Case Study: Illinois Alarm Service stops million-dollar thefts with V5 Systems' OnSight solar surveillance and AI analytics

Family Business Solves Million Dollar Theft Problem with Timeless Values and High Tech

Illinois Alarm Service, a family‑owned security integrator in Forest Park, Illinois, was asked to solve a client’s escalating problem of millions of dollars in theft from a remote construction yard that had no fixed power or communications. To meet the need for fast, reliable outdoor monitoring and real‑time visibility, Illinois Alarm Service deployed V5 Systems’ OnSight Portable Surveillance Unit with Analytics.

V5 Systems provided a solar‑powered, turnkey OnSight unit running edge AI video analytics that distinguishes people, vehicles and animals and sends alerts in under three seconds. The plug‑and‑play system—installed in under 30 minutes—gave the customer immediate remote visibility, helped stop ongoing theft and damage, and delivered ongoing site protection; it also generated local interest that opened new sales opportunities for Illinois Alarm Service.
