Security for Warehouses & Distribution Centers

Fewer, better-placed cameras beat blanket coverage: every dock door, the gate with plate capture, main aisles, cage areas, and the yard's fence lines. A 100,000-square-foot facility often lands between 16 and 32 cameras. Placement follows the flow of goods, which is why we walk the site before quoting.

Yes, when they cover the chokepoints goods move through: receiving, staging, and loading. Shrink investigations live or die on being able to trace a specific pallet across those three points. Cameras aimed at general space instead of process points produce footage of nothing in particular.

It changes the fire side more than the security side: unconditioned space usually means dry pipe sprinklers, which need pre-winter attention and different inspection emphasis. Cameras and access hardware just need commercial-grade equipment rated for the environment.

Yes, the yard is often the bigger exposure: pole cameras with plate capture at entries, fence-line analytics, and live monitoring for after-hours activity. Trailer theft and fuel theft both drop sharply when the yard visibly watches back.

Audit first: most inherited warehouse systems keep their cabling and much of the hardware, and a takeover costs a fraction of a rip-and-replace. The audit tells you which side of the line your building is on before you spend either way.
