We know you value the property you place into storage.

And, we know most of our competitors don't like to talk about how secure their facility is, or break-ins and theft from storage units. It has happened to every facility, just some more than others.

A computerized gate really offers very little protection. Theives tailgate into the facility behind real customers, cut the gate operator loose, or jam it open.

We have a camera at the gate that captures the person entering the key code, but a bad guy can just hold something up to cover their face.

FACT: You can't stop all of the bad guys. Typically, what we get is good video and the bad guys get an all expense paid vacation at taxpayer expense.

We use the same security software that major casinos in Las Vegas and banks nationwide do. Typically the "smart" crooks would say let's break into the on-site office and steal or destroy the video camera servers... except in our case the feeds are live across both the internet and a private microwave link to a control center at another location many, many miles away.

For example, if the camera cables are cut (video lost) or the lens is spray painted, phone line is cut or electric power is cut, or the site office door is forced open, a failure email goes out via the internet and a text message is sent via a cell phone modem inside the site office.

We can't stop them, but the bad guys may have very limited time before the silent electronic alarms result in a police patrol car. And yes, you can view our camera system and the alert messages on the Iphone, Blackberry and Windows Mobile cell phones.

A camera specifically designed for license plates captures the vehicle's license plate day or night. All of the cameras see in near total darkness, and one of the three cameras located on our 50' communications tower not only sees in starlight (0.0001 lux for a usable image), but can track and zoom on movement, and has a five hundred and twelve times telescopic Zoom and auto-focus (Samsung SCC-C4335 Camera ).
