Using video surveillance equipment for virtual guarding saves costs and enhances security. It allows one person to monitor the entire logistics facility, replacing or supplementing on-site guards, and provides objective evidence in case of incidents.
4. Remote monitoring
This feature allows for auditing logistics facilities for policy compliance from any location. It complements on-premises audits by enabling frequent follow-ups on safety or security violations, ensuring continuous adherence to company policies.
Remote video surveillance deters internal theft in logistics facilities, safeguarding materials, and equipment. It creates a strong deterrence against criminal activity and helps resolve incidents quickly by reviewing footage.
6. Reduced labor expenses and hiring needs
By improving operational efficiency and possibly replacing on-site security guards, live video surveillance can significantly reduce labor expenses in logistics. It also aids in identifying productivity issues, allowing for a more efficient workforce.
