Warehouses and distribution centers keep the supply chain moving, but they also attract risk. These facilities store large volumes of high-value goods, rely on expensive equipment, and operate on tight deadlines. That combination makes them prime targets for theft, fire, and other security challenges. Protecting your operation requires more than a few cameras or a keypad alarm. It takes a layered security strategy that covers every vulnerability without slowing down your workflow.
Direct Alarm helps warehouse operators across Georgia safeguard their facilities with integrated systems designed for complex environments. By combining video surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, fire protection, and 24/7 monitoring, we deliver protection that matches the speed and scale of modern distribution.
Why Layered Security Matters
A single system on its own can only do so much. Cameras may capture a break-in, but they cannot stop it. An access card system may regulate employee entry, but it will not protect against a fire hazard. When you rely on disconnected pieces of security, you create gaps. A layered approach closes those gaps by linking all systems together, giving you clear visibility and fast response when it matters most.
Warehouses face threats on multiple fronts. Loading docks and side doors are natural entry points for intruders. Stockrooms and shipping zones are vulnerable to both external theft and internal loss. Fire hazards range from overloaded circuits to improper storage. High turnover and rotating shifts increase the chance of unauthorized access. Layered security accounts for these risks by building multiple lines of defense.

Smart Video Surveillance
Traditional CCTV systems provide limited value because they only help after an incident. Direct Alarm installs high-definition cameras with smart analytics that detect motion, unusual behavior, or perimeter breaches in real time. Instead of endless footage, you get alerts that matter. Our systems can monitor employee activity in sensitive areas, verify deliveries at docks, and capture license plates of vehicles entering your yard. With remote access, managers can check live or recorded video anytime from a mobile device.
Access Control for Critical Zones
Not every employee needs access to every part of your warehouse. Offices, cash-handling rooms, and restricted storage should never be left open to all. Direct Alarm’s access control solutions let you assign permissions by role, time of day, or entry point. You gain a full audit trail of who entered, when, and for how long. This level of visibility strengthens accountability and reduces both internal and external threats.
Intrusion and Perimeter Defense
After hours, warehouses are particularly vulnerable. Criminals know that a break-in at night gives them more time before discovery. Direct Alarm installs intrusion systems that protect every point of entry, including doors, windows, and fenced perimeters. Motion sensors and glass-break detectors add another layer of coverage, while professional monitoring ensures that any alarm triggers immediate response.
Fire and Life Safety Protection
Theft is only part of the risk. Fires can cause catastrophic losses in a matter of minutes. Direct Alarm provides monitored fire alarms with smoke, heat, and CO detection, ensuring fast notification to both your staff and local emergency services. Early detection not only protects inventory and equipment, it also safeguards employees who may be working late shifts.
Integration for Full Control
One of the biggest advantages of a layered system is integration. Direct Alarm brings all your security measures together into a single platform. From a unified dashboard, you can review access logs, check video feeds, and monitor alarm statuses. Real-time updates keep you informed, and mobile access ensures you can manage your system from anywhere. With everything working together, there are no blind spots.
Local Support You Can Rely On
