Warehouses wiring FAQs

Should this be designed camera-by-camera?

Yes. Most warehouses projects benefit from a location-by-location plan rather than a generic package.

What should be handed over?

At minimum, hand over the cable schedule, device schedule, port map, user instructions and as-built diagram.

Where do product choices fit?

Product choice should follow the wiring and design plan. SecurityWholesalers can be used as a product reference, then products should be checked against the actual design.
