We help commercial and multifamily properties across Chicago with expert-level security system integration. Whether it's linking your cameras with alarms or giving your access control system better visibility, we make sure your tech works together, not in pieces. If your current setup is clunky, outdated, or full of gaps, our integration team brings it all up to speed with smart, simple upgrades your staff can count on.
Security Systems We Expertly Integrate
We unify your security technologies to create intelligent, interconnected protection that enhances your overall security posture.
Video Surveillance
Connect your camera network with access control for smart, event-based recording and quicker incident tracking.
Electronic Access Control
Keep credential data synced across every location and make it work with your alarms and cameras for better site control.
Intrusion Detection
Coordinate your alarms with door locks and surveillance to help stop threats in real time, not after the fact.
Fire Alarms
Integrate emergency systems with building controls so alerts trigger fast responses and safety actions immediately.
Intercoms & Door Entry
Link visitor calls with live video and credential checks for clear communication and secure entry every time.
Our Integration Methodology
1. Discovery Analysis
We start with a full review of your existing security hardware and setup. This helps us spot what can be improved, where systems are failing to connect, and how we can unify them.
2. Architecture Development
Our engineering team builds a new system layout that improves communication between devices without losing any key features you already rely on.
3. Interface Planning
We design the right connections and custom protocols so each piece of your security system shares data effectively and without delay.
4. Performance Optimization
Every component is adjusted for top performance, reduced lag, and higher reliability so your entire setup runs better under pressure.
5. Middleware Implementation
We install the hardware and software bridges that allow different technologies to work together, even if they weren’t built to.
6. System Validation
We test everything. Each connection is checked for data accuracy, functionality, and consistent performance under different conditions.
7. Ongoing Support
After your system is integrated, we keep it running. Our team offers continuous help, software updates, and maintenance to keep everything connected and operating smoothly.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of integrating multiple security systems?
A connected system creates a single, unified security network where each component communicates and responds as one. This setup eliminates blind spots, simplifies day-to-day management, and allows automated actions between tools that previously worked in isolation. The result is stronger protection and smoother operations across your entire property.
Can you integrate security systems from different manufacturers?
Yes. Our team works with a wide range of technologies from various brands. We specialize in bridging the communication gap between systems — old and new, well-known or niche — so they operate together without issues. No matter the mix of equipment, we build the integration to make it work as a single, reliable system.
How long does a security system integration project usually take?
Project timelines depend on how complex your systems are and how much integration is needed. Smaller jobs can be completed in just a few days. Larger, full-building or multi-site integrations may take several weeks. During our initial consultation, we’ll give you a detailed schedule based on your specific setup.
Build a Smarter, More Connected Security Operation
When your systems aren’t connected, you’re left with gaps and inefficiencies. Forbel’s integration experts design and install fully connected security systems that improve response times, simplify management, and boost protection across the board.
