system designed around the building's operational and physical requirements
Umbrella Security designed and installed a commercial video surveillance system that addressed The Berghoff's specific coverage needs — guest areas, employee zones, and entry points — while respecting the historic fabric of the building. The result was improved visibility across the operation, mobile and desktop access to live and recorded footage, and a system foundation that can expand into broader business intelligence as the operation grows.
"Working with the Umbrella Team turned our clunky security system into an integrated part of our operation and set a new standard of security for our important tenants."

Questions About Commercial Security Systems in Chicago
What types of Chicago facilities does Umbrella Security work with?
Umbrella Security works with commercial office buildings, multi-tenant properties, industrial and manufacturing facilities, healthcare campuses, logistics and distribution centers, retail and restaurant groups, schools and universities, and government facilities throughout Chicago and the surrounding Illinois region.
Does Umbrella Security design systems for multi-tenant Chicago buildings?
Yes. Multi-tenant commercial buildings in Chicago have specific access control, elevator management, lobby security, and floor-level permission requirements that standard single-tenant systems cannot address. We design systems that account for shared lobbies, separate tenant zones, property management oversight, and 24/7 operational demands.
What security systems does Umbrella Security install in Chicago?
We install commercial security camera systems, access control systems, intrusion alarm systems, intercom and entry systems, and integrated security platforms. We also provide ongoing monitoring, service, and support.
How is a system designed for a Chicago high-rise different from a standard installation?
Larger Chicago commercial properties require planning around camera coverage zones, network infrastructure, storage capacity, access credential management across multiple entry points, elevator integration, parking structure visibility, and loading dock control. We conduct a site assessment and build a system plan before recommending any equipment.
Does Umbrella Security provide ongoing support after installation in Chicago?
Yes. We provide service, maintenance, and support for commercial security systems after installation. Commercial facility security standards are also outlined by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). Our Chicago office at 4001 W Devon Ave, Suite 25 serves the city and surrounding areas. Contact us at 630-270-3313. Illinois facilities may also qualify for security grants to offset installation costs.
What areas around Chicago does Umbrella Security serve?
In addition to Chicago, we serve Arlington Heights, Schaumburg, Naperville, Aurora, Joliet, Bolingbrook, Elgin, and Elk Grove Village, as well as the broader Chicago metropolitan area. Contact us if your city isn't listed.
