Warehouse security a key issue

Security in warehouses is more than essential. Companies that have these warehouses use them to store their goods before sending them to the final customer. The warehouse is a place where a significant monetary value is located, and one of the pillars of a business. Often slightly away from cities, because of their size, they are isolated and sometimes coveted by outsiders. To avoid any incident or burglary, those responsible for these structures choose to equip themselves with surveillance equipment. Essential equipment when there is no monitoring, especially when storage areas are deserted.

Video surveillance, the warehouse ally

To keep an eye on stored goods, companies are investing in video surveillance. Cameras located at the four corners of the warehouse, detection of movements or intrusion at the doors… All these devices allow you to be informed in real time of the slightest attempt to break in.

Thus, it is possible to react more quickly, but also to be able to keep video traces of the crime. This not only allows the warehouse owner to see what has been stolen, but also to have the face of the intruder. As a result, he can use the images to track down the burglar and get redress. More than just a monitoring tool, it reassures, especially when the warehouse is closed. It also allows for faster intervention if one of the employees is injured, or has a problem.

These cameras allow to monitor and secure the activity of employees. As useful in warehouses as in small businesses, cameras and video surveillance systems are a deterrent. Depending on the size and need of the company, there are many camera models available.

In addition to allowing you increased surveillance throughout the day, you will be able to connect your ip cameras on a local network and on the net. This allows you to have a completely secure network, thus avoiding intrusions. This ensures that your building is secure and that all data is stored on a dedicated network.

Security and supervision in the company, supervised employees

Monitoring in companies is reassuring not only for managers, but also for employees. As mentioned above, an efficient video surveillance system can quickly detect any incident. Thus, the intervention is faster, for all cases. It also allows you to see how the teams work, and can have significant managerial benefits.

By observing the pace and operation of employees, their manager can identify areas for improvement. This can be equipment to transport products faster, or even a faster route to avoid wasting time…

In the regulations, however, the employer must notify its employees that a video surveillance and security system is activated in the premises. It must specify the purpose, such as monitoring the goods stored in the warehouse, for example.

It must also install the cameras in the locations corresponding to the lens, and respect the privacy of its employees. In the specific case of storage warehouses that do not receive an audience, there is no need to report to the CNIL.

In Bordeaux, many storage areas are used by large companies to store all kinds of products with varying values. Adopting a video surveillance system is therefore more than ever an imperative to be serene about the safety of goods and personnel…
