Security systems for warehouses and distribution centers
Docks, yards, trailers and inventory that changes hands all day. Turner Security plans cameras, door access, alarms and live monitoring around how your warehouse actually runs, from offices in Smyrna and Chattanooga.
Most warehouses need four things working together: cameras on docks, yards and aisles, access control on every exterior and restricted door, an intrusion alarm for after hours, and someone watching when the building is empty. Turner Security designs and installs all four for warehouses and distribution centers in Middle Tennessee and the Chattanooga area.
Because the site changes through the day, the plan follows the work: trucks in and out, shifts changing, vendors and drivers on site. Live video monitoring with talk-down can cover the yard and fence line overnight, and AI video analytics can flag loitering or a vehicle where it should not be.

What we set up
Security that keeps up with the dock schedule
Every warehouse is different. These are the parts we plan, install and service most often.
Dock and yard cameras
Cameras on dock doors, trailers, staging lanes and the yard, placed so you can see who loaded what and when.
Door and gate access
Card, fob or phone access on exterior doors, dock man doors, cages and vehicle gates, with a record of every entry.
Overnight live monitoring
Agents watch the yard and fence line after hours, speak through on-site speakers to stop trespassers and escalate when needed.
AI video analytics
Alerts for people loitering, a vehicle in the wrong place or time, and other events you define, on most existing cameras.
Intrusion alarms
Door contacts and motion detection that arm after the last shift and alert monitoring the moment someone gets in.
Recording and retention
Recorders and storage sized so footage is still there when a claim or shortage shows up weeks later.
Why it matters
Most warehouse losses happen in the gaps
Open dock doors, shared codes, propped man doors and dark corners of the yard are where trouble starts. When something goes missing, the question is always the same: who was there, and when?
A planned system answers that. Doors tied to people, cameras on the places product moves, and video that is watched after hours instead of just recorded.

Common questions
Questions we hear a lot
How much does a warehouse security system cost?
Cost depends on the size of the building and yard, the number of cameras and doors, and whether you add live monitoring. We start with a free assessment and give you a written proposal with a clear price before any work starts.
Can live video monitoring replace a security guard at my warehouse?
For many sites it can replace or reduce guard hours. Monitoring agents watch your cameras, speak through speakers to warn trespassers and call the right people when something needs a response. We look at your site and tell you honestly where it fits.
Can you add AI analytics to the cameras we already have?
In most cases, yes. AI video analytics on the Eagle Eye platform can be added to most existing camera systems, so you can get alerts like loitering or a vehicle in a restricted area without replacing every camera.
Can we control who uses each dock door?
Yes. Access control can be set up on man doors, cages, offices and vehicle gates so each person only gets in where and when they should, and every entry is logged.
Do you cover warehouses outside Nashville and Chattanooga?
Our offices are in Smyrna and Chattanooga and we serve Middle Tennessee, the Chattanooga area and North Georgia. For companies with sites in other states, we also run national multi-site programs.
Do we have to sign a long-term contract?
No. Turner Security does not require long-term agreements on security or monitoring. We plan to keep your business by doing good work.
TPQVO has been with Turner Security for many many years and we have nothing but good things to say about them. The staff is great and very accessible if you need someone. We highly recommend this company.
