Goods fuel the global economy. The loading, unloading and transit of goods require advanced and cost-effective security solutions. Arecont Vision understands the unique needs of the transportation and warehousing market and provides megapixel technology to specifically meet those needs.
Trucking and shipping terminals are often located in industrial parks or suburban areas that are open and challenging to protect. This increases the number of security threats posed to trucking and shipping companies, including vandalism/graffiti and perimeter protection. Shipping locations, trucks, equipment, parked trailers and shipping containers are susceptible to criminal and unruly behavior and often targets for vandals and pranks. Video surveillance is a good tool to deter these activities and helps authorities prosecute offenders. Perimeter protection and intrusion sensors are key technologies to protect trucks and containers from external damage when in the facility. Access control systems protect employees and cargo from unauthorized intrusions and help protect the facility.

The primary problem with loading dock security is that most organizations lack security personnel in these areas. Add to this the sometimes relaxed attitude of the shipping and receiving operation, and many organizations are left dangerously vulnerable to contraband being smuggled in and assets being taken out. The list of security problems on the loading dock can run long. They can include dock doors being left open ostensibly to provide airflow, employees who are reluctant to be the “bad guy” by challenging unknown or unauthorized personnel, security staff who do not aggressively fulfill security initiatives, and a lack of clear procedures for items entering or leaving the facility.
