One of the most important aspects of many commercial businesses is warehouse security. Businesses everywhere depend on the warehouses they own to store important parts of their business and security problems will end in financial losses and also lower employee morale. This is why logistics companies, as well as storage facilities, have to have physical barriers and security deterrents that protect against unauthorized access. Let’s find out just why warehouse security is important for business.
Video Surveillance System Implementation
Having a commercial security system installed is essential for warehouse security. Being able to retrieve recorded activities is now much more easily accessible and more readily available thanks to digital recording as well as state-of-the-art DVRs that offer the most amount of protection as well as several benefits that include:
- Seamless integration with other security systems
- Simultaneous recording and playback
- Quick retrieval of video data
- Unattended archiving
- Remote monitoring
- Real-time recording across multiple sites
- Superior video quality
One of the best on this list is remote alarm monitoring. This feature allows business owners and warehouse managers to utilize their IP-based video surveillance systems in order to monitor video data from essentially anywhere, at any time.
Building Structure
How Buildings Must Be Constructed
Buildings have to be constructed out off materials that are able to resist break-ins and protect from being tampered outside.
Air, Light, & Sound Detection
A system such as a hazardous gas detection system or a vape detection system should be monitored and secured for unauthorized shutdown or tampering, as with the building’s structure, tis critical system should be tested periodically to ensure that it’s working properly.
Fencing
The perimeter around your facility should be enclosed in some fashion to prevent intruders from accessing your property. It’s recommended that protection from outside intrusion be documented. This process can be made incredibly simple and effective by the implementation of an access control system. Access control systems are incredibly useful and sophisticated, yet simple to use if installed correctly. Access control systems can also be integrated into several other commercial security systems to optimize effectiveness.
Lighting
Proper lighting has to be provided outside and inside of the facility, especially in these areas:
- Entrances
- Exits
- Handling and storage areas
- Fence lines
- Parking areas
