Vulnerability Reality

Manual Guard Shacks & Outdated Cameras Leak Revenue. Here’s What We Fix.

Relying on security guards with clipboards and standard 1080p cameras creates massive logistics bottlenecks, driver detention fees, and unresolvable cargo shortage disputes.

Common Yard & Facility Vulnerabilities

  • Gate Congestion & Costly Detention: Manual paperwork entry takes 4 to 8 minutes per truck, backing up convoys onto city roads and racking up thousands in carrier detention claims.
  • Unsubstantiated Cargo Shortage Claims: Lacking timestamped video of unbroken trailer bolt seals leaves 3PLs liable when carriers claim pallets were missing upon dock arrival.
  • High-Bay Aisle Blind Spots: Conventional cameras cannot see past 40-foot racking uprights, leaving dead zones where internal shrinkage and unreported forklift collisions occur.
  • Unmanaged Terminated Employee Badges: Without direct integration between physical card readers and HRIS, terminated staff retain physical facility access for days or weeks.

The QueryTel Automated Security Architecture

  • Sub-25s Automated LPR Gates: Dual optical/IR cameras capture tractor plates and 53ft chassis numbers at 25 km/h, matching WMS appointments and opening barrier arms automatically.
  • High-Definition Dock Seal Auditing: 4K cameras capture bolt seal numbers, trailer interior conditions, and loading timestamps—indexed directly to the BOL number for instant claim defense.
  • 360° Multi-Sensor Panoramic Cameras: High-altitude multi-imager cameras cover entire cross-aisles and staging yards, cutting total required camera counts by 40% while eliminating blind spots.
  • Biometric Access & HRIS Auto-Sync: Facial recognition and badge turnstiles automatically revoke credentials the exact second an employee is marked offboarded in PayClock or BambooHR.

Security Systems Architecture

LPR Gate Hardware, AI Video Analytics & Access Controls

Engineered to perform in Canadian sub-zero winters, high-vibration truck lanes, and demanding industrial logistics yards.

  • • 2-way SIP VoIP intercom with noise-canceling mics
  • • High-speed thermal visitor pass & door ticket printer

Dock Door Seal Verification Cameras

Ultra-high-definition 4K cameras focused on trailer rear doors. Automatically triggers recording when trailer sensors engage, capturing bolt seal integrity and cargo load density for shipping claims defense.

  • • Auto-indexing video clips to BOL numbers in WMS
  • • Motion-activated high-CRI white light illuminators
  • • Encrypted cloud backup for 90+ day claim disputes

360° Multi-Sensor Panoramic CCTV

Multi-directional four-sensor 32-megapixel cameras mounted on high-bay ceilings and yard light poles. Replaces up to four individual cameras with a single Ethernet drop while eliminating blind spots.

  • • Continuous 360-degree high-definition coverage
  • • Smart H.265+ compression reduces storage costs
  • • Seamless zoom into any aisle cross-intersection

Biometrics & HRIS Auto-Sync

High-throughput biometric facial recognition readers and optical turnstiles for warehouse pedestrian entry. Automatically synchronizes active personnel rosters with PayClock, BambooHR, and Active Directory.

  • • 0.3-second facial verification through PPE masks
  • • Instant badge revocation upon HR offboarding
  • • C-TPAT & PIP compliant audit trails for bonded areas

Edge AI Safety & Analytics

On-premise computer vision servers process video in real-time. Instantly alerts operations supervisors to safety violations, missing hi-vis vests, forklift-pedestrian proximity breaches, and unauthorized yard loitering.

  • • Automated safety incident heatmaps & logging
  • • Perimeter intrusion detection with horn/strobe tie-ins
  • • Integrated into QueryTel 24/7 Canadian SOC

Facility Security FAQ

Warehouse Surveillance & Gate Automation FAQ

Everything Canadian logistics leaders need to know about gate throughput, LPR accuracy, and C-TPAT compliance.

Our industrial LPR systems achieve over 99.2% capture accuracy in severe Canadian weather conditions (blizzards, freezing rain, salt-covered plates, and pitch-black night operations). We achieve this by deploying specialized dual-sensor optical/infrared LPR cameras with anti-glare pulsed IR illuminators, heated optical glass housings to prevent snow accumulation, and deep learning OCR models trained specifically on Canadian provincial and US state plate fonts.
When an incoming truck pulls up to the gate, the LPR camera reads both the tractor plate and the 53-foot trailer chassis number. The system queries your YMS/WMS (e.g., Manhattan, Blue Yonder, SAP EWM) via REST API to match scheduled purchase orders or pickup appointments. The driver kiosk validates the driver's phone number and Bill of Lading (BOL), prints a badge with the assigned dock door number, and triggers the motorized barrier arm to open—all in under 25 seconds with zero guard interaction.
QueryTel positions dedicated 4K high-resolution cameras directly above and flanking each dock door. When a trailer backs in, the cameras automatically capture the trailer number, the intact bolt seal number, the interior condition prior to loading/unloading, and the final seal application upon departure. High-definition video clips are automatically indexed to the specific BOL number in your WMS, providing indisputable visual proof that defeats bogus carrier shortage claims.
Our touchscreen driver kiosks support multi-language workflows (English, French, Punjabi, and Spanish). If an unregistered carrier arrives or appointment credentials fail validation, the kiosk automatically establishes an HD two-way SIP VoIP intercom call directly to your warehouse dispatch desk or security operations center (SOC). Dispatchers can view the driver on live video, inspect paperwork through the document camera, and remotely override the barrier arm if approved.
Yes. Our security architectures are engineered to meet and exceed Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) and Canada Border Services Agency Partners in Protection (PIP) physical security standards. This includes mandatory 90+ day encrypted video retention, biometric two-factor entry for bonded storage zones, tamper-proof perimeter detection, and automated audit logs synchronized with your HRIS for instant badge revocation upon employee termination.
