Warehouse Security & Technology

Security and IT infrastructure for NH warehouses that protects inventory, controls access, and keeps operations connected.

Distribution centers, manufacturing plants, and cold storage facilities in New Hampshire have a simple reality: everything moves on a schedule. A camera down during a theft is not an inconvenience — it is a loss. An access control system that does not log dock access is a liability. And a network that drops barcode scanners costs money every minute it is down. We have been installing warehouse security and technology in NH since 1985.

The Warehouse Difference

A warehouse is not a retail store.

Warehouses operate on metrics: loading times, inventory accuracy, and through-put. Security systems need to protect without slowing down receiving and shipping. Network cabling needs to survive forklift traffic and temperature swings. Phones need to connect a warehouse floor the size of a football field. And cameras need to capture details in lighting conditions that change from shift to shift.

We understand these constraints because we have installed systems in warehouses across New Hampshire. Our technicians know how to run a Cat6 cable across a 60,000-square-foot space without blocking aisles. Our engineers design camera layouts that capture loading dock faces in direct sunlight and dark loading bays. And our support team answers the phone because warehouses do not operate on a 9-to-5 schedule.

What Warehouses Require

  • Loading dock cameras with license plate capture and delivery verification
  • Access control that tracks every entry event and prevents unauthorized off-hours access
  • Warehouse-wide cabling that supports Wi-Fi and barcode scanners in every aisle
  • VoIP systems with overhead paging that reaches 60,000-square-foot spaces
  • After-hours intrusion detection that covers every delivery door and emergency exit
  • Network segmentation that isolates inventory systems from guest and office traffic

Common Warehouse Scenarios

Where security matters most in your building.

Loading Dock and Receiving

Cameras with license plate capture on every tractor trailer. Access control that limits dock hours to shift personnel. Intercom for driver check-in. Overhead paging for dock supervisors. When a shipment arrives after hours, security can verify the driver remotely before opening the gate.

Warehouse Floor and Inventory

Wi-Fi access points every 100 feet powered by network cabling that spans the warehouse ceiling. Barcode scanners connect reliably in every aisle. Inventory management systems stay online during peak load. And the network is segmented so warehouse devices do not interfere with office systems.

After-Hours and Weekend Security

Motion-triggered cameras with instant alerts. Intrusion alarms that cover every delivery door and emergency exit badge logs that show exactly who was in the building and when. Central station monitoring dispatches police immediately — not after the theft is already done.

Office and Dispatch Communications

VoIP phones with hunt groups that ring the shipping desk, the warehouse floor, and the office simultaneously. Overhead paging that reaches every corner. After-hours forwarding that sends critical calls to the operations manager. And call recording that documents every delivery issue.

Case Study

NH distribution center: complete security overhaul after break-in.

The Problem

A 55,000-square-foot distribution center in Manchester suffered a break-in that cost over $40,000 in stolen inventory. The existing cameras were analog with no night vision, the access control was standalone keypads with no audit trail, and the alarm system was not monitored — nobody knew the break-in happened until staff arrived Monday morning.

The Solution

Arcomm installed 28 IP cameras with night vision, license plate capture on every loading dock, and motion-triggered alerts for after-hours activity. We replaced standalone keypads with badge-based access control on every door, set time-restricted entry for off-hours personnel, and connected everything to UL-listed central station monitoring with video verification. We also installed network cabling across the warehouse ceiling to support reliable Wi-Fi and barcode scanner connectivity in every aisle.

The Result

Operations managers can view every loading dock and warehouse aisle from a central dashboard. Access control logs show exactly who entered and when. Motion alerts notify security immediately when activity occurs after hours. And the warehouse network now supports barcode scanners without a single dead zone. Since installation, zero after-hours security incidents.
