Cargo theft remains one of the most persistent threats to supply chain integrity across the logistics sector. High-value goods are frequently vulnerable during transitional periods—at loading docks, parking bays, and staging areas—especially when visibility is limited and security relies on legacy surveillance systems. Implementing Real-Time 5G Surveillance in Logistics Centers offers a powerful solution to enhance monitoring and deter theft in these critical zones.
This use case explores how the CC1005G 5G-enabled Security Surveillance 5G Camera was strategically deployed by a national logistics company to eliminate blind spots, enable instant threat detection, and drastically reduce theft and loss incidents—all without requiring heavy infrastructure overhauls.
The security challenge in Real-Time 5G surveillance in logistics centers
In today’s fast-paced, high-volume supply chain environment, logistics centres serve as the nerve centres of global trade. These sprawling distribution hubs—often covering more than 500,000 sq. ft.—must manage not only the flow of goods but also ensure the security of high-value inventory 24/7. Yet, despite their operational sophistication, security systems in these facilities are frequently outdated, siloed, or simply unable to adapt to the demands of modern logistics.
Unique security vulnerabilities in logistics centers:
Vast Surveillance Zones
Logistics facilities span multiple zones—dock areas, storage racks, trailer yards, perimeter fences, and employee access points. Covering these diverse zones using conventional CCTV cameras creates blind spots and leaves critical areas under-monitored, especially during non-peak hours.
Constantly Changing Layouts
Unlike static office environments, logistics centres are in constant motion. Storage configurations shift with demand. Trailer positions change hourly. Forklift routes, temporary containers, and seasonal inventory overflow all alter the physical landscape. Static-wired surveillance infrastructure can’t keep up with this fluidity.
Low-Light, High-Risk Conditions
A significant portion of cargo theft occurs during low-visibility conditions—overnight shifts, early morning hours, or in dimly lit areas such as rear access doors or container yards. Standard CCTV solutions without enhanced night vision are often useless during these critical windows.
Delayed Detection and Response
Many facilities rely on passive surveillance—footage is recorded but not monitored in real time. Security teams review footage only after an incident is reported, resulting in delayed responses and minimal chances of catching perpetrators in the act. This reactive approach is a major weakness exploited by organized theft rings.
Rigid and Costly Infrastructure
Wired surveillance systems are labour-intensive to install, expensive to scale, and inflexible. Running new cables or repositioning cameras in response to a new threat or layout change can take days or even weeks—leaving security gaps in the meantime. This lack of agility adds both operational and financial strain.
A case in point: the client’s security crisis
A U.S.-based third-party logistics provider (3PL) managing a 600,000 sq. ft. distribution centre experienced a surge in security incidents, ranging from minor cargo tampering to full-scale trailer theft. Their existing CCTV system—comprising fixed, low-resolution cameras hardwired to a central DVR—failed to meet the growing security demands of their operations.
The problems were systemic:
- Blind spots in loading docks and rear trailer yards enabled unauthorized access without detection.
- Footage review lag meant incidents were often discovered hours later, making real-time intervention impossible.
- No mobile access for supervisors or security leads meant critical information wasn’t accessible when needed most.
- Outdated cameras lacked infrared or low-light capabilities, rendering night footage nearly unusable.
- Rising theft losses, amounting to tens of thousands of dollars monthly, went largely unresolved.
Even more troubling was the indirect impact on business:
- Insurance premiums increased due to repeated claims and inadequate security evidence.
- A major retail client issued a compliance warning, citing concerns over supply chain vulnerability.
- Employee morale declined as internal security checks grew more punitive than preventive.
Beyond tech: An operational wake-up call
While the failure of traditional surveillance technology was a visible pain point, the root issue ran deeper. The company’s security posture was reactive, not proactive. Their systems were designed to record, not respond. Security protocols lagged behind the pace of operations. And without real-time intelligence, every theft was simply a postmortem investigation.
This misalignment between logistics agility and static security created a dangerous vulnerability—a gap that modern threats were exploiting with precision.
What the client needed wasn’t just better cameras. They needed a fundamental shift in how security was embedded into their operations—mobile, intelligent, responsive, and scalable. A solution that could deliver real-time visibility and actionable insights across the entire facility, without the constraints of physical wiring or static deployment.
