What security cameras does a restaurant need?

Most restaurants need cameras on the registers and front counter, the dining room, the kitchen and back door, the stock and cooler areas, and the parking lot, plus an intrusion alarm for after close. Turner Security designs and installs restaurant and hospitality security in Middle Tennessee and the Chattanooga area, and you can view live and recorded video from your phone.

Access control on back doors, offices and liquor or stock rooms shows who went in and when. Hotels add access for staff areas and common spaces, and fire alarm systems are planned and serviced for every building.

What we set up

See your business when you're not there

We plan coverage around your floor, your shifts and your busiest problem spots.

Register and floor cameras

Clear video of the counter, registers, dining room and entrances to settle disputes and review incidents.

Kitchen and back of house

Coverage of the kitchen line, back door, coolers and stock rooms where most shrink happens.

Back door and stock room access

Cards, fobs or phones on back doors, offices and liquor rooms, with a record of every entry.

After-close alarms

Intrusion alarms that arm at close and alert monitoring the moment a door or window is opened.

Fire alarm systems

Detection, notification, inspection and service for restaurants, bars and hotels.

Multi-location viewing

Check cameras at every location from one app, with the same setup at each site.

Why it matters

Most problems happen when the owner isn't there

Late closes, early deliveries and busy shifts are when cash, stock and equipment are at the most risk. Without video and door records, you are left guessing.

A planned system lets you check in from anywhere, review exactly what happened and give your managers a clear record.

  • Check every location from your phone
  • Know who opened the back door
  • Alarms armed every night
  • Fire alarms inspected and serviced

Common questions

Questions we hear a lot

How many cameras does a restaurant need?

It depends on the layout. Most restaurants cover the registers, dining room, entrances, kitchen, back door, stock areas and parking. We plan the count during a free assessment so every area that matters is covered without paying for cameras you do not need.

Can I watch my restaurant cameras from my phone?

Yes. The systems we install let you view live and recorded video from a phone, tablet or computer, including several locations in one app.

Do you install fire alarms for restaurants?

Yes. Turner Security plans, installs, inspects and services commercial fire alarm systems for restaurants, bars and hotels.

Can access control show who opened the back door?

Yes. With access control on back doors, offices and stock rooms, every entry is logged by person and time, and it can be paired with camera footage.

Can you service the cameras we already have?

In many cases, yes. We review your existing cameras and recorder and tell you what can stay, what can be added to and what should be replaced.

Do we have to sign a long-term contract?

No. Turner Security does not require long-term agreements on security or monitoring.
