Illinois Gun Shops Instructed By Law To Invest In Video Surveillance Posted on January 30, 2019 by

Video Surveillance for Gun Shops in Illinois

Just weeks into 2019, Gov. Pritzger signed the bill requiring gun shop owners in Illinois to invest in video surveillance systems.

At Security Alarm, we know this is a low blow to many of the gun owners in the area. It’s also a hard hit for small gun shops in Southern, IL. Suddenly being ordered by law to install video surveillance is an expense most businesses didn’t account for in the budget.

As a local, family-operated company in Southern Illinois, we understand business ownership can be challenging at times, and money doesn’t grow on trees. Let us support you in your efforts to not only remain in compliance but keep your business safe and secure.

Complying With New State Firearms Dealers Regulations

At Security Alarm, we would like the opportunity to send one of our guys out to quote you a cost for video surveillance.

Yes, you could just go buy cameras from a warehouse club or another retailer, but opting for a professionally installed system, perfectly suited for your business and your budget is even better. And, it doesn’t have to cost more money.

4 Reasons To Choose Professional Video Surveillance Installation

Here are four reasons why we suggest an installation with a security provider you trust (even if it’s not us).

1. Custom Installation

This allows you to have a system designed for your specific needs. Our techs are experts, and they can make a lot happen for you.

2. Ongoing Support

With professional installation comes professional support.  

If your camera is having issues, you just call our local office and talk to Daniel, our in house tech. He will help over the phone and if he can’t fix it, we will get a tech on the road.

Camera systems from big box stores either don’t offer tech support or if they do, you’re going to be on hold for a long time.

3. Accessing Footage

What’s video surveillance without access to clear, accurate footage?

We often get calls from customers needing help transferring video footage from their cameras to a flash drive. Daniel is able to quickly talk them through this process.

As stated before, good tech support with retail cameras simply isn’t available.

4. Replacement Cameras

When you choose to work with a security provider like Security Alarm, getting replacement cameras are not an issue.

However, if you buy a camera system from a retailer or online, and one of those cameras goes bad, it’s going to be very difficult to find a replacement camera that works properly with the rest of the system.

Keep The Livelihood Of Your Business In Check – Choose Professional Video Surveillance Installation

Changes in gun control legislation have affected businesses across the country. Don’t let recent laws set your business back. Take steps to protect your business’ livelihood while remaining in compliance with new state laws.

Reach out to us for a no pressure meeting and fair estimate with one of our guys. If we can help you, we’d like to be given the opportunity to show you the Security Alarm advantage

I have been dealing with Lowitt Alarms Security Alarms since 1997, I an very satisfied with there service, I had a problem 4/5/24, I could not shut off the alarm, after calling Lowitt and following directions I was not able to shut off the alarm, I was told that the next appointment for repair would be tomorrow, I explained the we are seniors and please see what you can do, Linda, was able to made some adjustments and a repair person came to our home at 4Pm and put a new battery and radio, I highly recommend Lowitt Alarms to any one who is shopping for a Security System
The entire experience was great. Meeting with salesperson Ryan C. who didn’t try to sell us things we didn’t need. The installation crew who cleaned up as they went along and answerd all the questions about operating the system. Top notch all around.

The technicians (Curtis and Jeff) arrived as scheduled, had the installation diagrams as discussed with Larry during the sales presentation and immediately began working on the planned installation. These gents came prepared with proper tooling, equipment and most impressive was a strong desire to satisfy the customer. The install was timely, they ensured their quality of work was satisfactory and cleaned up their work areas after the system functionality was verified. Great technicians!

I called Security Alarm to check on cameras for outside since we had used them in our Ag business for years. The process to get lined up was simple and Larry was very thorough in explaining everything. They were out in just a few days to install them. Both guys were very friendly and professional. It didn't take long to install and I know they probably had wiring issues to deal with. They did a great job and the cameras show exactly where I wanted them. I am very pleased with the service and products installed.Thanks!
