BTI Communications Group designs, sells, installs and supports Brivo plus Eagle Eye systems from our Downers Grove office. BTI has Over 40 years in business and has delivered commercial security since the 2010s. Crystal Lake, McHenry, Huntley and Woodstock sites often mix shop, office and lot views, so the cloud video design has to name those cameras, the uplink, and who is notified when a scene needs review. BTI designs, sells, installs and supports Brivo access control and Eagle Eye cloud video, and can take over existing Brivo or Eagle Eye accounts after a documented review.

Who installs Brivo access control and Eagle Eye cloud video in McHenry County? BTI Communications Group, LTD. designs, sells, installs, supports and takes over existing Brivo accounts across McHenry County, the collar counties and Northwest Indiana from our Downers Grove office, and adds Eagle Eye cloud video where you want cameras in the same workflow. Illinois security license 127.001638.
We start with the openings: readers, controllers, locks, power, door contacts and request to exit, plus credentials, schedules and administrator roles in Brivo Access. Eagle Eye cameras are then placed where door events need a clip, so investigations start from the event instead of a search through hours of video.
Bridges, cloud managed recorders, controllers, PoE, cabling and upload capacity still decide what records and how a door behaves during an outage. BTI sizes those dependencies in the design and tests them before handoff.
Moving an existing Brivo or Eagle Eye account to BTI starts with confirming who owns and administers it. We document the doors, cameras, users, schedules and subscriptions before any change, so nothing is deleted or cancelled before the authorized handoff.
24/7 system health and alert monitoring is available, plus a 24/7 converged security NOC/SOC. Calls are answered in real time and client emails get a reply within 15 minutes.

BTI consistently solves IT challenges that our staff doesn't have the skill or time for. Their installation team is excellent and their support always makes sure all of our issues are solved.
BTI has been exactly what our growing company has needed for so long! They provide friendly, professional service and have consistently been willing to go above and beyond to ensure our complete satisfaction.
The entire team at BTI has exceeded my expectations. They took my company to the technology and security level I needed.
BTI has been installing security systems for Over 40 years, and our Downers Grove office is a Brivo and Eagle Eye reseller and installer for the McHenry County area. We design cloud video for distribution centers along I-55 and I-80, downtown offices, suburban schools and houses of worship.
A technician maps coverage at docks, lots and entries, checks network closets and confirms upload speed at each address.
Our crews work outdoors through McHenry County winters, with housings and heaters picked for cold docks and freezer rooms.
We create the Eagle Eye account, set camera subscriptions, add users by site and link video to Brivo doors.
Retiring an old NVR? A Bridge or CMVR keeps your working cameras online, and analog cameras can use an analog ready recorder.
Remote support, truck rolls from Downers Grove and device health alerts from the 24/7 NOC/SOC.
We can enable Eagle Eye 911 Camera Sharing so emergency responders see live views you choose to share during an incident.
McHenry County businesses often inherit cameras from a prior vendor or a merger. BTI takes over existing Eagle Eye accounts and Brivo accounts, so the cameras and stored video stay put and support simply changes hands.
Call 630-343-1322 to start. BTI designs, sells, installs, supports and takes over existing Brivo accounts, and Eagle Eye accounts follow the same path.
Eagle Eye manages every camera from the cloud. For each building we choose one of three ways to hold the video, based on how many cameras there are and how much upload the circuit can spare.
| Method | Storage location | Suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Eagle Eye Bridge | Cloud storage, with a local buffer that rides through internet outages | Offices, branches and churches |
| Eagle Eye CMVR | Local storage on the recorder, plus cloud copies by camera | Warehouses, plants and campuses with dozens of cameras |
| Camera direct | Cloud only, with no appliance on site | Small storefronts or a single entry |
Eagle Eye cites at least 48 hours of local buffering for a balanced Bridge system, and uploads can be scheduled overnight for sites on smaller suburban circuits.
Eagle Eye is camera agnostic and works with your existing IP and ONVIF cameras. Before quoting new cameras, we check the ones you own against the Eagle Eye compatibility list. Good cameras stay. We replace only failed units and fill coverage gaps.
Eagle Eye joined Brivo through a merger that closed December 29, 2025, so access control and video now run on one platform. Our door work is on Brivo access control in McHenry County.
A door held open at a Bolingbrook dock links straight to the Eagle Eye clip in Brivo.
Facilities teams with sites in Naperville, Elk Grove Village and the Loop manage doors and cameras from one login.
Standard, Professional, Enterprise and Multifamily are the four editions, and we help you choose per building.
These Eagle Eye products show up on most of our McHenry County area jobs. Every panel, reader and recorder we carry is on the Brivo and Eagle Eye hardware page.

Brivo reports that Brivo Eagle Eye Gun Detection received a 2026 Secure Campus Award, a fit for schools and churches.
Subscriptions are per camera. Each one combines a resolution level with a cloud retention period, so a dock camera and an office hallway camera do not have to carry the same plan.
BTI sells Eagle Eye Complete, a single recurring subscription that covers cameras, recording hardware and cloud service.
Short retention suits hallways, while gates and docks often need more. A CMVR can hold footage on site.
Eagle Eye monitoring from BTI ranges from device health to event review, staffed by our 24/7 NOC/SOC.
24/7 system health and alert monitoring available, plus a 24/7 converged security NOC/SOC. After the survey you get a written proposal listing each subscription.
McHenry County projects bring a few recurring details.
Outdoor cameras need heaters and sealed housings, and mounts are placed away from snow piles and plow paths.
Freezer and cooler rooms need cameras rated for low temperatures and condensation control at the door.
Downtown and near suburb buildings often need new cable paths. Our cabling team plans those runs with the camera layout.
The Moody Church and Edgewood are among the McHenry County organizations BTI has served.
The same team runs structured cabling and network switches, so cameras have the power and bandwidth they need.
