Project Overview

Design advice and implementation of security systems for a new build distribution centre, with ongoing monitoring and maintenance services.

Based on experience in other premises, the client foresaw various critical areas requiring addressing:

  • Potential for break-ins at the relatively remote site
  • Need to assure 3PL clients of the safety of stock, especially in picking areas
  • Health and safety issues for operatives in the warehouse, yard and loading docks
  • Need to control access to various parts of the buildings, manage visitors and clients with on-site office staff
  • An efficient and failsafe way of logging the arrival and departure of shift workers to calculate payroll

The Anchor Solution

  1. Texecom Elite perimeter security intruder alarm with monitoring.
  2. Excel fibre solution for distributing data to data hubs in the large warehouse building to avoid extending Cat 6 cable lengths beyond best practice.
  3. Logisticomms Focal CCTV surveillance system outside buildings with required CCTV masts, including ground works. Further CCTV cameras inside the building are also on the main system with the NX Witness video management platform and viewing display screen solutions. Extra assurance for Noatum’s 3PL clients by building in extra hard drive capacity, allowing CCTV recording to be available for 90 days.
  4. Logisticomms Angle-lok bracketry to ensure adequate view of lorry loading, in particular, high-value bays, and 360-degree ceiling-mounted cameras to reduce the overall amount of cameras needed.
  5. Paxton Entry system for welcoming and control of visitors, including security barrier integration and video door entry intercoms. Twin height intercoms for cars and freight transport.
  6. Paxton Net2 access control and RotaOne time & attendance, coupled to ievo biometric readers to avoid the system failing because of lost/borrowed tokens or cards. Audible and visible break-glass alerts to prevent tampering.
  7. Colour-matched CCTV hardware: The brand new building façade aesthetics were carefully preserved by RAL colour-matching the CCTV cameras to the various shades of cladding finish.
