Self-storage is the one vertical where the perimeter is genuinely solved and the interior is not. The gate keeps a log; the hallway where the lock was cut does not. Claims then come down to a tenant’s word against a facility with nothing to show.
So the work is unit-level accountability: credentials tied to the tenant record rather than a shared gate code, cameras at the junctions where every hall is covered by geometry instead of by count, and plates at the gate to attach a vehicle to each visit.
The most common loss, and the hardest to evidence without junction coverage.
A code that survives a move-out is an open gate. Credentials should expire with the lease.
Every claim you cannot answer with video is a claim you pay.
Drive aisles kept clear and responder entry at the gate, documented.
UL 325 protection on high-traffic gates, inspected at each service visit.
Storage sized to the window your insurer and your lease language actually require.
Scoped to the property, not a per-unit rate card. These are the factors that move the number, in the order they usually matter.
That is the normal case, and we scope it before install. Leases drive credentials, so a move-out revokes access without anyone remembering to.
Agreed. We place at junctions so each camera covers multiple runs. Most facilities need about half the cameras they expect.
Then we may keep the gate and spend the money inside, where your losses are. The walk tells us which.
Cut locks in the interior buildings with no usable footage. We tied per-tenant codes to the management software, covered every hall junction, and added plate capture at the gate and exit.
Yes. When your software marks a unit vacated, the credential stops working the same day.
Yes, with per-site credentials and one place to pull footage.
Thirty days is common, ninety where high-value tenants are involved. We size storage to whichever your policy names.
Name, phone and ZIP. We walk it before we price it.
