Security Systems for Adelaide Warehouses and Distribution Centres

Wide-angle CCTV, loading dock monitoring, and perimeter detection systems for warehouses, distribution centres, and logistics hubs across Adelaide's industrial zones.

Security challenges in warehousing

Adelaide's warehouse and logistics precincts in Regency Park, Gillman, Edinburgh, and Lonsdale are critical supply chain hubs. Security failures here mean lost stock, disrupted operations, and liability exposure.

Stock Shrinkage

Warehouses holding millions of dollars in inventory suffer from both internal pilferage and external theft. Without CCTV, identifying when and how stock goes missing is nearly impossible.

Loading Dock Theft

Loading docks are high-risk zones where stock moves in and out. Incorrect loads, unreported damage, and organised theft during dispatch create significant losses.

Perimeter Intrusion

Large warehouse sites with extensive fencing are difficult to monitor. Intruders cut fences, climb gates, and access premises through service roads during off-hours.

Forklift & Safety Incidents

Warehouse operations involve heavy machinery and high racking. CCTV provides evidence for incident investigations and supports compliance with WHS obligations.

Vehicle Identification

Tracking which vehicles enter and leave your site, and when, is essential for security and operational management. Manual logs are unreliable and easily falsified.

Multi-Tenant Sites

Shared warehouse complexes require clear boundaries between tenancies. Access control and CCTV define responsibility and prevent cross-tenancy issues.

Our warehouse security solutions

We design warehouse security around your operational flow. Cameras are positioned to cover high-value stock, loading operations, and perimeters without interfering with forklift movement or racking systems.

  • * Wide-angle cameras for aisle and racking coverage.
  • * Loading dock cameras with number plate recognition.
  • * Perimeter cameras with thermal detection for after-hours.
  • * Access control on roller doors, pedestrian entries, and offices.
  • * After-hours alarm system with beam detection on perimeter.
  • * Integration with gate automation for vehicle access logging.

Coverage for large spaces

Warehouse interiors present unique challenges: high ceilings, long aisles, dust, temperature swings, and constant movement. We select cameras specifically designed for these conditions.

Wide-angle and panoramic cameras cover more area per unit, reducing the total camera count needed. This keeps costs manageable while maintaining comprehensive coverage across your facility.

How we secure your warehouse

1. Operational review

We understand your workflows, receiving, put-away, picking, dispatch, to position cameras where they protect without obstructing operations.

2. Coverage design

Camera types and positions are specified for each zone: wide-angle for aisles, detail cameras for docks, thermal for perimeters.

3. Infrastructure assessment

We assess power availability, network capacity, and cable routing paths to ensure clean, reliable installation.

4. Staged installation

Work is completed in stages to avoid disruption to receiving and dispatch. Weekend or after-hours work is available.

5. Testing & calibration

Every camera angle, detection zone, and access point is tested during daytime and night-time operating conditions.

6. Operations handover

Warehouse managers, logistics coordinators, and security staff are trained on monitoring, review, and alarm procedures.

Warehouse security FAQs

How many cameras does a warehouse need?

It depends on the floor area and layout. A typical 2,000sqm warehouse might need 8-16 cameras. We use wide-angle and panoramic models to maximise coverage per camera.

Can cameras read number plates at the gate?

Yes. We install dedicated ANPR cameras at entry and exit gates that automatically log every vehicle plate with timestamps, creating a searchable database of site visits.

Do cameras work in cold storage environments?

Yes. We specify cameras with internal heaters designed for freezer and cool room conditions. These prevent fogging and ice formation on lenses.

How is the perimeter monitored after hours?

We combine thermal cameras for long-range detection, perimeter beam systems for fence-line alerts, and after-hours alarm monitoring for rapid response to intrusions.

Can we control which staff access specific areas?

Yes. Access control systems allow you to define who can enter which zones and when. Office staff, warehouse workers, and management can each have different access permissions.

Will CCTV help with damage claims?

Absolutely. Loading dock cameras capture the condition of goods during receipt and dispatch, providing evidence for carrier damage claims and customer dispute resolution.
