Solution brief · 2026 · Warehousing & logistics
See the dock, the yard, and the gate — not just the office wall
Inventory moves at the edges of the building. Coverage has to follow it.
The problem
A recorder in the office does not see the rear loading lane, trailer staging, or the employee lot. Those are the places cargo leaves and claims start. Putting sixteen indoor cameras on a high ceiling does not fix a blind dock.
The network is usually the constraint: PoE that browns out at night, no path to the far gate, and a switch that was sized for phones.
Typical sites
- Single-building warehouses
- Small distribution yards
- Cold storage and light industrial
- Dealer lots and service lanes
- Gates and trailer staging
What we design for
- 01
Docks and chain of custody
Approaches, doors, and lanes on the drawing — inbound and outbound records someone can actually pull.
- 02
Yard and gate
Plate and vehicle coverage at the gate when it belongs. Line-of-sight hops when fiber is not going to the far corner.
- 03
Power and switching
PoE budgets that survive IR and winter. Port maps that match the camera schedule — not a 24-port switch treated as 24 cameras.
- 04
Alerts that staff will use
Person, vehicle, and line-cross rules tied to hours — not a wall of motion clips nobody reviews.
Why it pays back
Cargo and inventory
One prevented incident often covers the project. Documented docks stop a large share of false missing-shipment claims.
Process errors
Wrong picks and handling show up on video — frequently a larger leak than external theft.
Safety programs
Forklift paths and PPE zones on camera shorten investigations without a separate analytics vendor.
What you leave with
- Camera schedule tied to docks, yards, and gates
- Path assessment if coverage leaves the building
- Switch / PoE schedule
- Retention and alert notes for operators
