Wireless sensor networks have profound effects on many application fields like security management which need an immediate, fast and energy efficient route. In this paper, we define a QoS based network layer for security management of chemical products warehouse which can be classified as real-time and mission critical application. This application generate alert packets caused by unusual events which need a short end to end delay and low packet loss rate constraints. After each node compute his hop count and build his neighbors table in the initialization phase, packets can be routed to the sink. We use Random ReRouting protocol which dynamically transfers routine data packets to secondary paths in the network, while offering a fast track path with better QoS for the packets carrying unusual events data. We add an energy threshold for the routing protocol to control the energy consumption and we adapt the network topology changes by rerun the initialization phase when chemical units were added or removed from the warehouse. Analysis shows that the network layer is energy efficient and can meet the QoS constraints of unusual events packets.
