CCTV for transport and logistics yards
A transport yard needs the gate with plate capture, the fuel store or bowser, the parking rows, the workshop corner and the office. Thirty to sixty days of retention covers trip-dispute cycles, and the far corners of big yards usually run on solar. Eight cameras start around PKR 145,000.

Plates in, plates out
Every vehicle movement logged by a dedicated plate camera at the gate, stamped on the recorder timeline, is the yard's core record. Departure and arrival disputes with drivers, and loading-time arguments with customers, get settled from that log — the scene cameras only add detail to it.
Diesel is the loss that repeats
Fuel pilferage from parked vehicles and the yard bowser is steady, small and adds up to more than most one-off thefts. A camera on the bowser and one along each parking row, with lighting good enough for night work, addresses the loss the yard's accounts actually show.
Big plots, thin wiring
The yards around Tarnol, Pirwadhai and the IJP Road fringe sit on large open plots where trenching cable to a far corner costs more than the camera it feeds. Solar-powered cameras with wireless links back to the office cover those corners, sized for winter daylight, with the recorder and gate kit on a UPS for outage cover.
What CCTV does a transport yard need?
Can plate capture work in a dusty yard at night?
Yes, with a dedicated plate camera carrying its own infra-red and cleaned on a schedule — dust film is what degrades night reads, so yard systems need quarterly servicing more than most.
How long should a yard keep footage?
Thirty to sixty days. Trip and delivery disputes can take a billing cycle to surface, and the gate log should still exist when they do.
Rather have it done?
Business CCTV is built around the counter, the entrance, the stock area and the back door, with storage long enough to catch problems you only notice at stocktake. Systems for Islamabad marts, pharmacies, schools and offices start at PKR 85,000, and can tie into access control and your point of sale.
