A growing logistics tenant in Epping needed full-site coverage — but couldn't afford a single hour of disruption to a warehouse running seven days a week. Here's how we planned around their shifts instead of asking them to work around us.
The operations team at this Epping distribution site needed camera coverage across the full warehouse floor, three loading docks, and staff entry points. The catch: the site ran three shifts a day, seven days a week, moving freight constantly. Any install that required shutting down a dock, even briefly, would cost the business real money.
Operations manager Angela D. had worked with security contractors before who treated the install schedule as fixed and expected the warehouse to work around it. That wasn't going to fly here — the plan had to bend around live operations, not the other way around.
We scoped a 14-camera system combining wide-angle coverage for the open floor with PTZ cameras on each of the three loading docks, plus access control fitted to the staff door, dock office, and vehicle gate. Camera placement was planned from Angela's own floor plan and dock schedule, not a generic warehouse template — dock 2's blind corner near the pallet racking got specific attention after Angela flagged it during the walkthrough.
Rather than one continuous block, the install was staged across three days, with each dock's cameras and access control fitted during that dock's quieter changeover window. A four-person team worked the site, coordinating each day's plan directly with Angela's shift supervisors so freight movement never stopped for the install.
"Warehouse job across 3 days, zero disruption to our operations. The team worked around our shift schedule without being asked."
