Case Study – An integrated CCTV security system for Bleckmann warehouses

To ensure security in a warehouse, you can implement various measures.

These measures include installing CCTV cameras, deploying access control and door entry systems, and hiring security personnel. However, the cost of employing security guards is high so in this case we recommend considering CCTV monitoring 

Other measures include using inventory tracking systems, setting up alarms, and installing locks, fencing, and lighting.  Lastly, conducting regular security audits, and providing employee training on security procedures can help to ensure your security systems are robust.

The cost of warehouse security systems can vary.

This depends on the size of the site and the type of security measures put in place. For example, if you are looking for 20 cameras including ANPR, PTZ and thermal devices, the cost is greater than a simple 5-camera IP CCTV system.

When it comes to access control, a system consisting of 20 doors is much more than if you are only looking to secure the main entrance. Lastly, a larger more expansive perimeter will need a more sophisticated system than one for a smaller operation.

These systems can include CCTV systems including PTZ, thermal, bullet, and dome surveillance cameras. Additionally, access control systems and intruder alarms can be deployed to manage internal/external threats.

Each of these options when paired with regular checks and audits on your site, will help ensure your warehouse is protected against theft.
