Warehousing & logistics

Loading docks, yard traffic, and the far corner of the building that Wi-Fi never reached. Cameras and network where inventory actually moves.

Warehouse building and surrounding yard

Representative site photo — dock, yard, and far corners that cable rarely reaches.

The warehouse is not one rectangle. Coverage has to follow the dock, the yard, and the gate.

A single NVR in the office does not see the rear loading lane, the trailer staging area, or the employee lot behind the building. Those shots usually need an honest path — cable where it is cheap, point-to-point where it is not.

We design for how the site runs: shift change, inbound and outbound, where forklifts actually travel, and which doors stay open. Not a camera on every corner — coverage that matches the operation.

Product lines we spec on these sites.

Design for how the site is used day to day.

  1. 01

    Dock and yard coverage

    Cameras on approaches, doors, and lanes — with storage and retention someone on site can actually use.

  2. 02

    Building-to-yard backhaul

    Cambium cnWave or ePMP when fiber is not going to the far gate or the secondary dock.

  3. 03

    Office and IDF switching

    Meraki, UniFi, or Cisco Small Business switching with PoE budgets that match the camera count — not a switch that runs out of ports at commissioning.

Warehousing and logistics ROI

Dock lanes, yards, and gates are where inventory actually moves — and where one prevented incident can cover the entire system.

  1. 01

    Cargo and inventory theft

    Facilities lose tens to hundreds of thousands per year to theft. AI-equipped coverage commonly reduces incidents 30% or more — and a single major cargo claim (often $200k+) can exceed the project cost.

  2. 02

    Loading dock chain of custody

    Cameras and LPR at gates and docks create records that stop false missing-shipment claims — inbound and outbound.

  3. 03

    Process errors

    Footage catches wrong picks and improper handling that cost more than external theft on many floors.

  4. 04

    Safety and compliance

    PPE zones and forklift paths on camera reduce OSHA investigation time and support safety programs without a separate analytics vendor.

  5. 05

    Staff efficiency

    Smart alerts replace constant human monitoring. Cutting false alarms alone frees meaningful staff time on large yards.
