Joliet IL Security Company

Project Highlight:

Joliet Job Corps hired us to design, install and commission a professional security camera system.  The project from start to finish took about 2 months to complete which included 9 buildings, over 70 High Definition IP Cameras and 25 access control card readers.  Job Corps’ mission is to educate and train highly-motivated young people for successful careers in the nation’s fastest-growing industries. Job Corps is a U.S. Department of Labor Equal Opportunity Employer Program. Auxiliary aids and services are available upon request to individuals with disabilities. 

Video Intercoms that enabled visual verification and 2-way audio was also installed throughout the campus to further restrict access and validate visitors before entry.  The principal of JJC was ecstatic about the new security system and stated that we were very professional throughout the course of the installation and the training of his people left them feeling confident moving forward.

What Should I Look for When Buying a Commercial Alarm System?

It can be intimidating to choose a security system for your business if you're a newer company or haven't had one installed before. Chicago Security Systems' skilled team is available to make the process much easier for you. When selecting an alarm system for your business in the Greater Chicago area, there are a number of factors to consider. Your alarm system should be simple to operate so that you can rapidly arm and disarm it. You'll want to figure out what kind of contract or term you're signing. You should also look at your security company's reputation and some of its clients.

What Are the Costs of Business Security Systems?

The truth is that the cost of your security system is determined by your company's specific requirements. Although there is no one-size-fits-all solution for safeguarding your company, our team is ready to assist you in selecting the most critical features to make your workplace safe and secure. The price of your system is usually determined by the size of your institution. Our experts will be delighted to talk with you about your specific requirements and give you with a free consultation.

Is it possible for you to keep an eye on the outside of my business?

Yes. Chicago Security Systems provides the best outdoor CCTV security camera systems, including outdoor security cameras and wireless outdoor security cameras, to monitor the exterior of your business. Our 24-hour monitoring service ensures that your entire property is secure at all times. Entrances, green spaces, parking lots, and other areas can all be monitored by your outside security system.

Will I be taught how to operate my security system?

Yes, of course. When our expert team installs your new business security system, they'll show you how to use it and make sure you understand how it works. Our team is available by phone, and our technicians would be pleased to come out and see you if you have any problems. It's a good idea to have at least one person at your company who knows how to use the system at all times. In the event that you are unable to be there, we can also issue written instructions that can be retained on your property.

What Happens If Someone Triggers the Alarm By Accident?

If an employee or client accidently sets off your business alarm system, you must input your code on the keypad to turn it off. After that, you'll have to re-enable the system. If you are unable to disarm your system at the keypad, our monitoring station will contact you to ensure that everything is in order. You'll supply your password over the phone, and no more action will be taken. Our monitoring station will alert the authorities if your system is triggered and it is not an accident.

What Happens If There Is No Power?

Your company security system features a battery backup in case of a power loss. This ensures that the basic system components will continue to function on the batteries for an extended amount of time. Almost all power outages are repaired fast, so you'll almost never be without a functioning security system. If you are not at your place of business and have sensitive objects such as medical equipment, a large food freezer, or special pets on your property, your system can be configured to send a power failure signal to the monitoring station. To learn more about our emergency backup procedure, call Chicago Security Systems.

What is the difference between monitored and local alarm systems?

A local alarm system is one that only sounds on-site and does not notify anyone about alert incidents. If you're trying to secure your place of business, this is not a good idea. A monitored alarm system employs sensors and automatically transmits alarm occurrences to our 24-hour monitoring center. The monitoring station will receive coded information, and police, fire, and medical officials will be contacted. A monitored alarm system for your business is the best option since it can protect your system at all hours of the day and night, even if no one is around.

Will installing a security system save me money on my insurance?

Yes, in a lot of circumstances. If you have a monitored alarm system installed and operating properly, most insurance providers will give you significant discounts. Because businesses with security systems are less likely to file insurance claims for theft, break-ins, and other similar incidents, they are less likely to file insurance claims. Check with your insurance company for particular information on any money you may save. In some circumstances, the expense of installing a commercial security system will pay for itself through the savings in insurance premiums. Many insurance companies demand that you have a working security system.

Is a landline required for alarm monitoring?

No, there are a variety of solutions for your business's security system. Internet monitoring, as well as cellular transmitters, have become popular options. Our experts will be pleased to assist you in determining the best choice for keeping your system connected to our monitoring station at all times. Each choice has its own set of benefits and drawbacks. If a phone line is broken, for example, it will be unable to connect with the central station, but a siren will sound at your business in the event of an alarm. If you're thinking about switching phone carriers, double-check that their service is compatible with your company's security system.

What Are the Benefits of a CCTV System for My Business?

Protect your employees, visitors, facilities, inventory, and business assets with a commercial CCTV system. A CCTV system records occurrences on camera, which you can look back to in the future and use as proof if necessary. CCTV systems from Chicago Security Systems can help you keep an eye on your business even when you aren't there. Any smartphone, tablet, or computer can use our remote watching capability. In many circumstances, video cameras installed in your place of business have shown to be an excellent crime deterrent. They're also a useful tool for law enforcement in the event that an inquiry is needed.

Is it possible for me to control who has access to my company?

Yes. For extra security, Chicago Security Systems offers access control systems. You'll be able to grant or deny access to various parts of your company. Our company security solutions enable you to restrict access to sensitive sections of your organization, track or record access across your facility, do auditing, and keep track of staff time and attendance records, among other things. You'll also save money by eliminating the need for keys and avoiding costly re-keying when an employee leaves. To learn more about what we can do for you, please contact us immediately.

Can Our Elevators Be Monitored by Chicago Security Systems?

Yes, we certainly can. Our elevator monitoring system communicates with our 24-hour central station, where our operators determine the building and elevator location. If the emergency phone is used, we'll be able to locate it quickly and simply so that emergency professionals may be dispatched right away. Elevators are an essential feature of many companies in the Vancouver area. It's critical to keep an eye on them at all times to safeguard the safety of your visitors and employees.

Will My Security System Monitor For Fires?

Fires may be disastrous to any business, but with our fire alarm systems and alarm monitoring, we can detect fires early and reduce damage. Our fire alarm systems are properly installed and monitored 24 hours a day. We can also install fire alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, so you can be assured that you're getting the best.
