Logistics and Warehousing Facilities Security Challenges:
From safety and compliance in the warehouse to catalytic converter theft, diesel siphoning, and drivers damaging the vehicles in the parking lot, Logistics companies have a lot of balls to juggle. In addition, theft, break-ins, and disputes over when pallets have been loaded/shipped out, doesn't just create loss of inventory, but can also completely slow or shut down operations, causing significant harm. For warehousing and logistics companies, controlling access and having eyes on inventory and fleets is a must.
Logistics Facility Operational Challenges:
You don't just need to keep an eye on video feeds, you also need to check your ERP, your production statistics, upcoming shipments, and staff schedules.
Don't worry, we've got you covered. If it can be displayed on a computer screen or digital television, we can record it and display it on your viewing stations.

Layered Security
Good security has multiple layers that solve different and usually escalating needs. Different incidents have different levels of risk and more severe threats should trigger multiple systems.
Monitor Loading Dock
- Cameras strategically placed to watch the loading dock area, both for packing and parking.
- Cameras facing the packing area can be used by to verify what was packed and which truck it was packed onto.
- Cameras facing the trucks can be used to check for damage and defects.
- The blue zones indicate the views of strategically placed varifocal lens long range cameras.
Parking Lot Entrance Intrusion
- Cameras strategically placed to watch exits and entrances help prevent and alert your security teams to vehicles entering or exiting the property.
- Often these cameras require wireless backhauls, which we will cover on the "network access + security" layer.
- The red zones indicate the views of strategically placed, varifocal lens zoomed in cameras with low light capabilities. This enables you to capture great quality images of license plates, even in extremely challenging lighting.
- Most logistics companies do not have fences around their property, which means that an intruder may enter from any direction, but the odds are that the vehicle will enter or leave via the entrances, so this is the best place to start. Full parking lot coverage is shown in the "monitoring fleet parking" layer.
- The camera setups for entrances use cameras facing towards and away from the entrance. This is preferred because not all states require license plates on both front and back of vehicles. Single cameras can be passable in states that require front plates.
Monitor Fleet Parking
- Catalytic converter theft, diesel siphoning, and vandalism to vehicles can drastically alter service levels and shipment timelines
- Often these cameras require wireless backhauls, which we will cover on the "network access + security" layer.
- Cameras strategically placed to watch parking areas and parking entry points.
- The blue zones indicate the views of strategically places varifocal lens long range cameras.
Liability and Risk Reduction: Safety Check
- Suit up! Cameras placed in this zone help assure that all personnel are following property safety equipment protocols before entering the production line.
- The green zones indicate the views of strategically places wide angle lens cameras for looking down warehouse aisles.
Unauthorized Access
- Electronic door locks and bluetooth readers allow you to control access to sensitive areas.
- Administrators can create groups based on job function. For example, office workers could only be given access to enter into their spaces, as seen on the image with the black readers, while warehouse staff could be be given access to enter the warehouse area, as seen with the white readers. Meanwhile, management's credentials could bet setup to allow entry to either space.
Warehouse Intrusion
- Cameras strategically placed in outdoors in areas with entry points, such as doors and windows, can alert your security teams to unwelcome individuals and unauthorized access.
- The blue zones indicate the views of strategically places fixed lens wide angle cameras.
- Long range camera are often also deployed to watch remote assets like gates or ancillary structures
Emergency
- Administrators can remotely lock down their institution in a variety of emergencies, including active shooter, natural disasters, and unsolicited visitor situations.
Wireless Backhauls
- Dealerships often have multiple buildings and expansive parking lots. That's a lot of area to cover. Often this requires installing wireless backhauls to connect disparate buildings, or to enable network connectivity for cameras placed on poles throughout the parking areas.
- Point-to-point wireless, military-grade beam wifi is often used to transport data between different areas on the property. These wireless beams are shown on the map in green.
Network, Cyber, and Application Security
- Our platforms use encryption, inbound connection refusal, automatic software updates, and cloud-based management so your physical security devices are not compromising your cyber security initiatives.
- VPN, MFA, SOC/SIEM, and Endpoint management services also available.
