Security Cameras for Industrial Sites, Yards and Docks
Industrial Security Camera Installation
CloudCentric installs UniFi Protect camera systems at plants, yards, docks, laydown areas and water plants. We operate in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, serving businesses across Charleston and the Lowcountry, and you can reach us at (844) 422-7000. All UniFi cameras are listed as NDAA compliant.
Please note that UniFi is not a monitored alarm service and carries no UL alarm certificate. Additionally, no UniFi product carries a hazardous-location rating, such as Class I Division 2, ATEX or IECEx. UniFi gear goes in unclassified rooms, never in fuel, dust or chemical classified areas.
Industrial Cameras and Video Storage
The AI PTZ Industrial camera (UVC-AI-PTZ) records 4K (8 MP) with 22x optical zoom. It reaches 100 m with infrared at night and is rated IP66. It runs from -40 to 50 °C and is powered by PoE++ at up to 51 W. We also install licence-plate cameras that read plates at gates and truck entrances.
Footage is recorded on a recorder at the site, so it stays on hardware the owner holds. Protect carries no per-camera licence, meaning recording, AI detection and remote viewing work at any camera count. To maintain security, the cameras sit on their own VLAN, separated from the plant control network.
Connecting Remote Poles and Yards
Where trenching is impractical, the UDB-Pro bridge links a camera pole up to 5 km away and passes PoE to the camera at the far end. The UBB-XG bridge links buildings at 60 GHz up to 6 Gbps over 500 m, with a 5 GHz backup radio for rain. Camera switches in outdoor cabinets can be the USW-Industrial-DIN-8-PoE, with 480 W of PoE++ and a -30 to 70 °C rating.
Remote yards with no wired internet can use the U5G-Max-Outdoor (5G, IP67, -40 to 65 °C) or the UMR-Industrial LTE router. Using Protect 7.3, cameras at a remote site can record to a central recorder through Teleport, with no recorder at the remote site.
Facility Access Control and MTSA Compliance
UniFi Access door readers and Protect cameras share one console, and each unlock event is paired with the camera clip. The Coast Guard rule requires MTSA facilities to secure, monitor and log personnel access to HMIs and other OT hardware. To meet this requirement, a camera and reader on the control room record that access.
