Introduction

Commercial environments like warehouses face unique security challenges – asset loss, compliance, and operational integrity. A robust CCTV setup delivers measurable returns through theft prevention, evidence capture, efficiency and compliance.

The ROI Case for CCTV

Statistics show businesses with video surveillance saw a 50% reduction in internal theft and a 20% drop in insurance premiums per Asset Protection Council (UK). Cameras deter potential wrongdoers and provide evidence to recover losses.

Beyond Theft: Compliance & Due Diligence

  • Quality assurance: Monitor picking, packing accuracy, and handling processes.

  • Health & Safety: Collect video evidence for incident investigations.

  • Regulatory readiness: Ensure goods flow matches export/import documentation.

Integrating CCTV with Operations

Integrate surveillance with:

  • Access control: Sync with door/open gate sensor logs.

  • Inventory systems: Tag assets with cameras – match location with SKU.

  • Alarm systems: CCTV-triggered alarms close the loop on alerts from Burglar Alarms.

Measuring Success

Set clear KPIs such as:

  • Theft incidents per 1000 inventory items
  • Cost savings on insurance
  • Incident logging reduction
  • Operational efficiencies via video audit

Best Practices

A simple, well thought-out layout for your CCTV Cameras helps:

  • Use wide-angle and zoom cameras for aisles & loading bays.
  • Maintain minimum 4K resolution for compliance clarity.
  • Implement centralised servers or cloud backup.
  • Ensure signage for legal compliance.
