Shift changes, contractors, restricted production areas and expensive equipment. Turner Security plans cameras, access control, alarms and fire protection for plants across Middle Tennessee and the Chattanooga area.
What security systems do manufacturing plants use?
Manufacturing plants typically combine security cameras on entrances, production lines, loading areas and parking, access control on exterior and restricted doors, intrusion alarms, and a fire alarm system that is inspected and maintained. Turner Security installs and services these systems for plants in Middle Tennessee and the Chattanooga area.
Video can also help operations. AI video analytics can watch for events you define, such as a conveyor count that does not match or a group gathering in an area longer than a set time, and send an alert.

What we set up
Security planned around production
We plan the system around your shifts, your floor and the people who come and go.
Access by shift and area
Give each employee, contractor and vendor access to the doors they need, during the hours they work, and nothing more.
Floor and perimeter cameras
Coverage of entrances, production areas, loading, parking and fence lines, viewable from a phone or computer.
Operational video alerts
AI video analytics can flag events like mismatched conveyor counts or people gathering in restricted areas.
Fire alarm systems
Detection, notification, inspection and service planned around the building and any existing system.
Restricted areas
Lock down tool cribs, server rooms, chemical storage and finished goods with their own access rules.
After-hours monitoring
Live video monitoring with talk-down for lots, yards and the perimeter when the plant is idle.
Why it matters
A plant has too many doors to manage with keys
Plants have high headcount, rotating shifts and a steady stream of contractors. Keys and shared codes make it impossible to know who can get in where.
Tying doors to people and pairing door events with video gives you a clear record for safety reviews, theft questions and insurance claims.

Common questions
Questions we hear a lot
How much does a security system for a manufacturing plant cost?
It depends on the size of the facility, the number of doors and cameras, and whether you add fire protection or monitoring. We do a free assessment first and give you a written proposal with a clear price.
Can access control work by shift?
Yes. Schedules can be set by person, group or door, so first shift, second shift, contractors and vendors each get in only during their hours.
Can cameras help with operations, not just security?
Yes. AI video analytics can be set to alert on events you define, such as conveyor counts that do not match or people in an area longer than a set time. It runs on most existing camera systems.
Do you handle fire alarms for plants?
Yes. Turner Security plans, installs, inspects and services commercial fire alarm systems, and we can review an existing or inherited system before recommending changes.
Who supports the network the cameras run on?
TechCore, our sister company, handles business networking, servers and IT. Same owners, same offices, so the security system and the network are supported by one team.
Can you work with the equipment we already have?
In many cases, yes. We review your existing cameras, recorders, door hardware and panels and tell you what can stay, what can be added to and what needs replacing.
Richard really helped us out when we had issues with our fire monitoring at our box plant.
