Without proper control, it's difficult to know who accessed the stock area and when, which makes shrinkage hard to trace and even harder to prevent. ↓ 02 · Required Systems What This Actually Needs A properly secured warehouse combines: [CCTV (Bays & Stock Areas)](https://qyvea.co.ke/cctv-for-warehouses-kenya) [Access Control (Stock & Staff)](https://qyvea.co.ke/access-control-for-warehouses-kenya) [Perimeter Security](https://qyvea.co.ke/electric-fence) [Networking (Inventory Systems)](https://qyvea.co.ke/networking) [Time Attendance](https://qyvea.co.ke/time-attendance-systems-kenya) ↓ 03 · Integration How These Work Together Keypad or card access at loading bays logs each driver or contractor entry, cross-referenced against CCTV footage covering the same bay. The stock store itself sits behind a separate, more tightly controlled access point than the general loading area. Reliable networking supports barcode scanners and inventory software so stock movement records exist independently of the access log, giving two data sources to cross-check against each other rather than relying on either alone. ↓ 04 · Maintenance Keeping It Running Warehouse maintenance is scheduled around operating hours to avoid disrupting loading and dispatch -- see our [warehouse maintenance](https://qyvea.co.ke/warehouse-security-system-maintenance-kenya) page for how this typically works. ↓ 05 · Recommended Approach Where to Start Start with the perimeter gate and loading bays -- these are the highest-traffic, highest-risk points. Add CCTV covering the same areas, then extend access control to the stock store specifically, with tighter credentials than the general loading area. Networking for inventory systems can be planned alongside or after, depending on whether inventory software is already in use. FAQ ## Questions How is driver access handled when drivers change frequently? Loading bay access typically uses a keypad code or temporary card that can be time-limited to a scheduled delivery window, rather than issuing permanent credentials to people who aren't regular staff. Can access logs actually help reduce stock shrinkage? They help identify who was in the stock area and when, which supports investigation when shrinkage occurs -- combined with inventory reconciliation and CCTV, it's part of a layered approach rather than a single fix. Does this work for a site without existing networking infrastructure? Yes -- networking and structured cabling can be installed as part of the same project if it doesn't already exist. ## Plan security for your warehouse Free site survey -- loading bays, stock areas and perimeter planned around your actual traffic patterns.
