Upgrading security for a warehousing company
A logistics firm contacted us to secure their warehouse to protect the business against break-ins, theft and unauthorised access.
Here’s a full overview of their security requirements.
- Secure external areas with visible deterrents
- Monitor internal zones to reduce the risk of theft
- Control door entry for delivery drivers and site visitors
- Keep all footage recorded and accessible for review
- Give the owner peace of mind and oversight
We visited the site to carry out a full review before installation. Keep reading to learn more about this warehouse CCTV & access control case study.
Evaluating the warehouse for threats & risks
One of our warehouse security experts assessed key entry points, staff-only areas and vulnerable blind spots.
To summarise, the site had no visitor access control and lacked proper surveillance around external areas of the site..
- Camera angles were limited, leaving gaps in coverage
- Secondly, deliveries were handled manually at the door with no screening
- Staff entry was uncontrolled, creating risks around internal security
- External lighting created areas where cameras had no visibility
- Lastly, Business operations and client confidence are at risk if a crime occurs
With this picture clear, we then developed a plan to secure the building inside and out.
Recommended security services
Altogether, we designed a security system that combined CCTV cameras with a video intercom to manage access and monitor key areas across the site.
Through this approach, this gave the client total site surveillance with greater control over who enters the building.
- Turret cameras inside to monitor the packing and storage areas
- Bullet cameras for external coverage and deterrence
- Paxton video intercom system for managing visitor access
- Push to exit buttons for staff safety and compliance
- Cameras are connected to an NVR to record all footage
Together, these proposed security systems tighten door access control and improve surveillance across the whole site.
The warehouse CCTV & access control system installation
The installation took place across two working days with no disruption to warehouse operations.
Furthermore, their management team monitors the systems on-site. Here’s a breakdown of the installation..
- Hikvision bullet cameras cover delivery bays and perimeter areas
- Internal turret cameras capture movement and access to stock
- Paxton video intercom installed at the main entrance
- Push-to-exit button added to key internal doors
- An NVR configured to store and manage footage with remote playback
In summary, the business now has clear footage, controlled entry and complete visibility across key areas.
Altogether, this busy boutique distribution centre has systems protecting stock, staff and commercial operations.
