Definition & Explanation

In a typical distribution center, hundreds of pallets move daily through picking, packing, and dispatch zones. CCTV systems record around the clock to document theft incidents, optimize workflow efficiency, and establish facts in accident investigations. Modern deployments combine fixed dome cameras, varifocal units, and motion-triggered PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) systems. Video management software enables intelligent scheduling (high-frequency recording during peak hours, lower rates off-peak), metadata tagging, and rapid archive retrieval by timestamp or zone. Footage serves as objective evidence in insurance claims, disciplinary proceedings, and criminal investigations.
