Building supply centers operate in one of the highest-risk commercial security environments. Large outdoor lumber yards, high-value construction materials, continuous truck traffi c, and after-hours exposure make these facilities prime targets for theft, vandalism, and unauthorized access.

Traditional CCTV camera systems only record incidents after losses occur. On-site security guards are expensive, inconsistent, and diffi cult to scale across large outdoor properties.

Live video monitoring for building supply centers delivers proactive, real-time security that actively prevents theft and damage—rather than documenting it after the fact.

Building supply stores, construction supply yards, and lumber distributors face security risks that standard retail security solutions cannot address.

Common challenges include:

● Large outdoor inventory yards with limited visibility
● Blind spots caused by stacked lumber, pallets, and materials
● High theft risk of copper, tools, heavy equipment, and power equipment
● Uncontrolled delivery truck access and after-hours entry points
● Trespassing, vandalism, and property damage after closing hours
● Inability to identify suspicious behavior in real time

Without active video monitoring, these vulnerabilities lead to inventory shrinkage, operational disruptions, employee safety risks, and increased insurance claims.
