Every system your site needs
From the front gate to the back fence line, installed and supported by one team.
Security cameras
Long-range, PTZ and multi-sensor cameras for yards, fence lines, loading docks and gates, with plate recognition. Remote video monitoring through our monitoring partner can watch yards, gates and docks live, 24/7.
See security camerasAccess control
Gates, overhead doors, man doors and offices on one system, with schedules by shift.
See access controlVideo intercom
Gate intercoms so drivers and contractors can call in and be let through remotely.

Large buildings split into zones, with video verification to cut down on false alarms.

Why warehouses and industrial sites need each system
What each system solves, and why it’s worth having.
Access control
Gates, overhead doors and man doors on one access system, scheduled by shift, with a log of every opening. Contractors get access only when and where they need it.
More about access controlSecurity cameras
Long-range, PTZ and multi-sensor cameras with smart detection cover yards, fence lines and loading docks at night, when most theft happens, and plate recognition logs every vehicle. Remote video monitoring through our monitoring partner can watch yards, gates and docks live, 24/7.
More about security camerasVideo intercom
Gate intercoms let drivers and contractors call in and be let through remotely, so nobody has to walk out to the gate in the middle of winter.
More about video intercomParcel lockers
Parts and tool lockers let crews pick up what they need after hours without unlocking the whole building.
More about parcel lockersIntrusion alarms
Large buildings need alarms split into zones, with video verification so a real break-in gets a fast response and a false alarm doesn’t.
More about intrusion alarmsNetworks
Distant gates, poles and outbuildings need fibre or wireless links to stay connected, and large warehouses need Wi-Fi that actually reaches the back corner.
More about networksBuilt for large properties
Big sites need coverage planned for distance, darkness and traffic.
Warehouses and distribution
Loading docks, overhead doors and truck traffic covered, with every entry logged.
Manufacturing and industrial plants
Access by area and shift, cameras on production and storage, and alarms after hours.
Equipment, storage and contractor yards
Perimeter cameras that see at night, gate control, and plate recognition at the entrance.
Multi-building sites
Fibre and wireless links that tie every building, gate and camera into one system.
Problems we solve on industrial sites
The issues site managers and owners call us about.
- Theft from yards and fenced lots overnight
- Trucks and contractors coming and going with no record
- Cameras that can’t see across a big yard at night
- Gates left open or tailgated
- Overhead doors left open after shifts
- Weak network coverage across large buildings
- False alarms on big sites with lots of zones
How a project works
Planned for distance, darkness and a site that never stops.
- 1Site walk
We walk the property by day and plan for night, measuring distances and finding power and network paths.
- 2Design and quote
You get a camera layout with coverage distances, a gate and door plan, and network links, with a written quote.
- 3Install around operations
We schedule work around your shifts and traffic so the site keeps running.
- 4Training
We show your team how to manage access, review footage and search plates.
- 5Ongoing support
Service plans, repairs and expansions as the site grows.
Inherited a site with an old system?
We can take over, repair and document systems left behind by previous providers, so you know exactly what the building has.

“Luke and the team at Hightower are outstanding. Their dedication to delivering flawless results on time and within budget is unparalleled. … Their ability to handle large, complex projects under tight deadlines is just one of the many reasons I highly recommend this team.”
Stuck with a system nobody will fix?
We repair and take over cameras, access control, intercoms and alarms installed by other companies, when your current provider has fallen short.
Monitored fences for yards and industrial sites
Most yard theft starts at the fence. Sensors on the fence detect climbing and cutting and report the exact zone, and an electric deterrent fence warns people off before they reach the equipment, fuel or copper. How monitored fences work.
- Fence sensors that detect climbing and cutting, by zone
- Electric deterrent fences with warning signs
- Cameras, lights and a siren triggered at the zone
- Alerts to your phone, off-grid on solar where there’s no power

Industrial security questions
Can cameras see across a large yard at night?
Yes. We use long-range cameras with built-in infrared and low-light performance, plus PTZ and multi-sensor cameras, and plan placement so coverage holds up after dark.
Can you control gates and overhead doors?
Yes. Gates, overhead doors and man doors can all run on the same access control system, with schedules by shift and a log of every opening.
How do you connect cameras far from the building?
We run fibre to distant poles, gates and buildings, or use wireless links where trenching cable isn’t practical.
Can trucks be logged automatically at the gate?
Yes. License plate recognition cameras read plates as vehicles arrive, keep a searchable log, and can alert you to plates you’re watching for.
Can you work around our shifts?
Yes. We plan installs around your operations, traffic and safety requirements.
Can you take over our existing system?
Yes. We take over, repair and upgrade systems installed by other companies, and document everything on the site.
Can you add remote video monitoring to our yard or industrial site?
Yes. We set up remote video monitoring on new or existing cameras for warehouses, yards and industrial sites. A monitoring team watches alerts 24/7, warns people off through speakers and calls police or your contact when it’s a real threat.
Can you install monitored or electric fences around our yard?
Yes. We add fence sensors that detect climbing and cutting by zone, and electric deterrent fences with warning signs, tied to your cameras, lights and alarm so you get an alert with video.
