BTI Communications Group, LTD. is a commercial security integrator with an office in Santa Fe Springs serving the Inland Empire, in business for over 40 years. We install access control for warehouses and distribution centers in Ontario, Fontana, Rialto, Moreno Valley, Perris and across the region. BTI has no Inland Empire office and serves the region from Santa Fe Springs, about 26 miles from Ontario and 39 miles from Riverside in a straight line. California licenses ACO #7670 and C-7 807767. Call 562-298-5070.
Requirements
Recommended setup
Inland Empire distribution buildings are big: hundreds of thousands of square feet, dozens of dock doors and a long walk from the gate to the office. The setup below fits that stock.
A reader or plate recognition at the truck gate, an intercom to the guard shack and a separate employee entry.
A locked driver door or window with an intercom, so carriers reach shipping without access to the floor.
Lobby, HR and IT room readers on the same platform as the warehouse doors.
Readers on high value cages and returns rooms, with video on every door event.
Cards for floor staff, mobile credentials for managers, and temporary badges for agency labor.
Battery backup sized for summer outages, and enclosures shaded or rated for heat.
Axis or Avigilon cameras on doors and gates so each badge event has a clip.
Staffing in Ontario, Fontana and Moreno Valley distribution centers can swing sharply between slow months and peak season. BTI sets up badge printing and enrollment so HR can issue a credential in minutes, groups that match roles and shifts, and expiration dates on temporary and agency badges so access ends on its own.
When a worker leaves, one change in the platform removes every door, gate and cage at once. Reports show who still holds access, which helps during audits and after an incident.
Most losses in a distribution building happen near the docks, in returns and in high value cages. BTI puts readers on cage and returns doors, keeps dock man doors locked from the outside and ties every door event to the matching camera clip, so a supervisor can see who entered and what they carried.
BTI designs and installs cameras and access control for warehouse and distribution buildings, so the doors and the video come from one team and one plan.
Truck gates and guard shacks often sit hundreds of feet from the main building. BTI plans fiber or wireless links for those runs, puts the gate reader and intercom on the same platform as the building doors, and adds plate recognition where the yard team wants a record of every truck.
Exterior readers, enclosures and power supplies are chosen for Inland Empire heat, and High Desert sites get equipment rated for wind and dust.
Standards and compliance
| Requirement | Source | What it means for your doors |
|---|---|---|
| Electrified egress doors | California Building Code and California Fire Code, enforced by the city building department and the local fire authority | Sensor or push-button release, release on power loss where required, and a tie to the building life safety system where the code calls for it. |
| Accessibility | California Building Code Chapter 11B | Readers, keypads and intercoms mounted at accessible heights with hardware that is easy to operate. |
| Workplace violence prevention | California Labor Code 6401.9 (SB 553) | Controlled entries, visitor records and lockdown give the employer's written prevention plan practical controls. |
| Warehouse worker protections | California Labor Code 2100 to 2112 (AB 701) | Access logs are a security tool. BTI sets roles so badge data is used for building security and not as a hidden productivity measure. |
Your building official, fire authority and employment counsel make the final call on code and labor questions; BTI designs to pass review the first time.
