Sika UK Dunstable Distribution Centre CCTV System

Sika UK commissioned AIS Security to implement a state-of-the-art CCTV system at their 300,000 sq. ft warehouse complex in Dunstable. 

AIS has a wealth of experience designing, installing, and maintaining bespoke factory and warehouse CCTV systems that address the specific needs and challenges of extensive, muti building facilities.

Sika UK Dunstable Warehouse CCTV System Requirements

After an initial consultation with the key personnel at the site, we established a list of key objectives that the new system needed to include: 

Production / Logistics Monitoring – this is a large facility with operations spread out over multiple buildings. The office building stands apart from the warehousing area, causing a disconnect between logistics and administration.   A CCTV system was required to give the management team a clear oversight of logistical and production operations in all critical areas of the site. 

Improve site safety – CCTV was required to ensure adherence to health and safety policies by all people on-site and help to identify potential accident blackspots.  This is a busy site, with 1000’s of pallet movements taking place monthly and 100’s of lorries entering/leaving the area.

Monitoring Goods In / Out – due to previous issues with incorrect/damaged deliveries, there was a requirement to closely monitor all goods in/out of the site.  

Improve external security – the new system was required to provide evidential quality footage of key exterior areas in all lighting conditions.

Improve theft deterrent – whilst not a significant problem at the site; the management team wanted to ensure that any potential theft is deterred (especially in areas where smaller, higher value items are stored).

Installation of Security Control Room – a full specification security control room needed to be designed and installed, allowing the site’s 24/7 security team to monitor and control all activity on the site.

CCTV System Specification

Working closely with the team at Sika UK, AIS carried out a detailed survey during which we identified a comprehensive list of their requirements, we identified areas of the site of particular interest, we identified the best locations for the cameras and switches etc. We then determined the best CCTV cameras for each position to ensure the best possible result.    

The resulting system design comprised of the following equipment:

1 x 64 channel Network Video Recorders
57 x 8MP cameras
5 x 24 port POE switches

The installed system allows up to 64 cameras to be recorded simultaneously (the system will record 28+ days before overwriting).  All AIS installed systems are network-enabled, enabling key staff with appropriate password permissions to access footage from any location with a network connection. The CCTV system was configured with multiple monitoring stations, allowing key personnel to have a customised view of the camera feeds relevant to them.

The system allows for all aspects of the facility to be monitored off-site.

The cameras in this installation utilise the very latest 4K image quality (8 Megapixels).  They have a wide dynamic range, providing excellent image quality across various lighting conditions. The cameras have inbuilt IR and can see in the dark up to 40M.  The external cameras can record at 4K in full colour at night.  

In addition to the excellent image quality, the cameras have built-in intruder analytics with face capture, line crossing detection, intrusion detection, region entrance detection, and region exiting detection.  This ensures that the system can be used to notify a monitoring company of any potential intruders outside of regular business hours.

We designed and installed a primary monitoring station/control room with the focal point being a video wall allowing all camera feeds to display simultaneously and for scenes of interest to display on a primary viewing screen at the touch of a button.  We also installed a secondary monitoring station at the company’s offices in Welwyn Garden City.

Installation

Before the commencement of the installation, AIS carried out a RAMS and submitted all relevant documentation (insurance, IPAF, Enhanced DBS certificates etc.).   In this instance, AIS and Sika prepared a detailed installation schedule to minimise disruption at the site.

In addition to installing the core CCTV system, AIS made improvements to the site’s fibre optic network infrastructure, allowing the system to run across multiple buildings.

Every member of our installation team has up to date Enhanced DBS background checks.

Immediate Tangible Results

The system had an immediate positive impact enabling the monitoring of operations both on and off-site.  The 4K image quality has been used to check goods entering and leaving the facility retrospectively.

The feedback from all interested parties at the site has been overwhelmingly positive.
