Security Systems by Industry

Yes, in most cases. We have pages for 20 kinds of facilities, including banks, schools, hospitals, manufacturing plants, apartment buildings, casinos, data centers, and jails. If yours is not listed, the process is the same. We assess the site, learn how it runs, and design cameras, access control, alarms, and monitoring around it. In more than 20 years we have installed over 10,000 systems.

Yes. We design camera coverage, recording, and access records around the rules your facility answers to, and we ask for them at the assessment. Some rules are specific. The FDIC’s security rule for the banks it supervises (12 CFR 326.3) calls for an alarm or similar device that promptly notifies law enforcement of a robbery or burglary, and DEA rules (21 CFR 1301.71) require registrants to guard controlled substances against theft and diversion. Your regulator or counsel decides compliance, and we build to the requirements you give us.

Yes. Cloud-managed cameras and access control put every location in one dashboard. From a phone or browser you can pull video, change door schedules, and add or remove users at any site. Larger organizations can run Genetec Security Center, which puts video, access control, and license plate recognition in one platform. We can use the same design at every site, which keeps training and service simple.

Often, yes. We look at every camera, recorder, door, and cable run during the assessment and mark what can stay. Many doors take a new reader and lock without being replaced, and some existing cameras and cabling can be reused. Keeping what still works lets you upgrade in stages and spend money where the gaps are.

Yes. When a camera flags a person or vehicle after hours, one of our live video monitoring agents checks the scene and can speak to the intruder through an on-site speaker. If the threat is real, the agent contacts police, fire, or EMS with details. Imperial has more than 2,600 documented apprehensions. Monitoring suits sites that sit empty overnight, such as job sites, lots, plants, and closed stores.

It depends on the size of the facility, the number of doors and cameras, the rules your industry follows, and whether you add monitoring. Every quote follows a free on-site assessment and comes in writing with options, so you can compare a first phase against the full design.

Yes. We offer leasing options on the systems we design and install, with flexible terms, so you can put the system in now and keep your capital available for other needs. Ask about leasing when you request your assessment, and we’ll include the options with your quote.

We work with businesses across the Chicago area and throughout Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, and Florida from our locations in Elgin, Chicago, Milwaukee, Fort Wayne, and Sarasota. Mention your address when you request a quote and we’ll confirm coverage.
