Warehouse Security Cameras

Posted by Mark Parker on Tuesday, October 2, 2018 Under: Guest Security Articles
There are many reasons to use security cameras at your warehouse to make sure that everything runs smoothly within your storage facility. These cameras can help put a halt to possible theft. Additionally, it can add to other aspects of security rather than having security guards monitor the warehouse day in and day out.



Since warehouses are typically large storage facilities, warehouse security cameras allow you to watch the warehouse area from remote areas. Warehouses are not always near company property but instead are in different locations. Sometimes warehouses may not house any workers whatsoever but instead serve just as a storage place. Oftentimes, there is no need to have anyone at the warehouse at all if there is just stuff there that can be retrieved as needed. However, since no one is there, you cannot simply leave it unattended. Burglaries could occur and no one would have a clue.

That is where the security cameras come into play. They cut down on the necessity to hire additional security guards to man the area. Instead, you keep your overhead costs lower by having security cameras installed. With technological advances, you can even monitor the warehouse through connections on the Internet and check in at any hour of the day. This includes the times that your business is closed. While used in conjunction with motion detector lights and alarms, security cameras will help you nab a thief before they have the chance to tamper with, steal or vandalize your warehouse.

There are some questions that could create risks of having surveillance on the warehouse. Some areas may be subject to privacy issues. You cannot have cameras in restrooms, however, they can be beneficial in storage or office areas. Though rare, sometimes burglaries see these surveillance cameras as a challenge and can be targeted for thieves and therefore, you could end up with damaged security cameras. You must also make sure in case of power outages that you have back up power systems or back up security systems in order to continue monitoring and protection of your warehouse facility.

When considering where to place your security cameras, put them in open areas and near all entrances that can record people that come and go and whether or not they leave with items that are unauthorized. Additionally, cameras should be placed in areas where valuables are located. Also make sure to keep them on the outside to look out for possible intruders. You may also consider placing cameras in administrative areas so that theft of company records or small amounts of cash can be prevented.
