Environmental Sensors

Crime and shrinkage aren’t the only risks in your facility. Environmental hazards like water, heat, and humidity can cause damage behind walls, under floors, and on shelves. They can ruin valuable inventory and wreak havoc with sensitive production processes. Workers can risk injury due to slips, hypothermia, and heat stroke.

Keep your business environment under control with sensors that constantly monitor key variables and send alerts to key personnel when conditions are out of spec. Notifications that can be configured for email, text message, and app push notifications provide operators with the best chance to detect and respond to changing conditions before they become dangerous or costly.

The sensors we carry offer:

  • A wide variety of measurable variables: water, temperature, humidity, voltage, vibration, air quality, and more;

  • Integration with other security systems like cameras and intrusion alarms;

  • Mobile apps for remote monitoring;

  • Permissions management for getting sensor data to the right team;

  • Dashboarding for easy reporting and trend line evaluation

Recent Projects

  • Distribution Center Cabling & Cameras

    Cameras and data infrastructure for a 40’ tall, 100,000 square foot packing and distribution facility. Required IDFs, lift equipment, and nearly 2 miles of cabling.

  • A security camera on a building exterior

    Exterior Camera Upgrade

    Helped building owner upgrade cameras to zoomable, varifocal units to provide better resolution from building corners. The new cameras provided better identification of traffic/license plates and better coverage of a dumpster that had been a target for illegal dumping.

  • Surveillance NAS Upgrade

    A multi-site client with expanding video storage needs engaged Settler to provide on-the-ground labor to install and cable a Synology Rackstation NAS cabinet and supporting network equipment.

  • Access Control Takeover & Modernization

    After a client bought an operation with a warehouse and light manufacturing facility, we helped them gain functional ownership of the access control system, remove inactive credentials, and upgrade to cloud infrastructure for easy management of multiple sites.

  • Camera Replacement

    Assisted a client moving into a new warehouse and office facility with removing old, proprietary cameras and upgrading to higher-resolution, interoperable ONVIF hardware, while testing and reusing existing cabling where possible to keep costs down.

  • A scissor lift outside of a warehouse

    Blind Spot Elimination

    Added exterior cameras at dock, alley, and parking lot to help a client experiencing high levels of theft from storage yard and alley.

  • A warehouse dock

    Shrinkage Mitigation

    Stop repeated theft of high-value product from 200,000 sq ft facility through targeted coverage of product locations and exits. Used Eagle Eye cloud VMS to integrate multiple cameras with minimal cabling.

  • R2 Certification

    Provided cabling and camera installation for a tightly-controlled facility getting its R2 (Responsible Recycling) certification for used electronics. Requires ability to trace physical chain-of-custody through a warehouse-sized facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We carry Swift Sensors. Swift offers a wide array of sensors that can detect many different variables: water, humidity, temperature, air quality, electrical current, vibration, noise levels and more.

  • A simple installation of one or two sensors may be done for several hundred dollars. More complex installations will generally add $200 - $500 per sensor depending on type. Some highly-specialized sensors cost more. There is a small monthly fee per sensor for cloud communication, reporting, and notification forwarding services.

  • Sensors forward their observations via wireless signals to a wired internet gateway. The gateway sends the observations to a cloud system that allows reporting through trend dashboards, mobile alerts, and other options.

  • Our mission is to protect our clients’ property, products, and people. Environmental factors can pose risks to all three of those.
