Fire and security systems for transport and logistics sites

Transport and logistics facilities often have large perimeters, multiple access points, high volumes of vehicle movement and valuable goods moving through the site every day.

This creates practical challenges around theft prevention, unauthorised access, load movement, staff safety, visitor control, fire protection and business continuity.

ClearView helps operators manage these risks with integrated fire and security systems designed around how each site works. The aim is not just to secure the premises, but to help operations run safely, efficiently and with less disruption.

Protecting vehicles, goods and site infrastructure

Logistics and transport businesses often need to protect a wide range of assets, from vehicles, trailers and goods to loading bays, fuel stores, offices, warehouses and perimeter areas.

A well-designed security system helps deter intruders, detect suspicious activity early and provide a clear record when incidents need to be reviewed.

For larger or more complex sites, [CCTV systems] can help teams monitor areas that are difficult to cover manually. This is especially valuable for depots, ports, terminals and logistics hubs where activity may continue across long hours or around the clock.

Managing access and vehicle movement

Access control systems, gates, barriers, intercoms and CCTV can help manage staff, visitors, contractors, drivers and authorised vehicles without creating unnecessary friction for day-to-day operations.

For high-traffic sites, these systems can support safer vehicle movement, better site visibility and clearer accountability across entrances, loading areas, yards, terminals and restricted zones.

Where required, gates and barriers can also be integrated with CCTV and access control to create a more complete view of site activity.

CCTV, analytics and perimeter protection

CCTV plays an important role in transport and logistics environments because many sites cover large areas and operate across multiple zones.

ClearView can design CCTV systems to monitor entrances, exits, loading bays, vehicle routes, passenger areas, warehouses, storage yards, perimeter fencing and control points.

For high-risk or high-value environments, video analytics and perimeter detection can add another layer of protection. These systems can help identify unusual movement, intrusion attempts or activity in restricted areas, allowing teams to respond quickly and with better information.

This type of joined-up approach is especially useful where security teams need clear visibility across a large or complex site.

Fire safety for transport and logistics facilities

Fire safety is essential across transport and logistics sites, particularly where facilities include warehouses, plant rooms, fuel areas, vehicle bays, offices, passenger areas or large volumes of stored goods.

ClearView provides fire alarm systems, fire extinguishers, emergency lighting and passive fire protection to help protect people, property and operations.

A suitable fire safety strategy should consider how the site is used, where people work, how goods are stored and how quickly staff, drivers, visitors or passengers may need to evacuate.

Ongoing testing and maintenance are also essential to ensure systems remain reliable, compliant and ready to perform when needed.

automatically identifies and tracks intruders

The EuroTunnel System included:

  • IP CCTV – Over 300 CCTV cameras, many with “alarm” activation triggered from sensors on security fencing working in conjunction with intelligent video analytics.

  • Video Analytics technology automatically identifies and tracks intruders, threats, and incidents whilst maintaining a dramatically low false alarm rate.

  • Perimeter Intruder Detection Systems – transmit electric pulses along a sensor line attached to the fence. When an intrusion attempt is detected it creates an alarm that can alert the main control room and automatically zooms a camera to the point of detection.

  • Control rooms – designed and installed by ClearView at several locations around the terminals
