Warehouse attendance that covers the loading bay, not just the office door

Warehouse attendance breaks in a specific way: the attendance machine is at the office entrance, but the people you most need to track come and go through loading bays and yard gates all day. PGAK marks warehouse attendance on the cameras already covering those openings, so pickers, loaders and contract crews are logged where they actually walk — and the same cameras keep watching your stock.

Sound familiar?

Loaders enter through the bay, never past the office reader, so the log is fiction.
Third-party logistics crews change constantly and are never enrolled in time.
Night shift has nobody supervising the gate at all.
You cannot reconcile who was on site against a shrinkage event.
Two systems — one for attendance, one for cameras — and neither talks to the other.

Why one reader cannot cover a warehouse

A warehouse is not one door. It is an office entrance, two or three loading bays, a yard gate and often a separate driver entrance — each with different traffic and different people. Contact hardware forces you to choose which of them you pay to instrument.

The bays are where the workforce is

Pickers and loaders spend their day at the dock. A reader at reception measures the people least relevant to your operation.

3PL and casual crews churn weekly

By the time a temporary crew is enrolled on a machine, the contract has moved on.

Night shift has no supervision

The hours you most need an objective record are the hours nobody is watching the gate.

One estate for attendance and shrinkage

The cameras that log attendance are the cameras watching stock movement. That overlap is the real advantage: when a discrepancy shows up in the morning, you can line up who was on site against what the bay camera saw, in the same system.

Every opening becomes a check-in point

Bay, yard gate, office door — any camera with a usable view can log attendance.

Recognition at walking pace

Nobody stops a trolley to punch in. Several people entering together are each logged separately.

Boundary alerts on the same feeds

After-hours movement in the yard raises an alert on the same estate, so one subscription does both jobs.

Honest constraints for a warehouse

Bay cameras are often mounted high and angled for vehicles, which is excellent for loading oversight and poor for face recognition. Some repositioning is usually needed, and we identify exactly which cameras qualify during the free feasibility check. High-vis clothing and helmets are not a problem; anything covering the face is.

What to check before deployment

Camera and recorder streams: Confirm RTSP access or ONVIF discovery, stream stability and the views that matter. Do not send camera passwords in the enquiry form.
On-site processing: Ask which processing device is needed, how it is sized, what runs locally and what information leaves the site.
Attendance acceptance: Test real entrance conditions and enrolled staff with consent. Agree how missed or disputed records will be corrected before payroll use.
Complete commercial quote: Confirm enabled cameras, sites, subscription, setup, hardware, taxes and support. Use the assessed scope to compare proposals.

attendance system for warehouse — common questions

How do you track warehouse attendance across multiple loading bays?

Any camera with a usable view of an opening can act as a check-in point, so bays, yard gates and office doors are all covered by the same system. There is no per-door hardware cost, which is what makes covering four openings practical rather than theoretical.

Can it track third-party logistics or contract crews?

Yes. Enrolment is a short face scan from a phone, so a new crew can be registered at the gate in minutes, and their records can be kept separate from permanent staff and purged when the contract ends.

Does it help with warehouse shrinkage as well as attendance?

That is the practical advantage of running both on one camera estate — you can align who was on site with what the bay cameras recorded. The same feeds also carry after-hours boundary alerts, so one system serves both purposes.

What about drivers and visitors who are not employees?

Unenrolled faces are logged as unknown rather than ignored, so you retain a record of movement without registering every visiting driver as staff.

Do we need to replace our warehouse cameras?

Rarely all of them. Bay cameras angled down at vehicles usually need repositioning before they can identify people, while most entrance cameras at normal height already qualify. The feasibility check tells you which is which before you commit.

What a project here involves

Compatible cameras and recorders you already own are reused wherever they are suitable. Detection runs on an on-site processing unit, and camera suitability, stream access, processing hardware and network are all confirmed at the assessment — with anything extra itemised in the quote before you commit.

What the quote is made of

Component	What decides it	Price
Cameras reused	Which existing cameras give a usable view for each use case — confirmed on a still image of each view.	Quoted per site
Cameras moved or added	Only where a use case needs a view no camera has (plates and faces usually do). Each one named in the quote.	Quoted per site
On-site processing unit	Detection runs here, next to the recorder. Model, quantity and warranty depend on camera count and analytics.	Quoted per site
Software / licences	Which analytics on which cameras, the term, and the basis for renewal.	Quoted per site
Installation and configuration	Stream setup, zones, schedules, alert routing and commissioning.	Quoted per site
Pilot	Agreed scenes, acceptance criteria and duration before rollout.	Quoted per site
Support	Hours, response versus fix time, and who replaces failed hardware.	Quoted per site
Taxes	Stated separately on the quote.	Quoted per site

How it is evaluated

1. Self-check — Two minutes, nothing sent — find likely blockers.
2. Scope on paper — Cameras, use cases and acceptance tests, written down.
3. Site assessment — PGAK checks streams, views and network on your cameras.
4. Pilot against criteria — Precision, recall, false alerts and delay, agreed in advance.
5. Written proposal — Itemised as above; you decide whether to roll out.
