Services: Security System Installation

Umbrella Security Systems runs two Illinois offices – 4001 W Devon Ave, Suite 25 in Chicago (773-249-4400) and 1240 Iroquois Ave, Suite 204 in Naperville (630-270-3313). Founder Thomas Carnevale is described as a 25-year commercial security integrator.

The access control and intercom work covered above is one part of a broader commercial portfolio. Also listed: commercial security camera systems, intrusion alarm installation, emergency mass notification, visitor management, weapon detection systems, air quality sensors, security system integration and commercial monitoring. Security assessments and case studies are published separately.

Two items set this apart from a typical alarm installer. The first is grant writing, offered as a service – relevant to schools, municipalities and non-profits funding security work from state or federal programs rather than capital budgets. The second is an active SAM.gov registration (UEI ER57FHACV634, CAGE 16U24), the prerequisite for federal contracting. Taken together they point at public-sector work, not just private offices.

Licensing is published rather than implied: IDFPR Private Alarm Contractor Agency License No. 127-001871, and the company describes itself as an Illinois licensed and insured security systems contractor. It has been a BBB Accredited Business since 2017 and an approved Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce member since 2023.

Manufacturer alignments are unusually explicit for this trade, listing Axis Communications, Brivo, Milestone Systems, Avigilon, Hanwha, Honeywell, Alarm.com, Allegion, dormakaba, 2GIG, HID Global and Digital Watchdog. For anyone extending an existing system rather than starting fresh, that list is the quickest way to tell whether current hardware is supportable.

Beyond Chicago and Naperville the company names Schaumburg, Aurora, Arlington Heights, Bolingbrook, Elgin, Elk Grove Village and Joliet. Monitoring is available 24/7; the offices themselves are staffed Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 6:00pm. The initial system assessment is offered free and described as a conversation rather than a sales pitch.
