Your warehouse is likely the linchpin of your business, housing not only inventory but acting as a promise to supply your customers with the goods they need. It helps with cost control, order fulfillment, product protection, supply chain efficiency, and the means by which you can be flexible and quickly scale.
So what happens when your warehouse is not properly secured, and can be targeted by thieves? Not only can warehouse theft have a direct financial impact on your business, but it can increase costs, result in higher insurance premiums, lead to delayed orders, and tarnish your reputation.
While perimeter fences, access control systems, and inventory management can all thwart warehouse thefts, there’s a new and highly cost-effective tool for businesses–high definition wireless cellular security cameras.
New Warehouse Security Tools: Cellular Connectivity
Wireless cellular security cameras like the Tactacam DEFEND have opened new avenues for businesses interested in maximizing their warehouse security systems. Surveillance cameras like the DEFEND are totally wireless, powered by long-lasting batteries, and connect to the internet using cellular signals.
Wireless cellular security cameras use 4G and 5G networks–the same networks that allow you to check your email, social media, and traffic updates on the go. This means you don’t need to cover every corner of your warehouse with Wi-Fi.
Plug-and-Play Warehouse Security
Wireless cellular security cameras offer warehouse managers the ability to have a security system installed in minutes, not days. Installation of a warehouse security camera requires no special tools and no wiring–simply attach the mounting bracket, download the app, select a data plan, and you can be up and running in very little time compared to traditional hard-wired surveillance systems.
Further, thanks to the wireless nature of security cameras like the DEFEND, it’s easy and simple to move cameras as warehouse operations change.
Motion Detection and Smart Security Alerts
At the heart of any effective, high-tech security system is an advanced motion detection system paired with smart security alerts. Cameras like the DEFEND offer both.
The Tactacam DEFEND is designed specifically for security. Features include a wide field of view and enhanced low-light performance that lets it monitor large areas and capture clear images even after the sun goes down and the lights go off.
The DEFEND provides cellular connectivity using a built-in SIM, which allows for real-time monitoring through the Tactacam app. All you have to do is create an account and choose a data plan. DEFEND sends you instant alerts when motion is detected, which can also serve as evidence in case a police report or insurance claim are needed.
With IP66 weatherproof rating, DEFEND is versatile enough to be used indoors and outdoors. Mounting flexibility means it can be tiled up and down and side to side, allowing you to mount once and position later to get the perfect angle.
