Security cameras for warehouses, perimeters and loading docks
We design security cameras for warehouses and distribution centres across Attica, from Thriasio and Aspropyrgos to Mesogeia: perimeters, gates with number plate recognition, loading docks and high-racking aisles, over long distances and with images that work at night.

Security cameras for warehouses: four zones, four different problems
A warehouse is not one space but four: the perimeter with its fence and yard, the vehicle gates, the loading docks, and the interior with its racking. Each zone needs a different camera, lens and settings. A system of security cameras for warehouses built with the same camera type everywhere usually fails at the most critical point.
On the perimeter you want early detection of a person or vehicle; the face does not matter. At the gate you want the plate and the time. At the dock you want to see the load, the pallet and the container seal. Inside the aisles you want to see who went to which rack.
- Perimeter: bullet or thermal cameras with person and vehicle analytics
- Gates: a number plate recognition (ANPR) camera plus an overview camera
- Docks: one camera per dock or per two, with a view into the truck
- High-racking aisles: cameras in portrait view (corridor mode)
- Dispatch office and drivers' area: entrance and the document hand-over counter

Perimeter and yard: long-range night vision
Warehouses in Thriasio, Aspropyrgos, Magoula or Mandra often sit on plots with almost no lighting at night and fences hundreds of metres long. There we use cameras with varifocal lenses and powerful infrared, or thermal cameras for long straight sections, which detect a person even in total darkness, dust or fog.
Cameras with AI analytics tell people and vehicles apart from dogs, bags and branches, so alerts are few and genuine. Many models also have a deterrent light or a spoken warning that triggers when someone crosses a line. The view is set so that it does not take in the public road and neighbouring plots beyond what is strictly necessary.

Number plate recognition (ANPR) at the gates
An ANPR camera at the gate records every vehicle's plate with date and time. It can open the barrier automatically for company trucks and listed partners, and alert you when an unlisted vehicle enters or when one arrives out of hours. The history can be searched by plate.
To read reliably, the camera is mounted at a specific angle and distance from where the vehicle stops or slows down, with shutter settings for motion and lighting at night. Plates are personal data: drivers are informed by a sign at the gate, and the history follows the same retention period as the rest of the footage.
CCTV for warehouses and logistics
Loading docks and delivery disputes
Most disputes with customers and hauliers are about what was loaded, in what condition and when. A camera at each dock, placed to see into the trailer once the doors open, shows the pallets, any damage that was already there, and the seal. With the dock number and time from the warehouse management system, you find the clip in seconds.
Cameras at the docks and in the aisles are there to protect goods, not to count how many pallets each forklift driver loaded. Employees are informed in writing, and rest areas, changing rooms and toilets stay out of view.

Long distances, power and internet
A network cable reaches about 100 metres. In a warehouse with several buildings or a large yard, we install weatherproof cabinets with PoE switches in the field and connect them to the main rack with fibre. We add surge protection on outdoor cables and a UPS on the recorder and switches, because power cuts are not rare in industrial zones.
On new plots where the fixed line is slow to arrive, Starlink or a 4G/5G line gives remote viewing from day one and can stay on as a backup connection. We have installed industrial Starlink with telephony and custom mounts, for example at MarsTissue in Afidnes, so we know what it takes to work reliably in such sites.

How we work
How we design a warehouse system
Survey by day and night
We walk the perimeter, gates and docks. Where needed, we also check the night-time lighting.
Plan on the site drawing
Camera positions and fields of view, cabinets, fibre routes, recorder capacity and power.
Phased installation
We work zone by zone so loading carries on. Cherry pickers, poles and lifts where needed.
Settings and testing
Detection lines, ANPR, alerts, privacy masks, retention of up to 15 days, night-time tests.
Handover and maintenance
Training for the security shift, a plan showing every device, and a proposal for periodic cleaning and checks.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can't find what you're looking for? Call us or send us a message.
How many cameras does a warehouse need?
It depends on the length of the perimeter, the number of gates and docks, and the aisles. A small warehouse with one gate and two docks may be covered by 8 to 12 cameras, while a distribution centre with dozens of docks needs many more. The design is done on a site drawing or floor plan.
How much do security cameras for a warehouse cost?
The cost is driven by the number and type of cameras (bullet, thermal, ANPR), the distances and whether fibre and field cabinets are needed, the mounting height and the need for a lift, and the recorder capacity. We offer a free site survey, and the quote breaks down equipment and labour by zone.
Is number plate recognition at the warehouse gate legal?
Recording plates at the entrance to private premises can be justified for security and access control, with drivers informed and a limited retention period. The camera targets your gate, not the public road. We are not lawyers: for your own case, ask your legal adviser or the DPA.
Thermal or standard cameras for the perimeter?
Thermal cameras detect people at long range and in total darkness, but they do not give an image you can identify someone from. We often combine thermal cameras for detection along long stretches of fence with standard cameras at gates and wherever you need to see a face or a vehicle.
What about the dust and wind in Thriasio?
We choose cameras with IP66 or IP67 housings and sturdy mounts that do not shake in the wind. In very dusty positions or near docks with exhaust fumes, we recommend periodic lens cleaning so the image and analytics stay reliable.
Can I view all the company's warehouses from one place?
Yes. Each site has its own recorder, and the central app or video management software shows them all together. Sites are connected by VPN, not through open ports on the internet.
Can the cameras record forklift drivers?
Cameras at docks and in aisles cover goods and their movement, and employees will inevitably appear in the image. They must not, however, be used to measure each driver's performance. Employees are informed in writing about the system and its purpose.
