Evidence Room & Weapon Storage Security
Tamper-proof monitoring, chain-of-custody documentation, restricted access protocols, and real-time alerts for unauthorised entry attempts — purpose-built for Melbourne’s law enforcement facilities.
Protecting What Matters Most Inside Your Facility
Evidence rooms and weapon storage areas are among the most sensitive spaces in any law enforcement facility. A single breach — whether physical or procedural — can compromise active investigations, endanger officers, and create serious legal liability. SIPKO Security designs and installs layered security systems that protect these critical areas around the clock.
Continuous HD surveillance with write-protected, access-controlled storage that cannot be altered or deleted without a full audit trail.
Card, PIN, and biometric combinations ensuring only authorised personnel can enter evidence or weapon storage areas.
Every access event is automatically logged with officer ID, time, and duration — creating a complete, court-admissible chain-of-custody record.
Real-time notifications sent to supervisors and security staff the moment an access attempt falls outside approved parameters.
New security layers connect seamlessly with your facility’s existing alarm, CCTV, and access infrastructure.
Tamper-Proof CCTV Surveillance
High-resolution cameras cover every angle of evidence rooms and armouries. Footage is stored on write-protected NVR systems with hardware-level tamper detection — any attempt to interfere with the recording triggers an immediate alert and is itself logged as an event.
Chain-of-Custody Documentation
Every entry and exit event is automatically recorded with officer credentials, timestamp, and duration. These logs are stored in a tamper-evident format that can be exported directly for use in court proceedings, internal investigations, or compliance audits.
Restricted Access Control
Multi-layer access systems combining proximity cards, PIN codes, and biometric readers ensure that only pre-approved personnel can enter sensitive storage areas. Access permissions are role-based and can be updated instantly when staff assignments change.
Real-Time Unauthorised Entry Alerts
Instant push notifications and alarm triggers fire the moment an access attempt is made outside approved hours, by an unrecognised credential, or following a forced-entry sensor activation. Supervisors are notified within seconds, not minutes.
Perimeter Intrusion Detection
Magnetic door contacts, vibration sensors, and glass-break detectors form a layered perimeter around storage areas. Any physical breach attempt — even before a door is opened — triggers the alarm system and begins a timestamped incident record.
Compliance-Ready Audit Reports
The system generates structured access and incident reports on demand. These are formatted to meet Victoria Police evidence handling standards and can be provided to oversight bodies, legal teams, or internal affairs without additional processing.
Restricted Access Protocols
Access to evidence rooms and weapon storage is governed by layered protocols that go beyond a simple keycard swipe. Each layer adds friction for unauthorised users while remaining seamless for approved personnel.
Our systems are configured to your facility’s specific operational requirements — from single-officer police stations to large correctional facilities with multiple secure storage zones and shift-based access schedules.
Role-Based Access Permissions
Access rights are assigned by rank and role, not just by individual. A detective has different permissions to a uniformed officer. Permissions update automatically when roles change, and all changes are logged with the administrator’s credentials and timestamp.
Time-Restricted Entry Windows
Access can be limited to specific hours or shifts. Any attempt to enter outside the approved window triggers an immediate alert — even if the credential is valid. This prevents after-hours access that falls outside normal operational patterns.
Anti-Passback & Tailgating Prevention
Anti-passback rules prevent a single credential from being used to let multiple people through one door. Combined with door-open sensors and camera verification, this eliminates tailgating as a method of unauthorised entry.
Lockdown & Emergency Override
Supervisors can instantly lock down all evidence and weapon storage areas from a central panel or mobile app. Emergency override codes allow authorised personnel to access areas during a lockdown, with every override event flagged for review.
Visitor & Contractor Management
Temporary access credentials can be issued for maintenance contractors or oversight personnel with strict time limits and area restrictions. All temporary access is automatically revoked at expiry and logged in the audit trail.
Credential Revocation & Suspension
Access credentials can be suspended or permanently revoked instantly from the management interface — critical when an officer is stood down, suspended, or leaves the organisation. Revocation takes effect in real time across all controlled doors.
Real-Time Alerts for Unauthorised Entry Attempts
When someone attempts to access a restricted area without authorisation, every second counts. Our alert system is designed to notify the right people immediately — before a breach becomes an incident.
Tamper-Proof Monitoring Technologies
Every component in our evidence room and weapon storage security systems is selected for its resistance to tampering, interference, and circumvention — because the integrity of the system is as important as the integrity of what it protects.
Tamper-Evident Cameras
Cameras with built-in tamper detection alert the system if they are covered, repositioned, or physically interfered with — and the attempt is logged as a security event.
Hardware-Encrypted Storage
NVR and access log storage uses AES-256 hardware encryption. Physical removal of the storage device without authorisation triggers an alarm and renders the data unreadable.
Vibration & Shock Sensors
Sensors mounted on storage room walls and doors detect drilling, cutting, or impact attempts before a physical breach occurs — providing early warning before the perimeter is compromised.
Continuous Health Monitoring
The system continuously self-monitors for camera offline events, network disconnections, and power interruptions — distinguishing genuine faults from deliberate interference attempts.
Perimeter Security & Intrusion Detection
Motion detection, fence sensors, perimeter cameras, and real-time alerts — layered detection systems that catch unauthorised access attempts before they reach your facility’s interior.
Detecting Threats Before They Reach Your Doors
Law enforcement facilities need perimeter security that works 24/7 — detecting movement, fence tampering, and unauthorised access attempts in real time. Our layered detection approach combines multiple sensor types to eliminate blind spots and false alarms.
From motion-triggered cameras to vibration sensors on perimeter fencing, every detection event is logged, timestamped, and can trigger immediate alerts to security staff.
Perimeter-mounted cameras with intelligent motion detection that distinguishes between animals, vehicles, and people.
Vibration and pressure sensors on fencing detect climbing, cutting, or forced entry attempts instantly.
Night-vision and thermal imaging provide clear detection in low-light conditions without visible light spillover.
Instant notifications to security staff and supervisors the moment a perimeter breach is detected.
Perimeter alerts can trigger automatic lockdown of facility entry points and recording of all access attempts.
Motion Detection
AI-powered motion sensors distinguish between animals, vehicles, and people — reducing false alarms while catching genuine threats.
Fence Sensors
Vibration and pressure sensors mounted on perimeter fencing detect climbing, cutting, or forced entry attempts before a breach occurs.
Perimeter Cameras
High-resolution cameras with wide-angle lenses cover all approach routes and entry points with continuous recording and motion triggers.
Real-Time Alerts
Instant push notifications and alarm triggers alert security staff within seconds of any perimeter detection event.
Layered Detection for Complete Coverage
A single sensor type can be defeated or fail. Our approach combines multiple detection technologies — motion, vibration, thermal, and visual — so that no intrusion method goes undetected. Every detection event is logged with timestamp, location, and sensor type, creating a complete audit trail of all perimeter activity.
Thermal Imaging
Detects heat signatures in complete darkness — no visible light needed, no blind spots. Provides clear detection in all weather conditions and lighting scenarios.
Vibration Sensors
Detects fence climbing, cutting, or impact attempts before physical breach occurs. Mounted on perimeter fencing for early warning of tampering.
AI Motion Analysis
Intelligent algorithms reduce false alarms by distinguishing between animals and actual threats. Learns facility patterns to improve accuracy over time.
Timestamped Logging
Every detection event is logged with precise timestamp and sensor location for audit purposes. Court-admissible records for incident investigation.

Call 0406 432 691Installation Questions
Questions about our installation process? Here are answers to what we hear most often from facilities in Melbourne.
Installation timelines vary based on facility size and complexity. Most installations take 2-5 days for equipment installation, followed by 1-2 days of testing and calibration. We work with your team to schedule installation during low-activity periods to minimize disruption to operations. Smaller facilities may be completed in 2-3 days, while larger multi-building facilities may take up to a week.
Usually yes. We can integrate with most existing systems. During the initial consultation, we assess what you have and design a solution that works with it. If you need a standalone system, we can do that too.
We set it up based on what you need. Most facilities keep footage for 30-90 days on the local system, with older footage backed up to secure cloud storage. We can configure it to keep recordings for as short as a week or as long as 12 months, depending on your storage and needs.
The system has backup power. A UPS (battery backup) keeps the recording system running during power outages. Footage is also backed up to the cloud automatically. If something fails, we provide 24/7 support and can send a technician within hours for critical issues.
Yes. We set up a mobile app so authorised staff can view live footage and search recordings from anywhere. You control who can access what. All access is logged and encrypted for security.
We’re available 24/7 for support. All systems come with a 12-month warranty covering parts and labour. We offer maintenance packages with quarterly check-ups and software updates. Most issues can be fixed remotely, but we can send a technician for hardware problems.
Yes. All our systems meet Australian security standards. We work with your team to make sure everything is set up correctly and meets your facility’s requirements.
Cost depends on facility size, number of cameras, and what you need. Small facilities start around $15,000-$25,000. Larger facilities with multiple buildings can be $50,000-$150,000+. We provide a detailed quote after the initial consultation with no hidden costs. We can discuss flexible payment options and help you prioritise the most critical areas if budget is a concern.
