High-traffic sites that don’t stop for security upgrades.

Distribution centres, third-party logistics, cold chain, and freight forwarding all share the same problem: continuous operations leave no window for downtime, but security needs to keep up with rising compliance, insurance, and theft-prevention demands. Ktronics designs warehouse security around how the site actually runs, not the other way around.

What we typically design for

The considerations that shape every install in this sector.

  • High-traffic access zones

    Multiple loading docks, dispatch areas, and contractor entries running 24/7. Credentials need to flow with shift changes, not the other way around.

  • Perimeter coverage

    Long fence lines, multiple yard cameras, and AI analytics that filter wildlife and weather so the alerts that fire are the ones worth reading.

  • Dock and yard management

    CCTV with timestamped events tied to access control swipes so dispatch disputes resolve in minutes, not hours.

  • Cold chain compliance

    Restricted-zone access with audit trails. Some clients run pharma or food-grade logistics where compliance documentation is non-optional.

  • Insurance-ready footage

    90-day retention is common for warehouse insurance. We size storage and resolution to your policy from day one.

  • Continuous-operations rollout

    Most warehouse upgrades have to happen during operating hours. We sequence the install around the dock schedule, not the other way around.

Common questions

Frequently asked.

  • How do you upgrade a 24/7 warehouse without disrupting operations?
    We sequence work around the loading dock schedule. Cabling and head-end work happens off-hours; cameras and readers are installed in zone-by-zone passes during quieter shifts. The system goes live in stages so each zone is operational before the next is touched. We do this on most warehouse rollouts.
  • Can the system handle 50+ cameras and 20+ access doors on a single platform?
    Yes. Our enterprise installs run on Lenel OnGuard, Tecom Challenger with Forcefield, or Genetec: platforms purpose-built for hundreds of doors and thousands of cameras. We size the head-end equipment and network during design, not after install.
  • What insurance retention is typical for warehouse CCTV?
    Most commercial warehouse insurance requires 30 to 90 days of retained footage at full resolution. Cold chain, pharma, and bonded warehouses often require 90+ days. We size storage to match your policy, with provision for retention extension if your insurer changes requirements.
