Even with today’s self-storage technology – like cameras, smart locks, and access control – many facilities still lack full visibility across their entire property. To close this gap, owners and operators are turning to partners like StorageDefender to increase revenue, enhance site awareness, and stand out from the competition.
With Smart Units and Smart Zones, operators gain portfolio-wide visibility and control. Smart Units deliver 24/7 in-unit monitoring and send real-time text alerts to tenants when their unit is accessed, creating a new, recurring revenue stream for owners. At the same time, Smart Zones transform facilities into fully connected smart properties, improving safety, operational awareness, and peace of mind.
So, What is a Smart Zone?
Smart Zones are sensors deployed in common areas like hallways, offices, stairwells, and entrances that monitor temperature, humidity, gate status, and more! Deliver real-time environmental and operational insights directly to the StorageDefender dashboard, empowering owners and operators to stay ahead of potential issues. When paired with +VisualVerify™, you can centralize all video feeds into a single, user-friendly dashboard, providing unmatched protection, quick response times, and total facility awareness.
Let’s break down the array of sensors that make StorageDefender Smart Zones a must-have for automated, efficient storage operations.
Motion Detection & Traffic Counting
Seamlessly monitor foot traffic and detect motion with precision from anywhere. Remotely track facility activity, receive real-time alerts for suspicious movement or unauthorized access, and take immediate action without being on-site.
The result?
Enhanced visibility, faster incident resolution, and lower labor costs are all driven by actionable, data-rich insights.
Temperature & Humidity Monitoring
Track temperature and humidity levels throughout your facility to maintain ideal conditions year-round. With StorageDefender, you can protect tenants’ belongings from mold, warping, and heat-related damage, while also optimizing utility usage and cutting costs. Real-time alerts to management of temperature fluctuations help you stay ahead of potential issues before they escalate.
Gate & Door Status Monitoring
Maintain complete control over your facility with real-time monitoring of all entry points. Whether it’s a tenant leaving their unit open or an employee forgetting to close a door, continuous monitoring on the dashboard ensures you’re always informed. With easy-to-use oversight tools, you’ll enhance both visibility and operational efficiency.
Water & Flood Detection
What if a hidden water leak threatened your entire facility before anyone even noticed? Smart Zones monitor for water leaks and potential flooding throughout your facility to prevent costly damage before it occurs. With real-time notifications, you can respond quickly to unexpected moisture or rising water levels. This enables you to protect against structural damage, mold growth, and ruined tenant belongings while minimizing repair costs and safeguarding your bottom line.
+VisualVerify Integration
Take your facility’s visibility and protection to the next level with +VisualVerify. By integrating Smart Zones with +VisualVerify technology, you can centralize cloud-recorded footage from all your camera systems into one, easy-to-navigate dashboard. This powerful combination not only enhances situational awareness but also streamlines incident reviews, saves time, reduces manual effort, and boosts overall operational efficiency.
Darren Kelley, President of Right Move Storage, says, “The future right now is +VisualVerify. Just having that technology in the properties, along with StorageDefender, it’s just very exciting. I cannot wait to put this into my portfolio!” Experience smarter monitoring and greater peace of mind, all in one place with VisualVerify.
