Gates, loading docks, high racking and big open yards. Industrial sites need cameras that can read a plate at night and record long enough to matter.
On most industrial sites, everything of value leaves through the gate. A camera there that can identify a vehicle and read its plate is the most useful single camera on the site. It needs a narrow field of view on the spot where vehicles stop or slow down, with a second wider camera showing the whole vehicle and anyone on foot.
Docks are where stock goes missing and where disputes about deliveries happen. A camera on each dock door showing the truck, the forklift and the goods settles most arguments about what arrived and what left. Roller doors facing the yard are the usual after-hours entry point, so each one gets a camera.
High racking creates long narrow aisles with dark ends. Cameras mounted at the end of each aisle and looking down its length cover more than cameras scattered across the roof. Warehouse lighting often switches off after hours, so cameras with good infrared or a little ambient light are chosen for the interior.
Ipswich has industrial land spread across several suburbs, including Bundamba, Carole Park, Wulkuraka, Redbank, Riverview and the Swanbank area. Many of these sites have large open yards with fences that run hundreds of metres, which is where cable distance becomes a planning problem. Network cable runs reliably for about 100 metres, so long perimeters use fibre between buildings or a switch partway along. We work out the network layout before the quote, not on the day.
Industrial systems usually record continuously for 30 to 90 days. More cameras and more days mean more storage, and larger recorders take several drives. Managers and owners get their own app access, and if the business runs more than one site, every recorder can sit in the same app.
The camera network should be kept apart from the business network, with default passwords changed and no open ports on the router. Being a computer business, that part is built in.
Yards that should be empty at night suit active deterrence cameras. Anyone detected inside the fence after hours sets off strobes and a warning, and the alert reaches your phone at the same time. A schedule keeps them quiet during the working day.
Yes, if it is chosen and aimed for that job. A dedicated plate camera covers a narrow spot where vehicles slow down, with settings that stop headlights washing out the plate.
As high as the building and safe access allow. For high mounting points on warehouses, an elevated work platform may be needed, and that is listed in the quote.
Yes. If you run more than one site, each recorder can be added to the same app, so you can switch between them.
