Brands we install & support chosen for reliability, uptime, and serviceability.

In multi-tenant properties, brand choice is rarely about “image quality” or “app features” alone. The real success factors are stable power, predictable networking, serviceable hardware, and the ability to integrate systems in a way that building staff can actually operate.

For example, security cameras installed in garages and loading docks must deal with headlights, glare, and low light — so sensor performance, lens selection, and correct placement matter as much as resolution. In access control, reliability depends on door hardware, correct lock type, proper power supplies, and clean wiring/termination — not just which app looks nicer.

In Chicago and the North Shore, we see a lot of aging infrastructure: mixed cabling, legacy controllers, “mystery” power supplies, and unmanaged networks. We choose brands and architectures that can be stabilized, documented, and supported long-term — and we design systems that can scale across multiple entrances, garages, and shared amenity spaces.
