Waste & Recycling and Truck Stop security in Calgary
Security cameras for waste and recycling facilities and truck stops in Calgary help owners see every entrance, gate and yard, protect staff and equipment, and keep a clear record of what happened. Bordo Security Ltd designs and installs security cameras, access control and alarms with 24/7 monitoring for waste transfer stations, recycling depots, scrap yards and truck stops in Calgary and surrounding Alberta communities. With 16+ years of experience since 2010, a team of 12 specialists and 1350+ projects completed, we build systems for busy, dusty and outdoor sites that need to work day and night.
What security cameras do waste and recycling facilities need?
Waste and recycling facilities need entrance cameras, gate cameras, yard cameras and perimeter cameras that cover where trucks enter, weigh, dump and load. The right system gives a clear view of the scale house, the tipping area, the sorting and storage areas, and the exits, so staff can check activity, settle disputes and deter theft and illegal dumping.
What is included in a typical system:
- Entrance and gate cameras that record every vehicle entering and leaving the site
- Licence-plate capture cameras at entrances and scale houses
- Yard cameras covering loading, tipping, sorting and storage areas
- Perimeter cameras for fences, gates and out-of-hours activity
- Remote viewing, so owners and managers can check the site from a phone or computer
- Alarms with 24/7 monitoring for after-hours intrusion
Licence-plate capture at entrances and scale houses
Licence-plate capture cameras at a scale house or entrance record the plate of each truck as it arrives and leaves. This creates a clear, searchable record of site traffic, helps with billing and load records, and gives useful evidence if there is a dispute, damage or an unauthorized visit.
Entrance and gate cameras for truck stops
Entrance and gate cameras for truck stops show who is coming and going, including trucks, cars and pedestrians. They help staff monitor fuel areas, parking and wash areas, deter theft and vandalism, and review an incident quickly when a driver or customer reports a problem.
Yard and perimeter cameras for scrap yards and transfer stations
Yard and perimeter cameras cover large, open areas where material, equipment and vehicles are stored. They reduce blind spots around piles, containers and fences, and, with alarms and monitoring, can alert the monitoring centre when there is activity outside business hours.

Frequently asked questions about security cameras for waste, recycling and truck stops in Calgary
What cameras work best at a waste transfer station or recycling depot entrance?
Entrance cameras with a clear view of the gate and scale house work best, combined with a licence-plate capture camera for vehicles. Camera positions are chosen on site, so plates and vehicle details are recorded as trucks enter and leave.
Can cameras read licence plates at a scale house or gate?
Yes, licence-plate capture cameras are designed to record plates at entrances and scale houses. They are positioned for the lane and the speed of vehicles using that entrance, and the recordings help with traffic, billing and incident records.
Do truck stop cameras work at night and in bad weather?
Yes, outdoor cameras for truck stops are selected for outdoor use and low-light conditions, so the entrance, yard and parking areas can be monitored at night and in Calgary weather. Camera positions and lighting are checked during the site assessment.
Can I view my yard cameras remotely?
Yes, your cameras can be viewed remotely from a phone or computer. Owners and managers can check entrances, gates and yards, review recorded video, and check on the site outside business hours.
Do you install alarms and access control as well as cameras?
Yes, Bordo Security Ltd installs security cameras, access control and alarms with 24/7 monitoring, as well as Mircom video intercoms. A combined system covers entrances, gates, yards and buildings from one coordinated design.
