There are over a million warehouses in the U.S. Does your business own or lease one? If so, you should know the basics of how to secure your property. In Tampa, warehouse security cameras can help protect your property and provide peace of mind. Warehouse theft, both internal from employees and external from outsiders, causes businesses to lose inventory and money unnecessarily. Few crimes are 100% preventable, but security cameras significantly increase your chances of remaining safe. Integrated Security Consultants, headquartered in Tampa, Florida, has a team of expert camera installers who will work to meet your needs.
Warehouse Security
Why are warehouses susceptible to theft? There are a couple of factors to consider. First, warehouses usually have a large amount of inventory on-site, which makes them an attractive option to criminals. Additionally, it may be harder to catch a criminal because of the sheer size of a warehouse, especially if all entry points aren’t monitored with security cameras. Research has found that people tend to behave better when they know they’re being watched. Visible security cameras are a powerful crime deterrent. When a security plan combines cameras with technology like access control, it’s more likely that you’ll keep employees and visitors safe.
Not all threats come from strangers. Internal theft is a big problem in the warehousing industry, and it can often be more challenging to catch than external problems. Combatting employee theft is possible with a bit of strategizing. Conducting thorough background checks on all workers is the first step. Then, keeping an eye out for changes in employee behavior is a good idea, as it can signal that something is wrong. Lastly, if your delivery reports don’t match available stock, it could be a sign that employee theft has affected your business. Security cameras and alarm systems remain the most significant crime disincentive in warehouses.
