Security teams on the ground across Chicago

The Chicago Police Department recorded 4,018 burglaries year to date as of September 20, 2026, down 11% from 4,498 over the same period in 2025 and a 28% decrease compared to 2024. But more than 4,000 incidents across the city in nine months means commercial properties still face a consistent threat. Kastle's Chicago-area team provides local site assessments, same-day technician response for service needs, and direct access to a national security operations center for around-the-clock monitoring.

The managed model

Design, installation, monitoring, and upkeep in one contract

Commercial properties across Chicago typically rely on separate vendors for camera hardware, installation, and monitoring. When a camera fails or firmware falls behind, property teams coordinate between those vendors. Kastle assigns one team to design, install, monitor, and maintain your camera system across every entry point, floor, and parking structure. That single point of accountability means one call resolves any camera issue, and one provider is responsible for the system's performance.

Site assessment and system architecture for security cameras in Chicago

As of July 2026, 26 office-to-residential conversion projects are underway in downtown Chicago, representing $1.8 billion in investment and more than 4,000 residential units. Each conversion introduces new lobbies, corridors, parking structures, and resident entry points. Kastle's security architects assess every door, stairwell, loading dock, and sightline before specifying any hardware. The result is a system designed for your property's actual layout and traffic patterns, with coverage mapped to where incidents are most likely to occur.

  • Site survey of every entry point, blind spot, and perimeter path.

  • Camera specifications matched to lighting, distance, and field of view.

  • Floor plans reviewed with your property and facilities team.
