Northeast Remote Surveillance and Alarm, LLC (NERSA) designs, installs, integrates, monitors, upgrades and supports commercial and industrial security systems for businesses throughout the Lehigh Valley section of the Route 33 corridor.

Route 33 connects industrial and logistics properties around Tatamy, Nazareth and Stockertown with I-78, Route 22, Easton-area commercial markets, industrial parks and the broader Lehigh Valley freight and distribution network. NERSA supports manufacturing facilities, warehouses, contractor yards and multi-building commercial properties in these communities with security planning for cameras, managed entry, intrusion detection, gates and after-hours response.

Properties along this corridor often operate across several shifts. Trucks may arrive outside office hours, and docks may stay active while other areas are closed. Trailers, equipment and materials may remain exposed overnight. The security plan needs to account for those differences.

Security planning should therefore follow the movement of people, vehicles, freight and materials across the property rather than begin with a predetermined camera count, alarm package or access-control system.

Coordinate cameras, alarms, controlled entry, and monitoring around the way employees, vehicles, and deliveries move through your Route 33 property.

Security Around Route 33 Freight Movement

Freight movement is one of the defining characteristics of many Route 33 commercial and industrial properties.

A single facility may have tractor-trailers, delivery vehicles, employee vehicles, contractors, vendors, forklifts, loading crews and shipping personnel moving through the property at different times.

These activities often intersect around:

• Loading docks
• Truck courts
• Shipping offices
• Gate lanes
• Warehouse entrances
• Trailer staging areas
• Employee parking
• Service drives

Security planning should distinguish between general property visibility and locations where more specific documentation is required.

The goal is to help authorized personnel understand what happened, where it happened, when it happened and which people or vehicles were involved.

Test the Handoff Between the Gate, Yard, and Dock

At a Route 33 freight property, trace one agreed delivery from vehicle arrival through the shipping office and assigned dock. Identify who admits the driver, who changes the destination when a dock is occupied, and which record lets staff locate the relevant activity later. Keep vehicle-entry permission separate from permission to enter the warehouse.

Use that sequence to check camera views, time alignment, gate or door events, and the authorized operator’s ability to retrieve a record. Include a normal exception, such as an early truck or a closed shipping office, so staff know the fallback contact and waiting arrangement. Repeat relevant checks after dark when the site operates overnight, and document any limits caused by parked trailers, lighting, or unavailable connections.

Existing Route 33 Security Systems

Industrial properties frequently change as buildings expand, loading positions are added, tenants change or operations grow.

Existing cameras, recording systems, access-control equipment, intrusion alarms, gates, cabling, fiber, networks, power and documentation can be evaluated before a replacement plan is developed.

Existing equipment may remain useful when it is compatible, serviceable and appropriate for the finished system.

The goal is to preserve useful infrastructure where practical while correcting gaps that affect reliability, coverage, administration or expansion.

Infrastructure for Route 33 Industrial Properties

Large industrial and logistics properties may require supporting infrastructure across buildings, gates, parking areas and exterior operating zones.

That infrastructure can include:

• Structured cabling
• Fiber
• PoE switching
• Wireless building connections
• Equipment cabinets
• Network racks
• Backup power
• Surge protection
• Outdoor pathways
• Network segmentation
• Equipment labeling
• System documentation

Infrastructure should be planned around system reliability and future expansion rather than treated as an afterthought.

Code-Aware Commercial Security Planning

Commercial security equipment can interact with controlled doors, emergency egress, fire alarm systems, accessibility requirements, electrical systems and other building conditions.

Security technology does not replace required workplace-safety, fire, life-safety or other compliance responsibilities.

Projects involving sensitive building conditions should be coordinated appropriately for the property.

For broader guidance, visit Code and Compliance for Commercial Security Systems.
