Security for the Modern Self-Storage Facility: The Equipment You Need Today
In a comprehensive blog post on Inside Self Storage, Sarah McDougall, a Business Development Consultant at QuikStor Security and Software, provides a closer look at the advanced security technologies seen in modern self-storage facilities. Her professional insights underscore the sophisticated approach in the industry, where operators focus on more than just theft prevention, encompassing data security, regulatory compliance, and emergency response.
According to McDougall, today's operators leverage intelligent access-control systems, smart locks, integrated kiosks, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered surveillance capabilities for streamlined management. With seamless integration with facility-management software, these security components offer centralized control, enhanced security, operational efficiency, and improved customer experience.
She explains the need for operators to select compatible and scalable security solutions that ensure harmony with the site, network, and standard facility-management software.
While the advancements in self-storage security technology have been notable, McDougall emphasizes the importance of maximizing these investments through regular training, implementation of regulations for data safety, fostering community engagement, staying updated with industry trends and advancements, and ensuring sound emergency preparedness.
This article can be summed up in McDougall's line: "The technology available in the self-storage industry today won’t just improve site security; it’ll enhance the services you offer and increase your market competitiveness."
