Detection That Doesn’t Miss
An alarm system should do one job perfectly: alert the right people, instantly, when something is wrong. Our systems are engineered around that single principle — accurate sensors, redundant communication paths, and immediate response.
Built to Specification
Every system is designed around your floor plan, entry points, and operational hours — not pulled off a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Tamper-Resistant Hardware
Industry-leading control panels and sensors with battery and cellular backup, so an alarm still fires when power or internet is cut.
Always Reachable
Arm, disarm, and view system status from your phone. Receive push notifications and SMS alerts the moment a zone trips.
Detection That Doesn’t Miss
A single platform handling intrusion, panic, supervisory monitoring, and remote control — fully integrated and centrally reported.
Burglar & Hold-Up Alarms
Door and window contacts, motion sensors, glass-break detection, and silent hold-up triggers wired into a single, monitored control panel.
Panic Alarms
Discreet fixed and wearable panic buttons for staff, front desks, and high-risk areas — connecting directly to our central monitoring station.
Supervisory Devices
Monitor what matters beyond intrusion: carbon monoxide, low temperature, sump pump failure, power loss, and manufacturing process faults.
Remote Control & Notifications
Full app control over arming, zone bypassing, user codes, and real-time event history — with text and email alerts for every event.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions homeowners and business owners ask before installing an alarm system.
How quickly do you respond to an alarm signal?
Our UL-listed central station receives every signal in real time and dispatches police, fire, or medical response within seconds. For service or false-alarm follow-up, our technicians typically respond within hours — not days.
Will my alarm still work if the power or internet goes out?
Yes. Every system we install includes a sealed backup battery, and we recommend cellular backup communication so signals reach the monitoring station even if your power, phone line, or internet is cut.
Can I arm, disarm, and check the system from my phone?
Yes. You get full remote control through a secure mobile app: arm and disarm zones, bypass sensors, view event history, manage user codes, and receive instant push or SMS notifications for any activity.
What’s the difference between burglar, panic, and supervisory alarms?
Burglar alarms detect unauthorized entry through doors, windows, and motion sensors. Panic alarms are manually triggered by staff during a hold-up or threat. Supervisory alarms monitor non-intrusion events — carbon monoxide, low temperature, sump pump failure, power loss, or equipment faults. A single ASI panel can handle all three.
Do you service alarm systems installed by other companies?
In most cases, yes. We service a wide range of major brands and can typically take over monitoring and maintenance without replacing existing hardware. We’ll review your current system during the site assessment and let you know exactly what’s supportable.
How long does a typical installation take?
A residential alarm install is usually completed in a single day. Commercial installations vary based on building size, number of zones, and integration with existing systems — you’ll get a clear timeline in your proposal before any work begins.
Are your systems UL listed and code compliant?
Yes. ASI is a UL-listed alarm provider, an authorized Bosch security dealer, and our installations follow NFPA standards and Illinois state requirements. We provide documentation for insurance and inspection purposes on request.
