Tank farms, yards, loading racks and restricted storage spread across large sites. Turner Security protects chemical and industrial distribution facilities with perimeter cameras, live monitoring, access control and fire protection.
How do chemical distributors secure their facilities?
Chemical and industrial distributors usually secure their facilities with perimeter and yard cameras, controlled gates and doors, intrusion alarms, fire alarm systems and monitoring after hours. Live video monitoring with talk-down lets trained agents watch the site, warn trespassers through on-site speakers and escalate, which can replace or reduce on-site guards.
Turner Security has done this at national scale. A national chemical distributor with 137 locations across the US and Canada replaced security guards with live video monitoring from Turner Security and saved over $2 million.

What we set up
Security for large, high-risk sites
We plan around the perimeter, the product and the people allowed near it.
Perimeter and yard cameras
Coverage of fence lines, gates, yards, tank and loading areas, placed for usable video day and night.
Live monitoring with talk-down
Agents watch the site, speak through on-site speakers to stop trespassers and follow your escalation plan.
Restricted storage access
Limit who can open storage, labs and control rooms, with schedules and a record of every entry.
Vehicle and plate alerts
License plate recognition and alerts for a specific vehicle passing in a set time window and direction.
Fire alarm systems
Detection, notification, inspection and service planned around the building and any existing system.
Multi-site programs
One standard for every location, with centralized live monitoring and local service.
Why it matters
Guards can't watch the whole fence at once
Large industrial sites have long fence lines and many places to get in. A guard on patrol can only be in one spot, and guard costs add up across many locations.
Live video monitoring watches every camera at once and responds right away. For one national chemical distributor, that change replaced guards across 137 locations and saved over $2 million.

Common questions
Questions we hear a lot
Can live video monitoring replace security guards at an industrial site?
For many sites it can replace or reduce guard coverage. One national chemical distributor replaced security guards with Turner Security live video monitoring across 137 locations and saved over $2 million. We review your site and tell you honestly where monitoring fits.
How does live talk-down work?
Monitoring agents watch your cameras during the hours you choose. When someone is on site who should not be, the agent speaks to them through an on-site speaker and, if needed, follows your escalation plan, including calling police.
Can you use the cameras we already have?
In many cases, yes. We review your existing cameras and recorders for monitoring readiness, and AI video analytics can be added to most existing camera systems.
Can you secure sites in other states?
Yes. Turner Security runs national programs for multi-site customers, with centralized live monitoring and consistent standards at every location.
Do you install fire alarm systems for industrial buildings?
Yes. We plan, install, inspect and service commercial fire alarm systems and can review an existing or inherited system before recommending changes.
Can access to chemical storage be restricted?
Yes. Access control can limit storage rooms, labs and control rooms to specific people and times, and every entry is logged and can be paired with video.
