Security Is Personal – The Novalarm Vision
At Novalarm Systems, we believe that security isn’t just technology—it’s trust, responsibility, and peace of mind. Security is personal because behind every alarm, every camera, and every system we install, there are real lives at stake. Families, employees, and communities deserve more than just a product; they deserve a partner committed to protecting what matters most.
Our story is rooted in experience. Jonathan Selesky, our Founder & President, started his career in security as a teenager—just a job at first, a way to earn some money. However, over time, he witnessed the life-saving impact of the industry and came to understand its true purpose. He saw firsthand the risks faced by people simply trying to earn a living—minimum-wage employees threatened by gang violence, multifamily residents caught in tragedy. Security isn’t about selling equipment; it’s about preventing loss, deterring crime, and saving lives.
In January 2022, two devastating incidents reshaped Jonathan’s vision. Watching helplessly as a young man bled out in a Chicago convenience store, followed by the horrifying murder of a resident in a multifamily property, made one thing clear—security solutions must do more. Systems should work together, providing real-time deterrence and rapid response rather than existing in isolated silos.
This is why we do what we do. At Novalarm, we’re changing the way security works, integrating smart technologies into cohesive systems that give businesses and families true protection, not just the illusion of safety. We don’t just install cameras—we build partnerships. We educate, we innovate, and most importantly, we listen.
Security Is Personal—Because Safety Is More Than Just a System
Security isn’t just about alarms, surveillance cameras, or access control—it’s about people. It’s about ensuring that no one has to fear for their safety at work, at home, or anywhere they should feel secure.
That’s why Novalarm takes a holistic approach to security, combining advanced intrusion detection, real-time monitoring, and proactive threat prevention to create customized solutions for businesses and homeowners. Whether it’s video surveillance, fire alarm systems, or smart security integration, we ensure that every solution is tailored to the unique risks and vulnerabilities of each client.
We understand that every business, home, and community has unique security needs. That’s why we work closely with our clients, offering free security evaluations to identify potential weaknesses and recommend practical, scalable solutions.
