Importance of Security in Self-Storage Facilities in Texas
While self-storage offers convenience and accessibility for customers, it can also attract those who are not supposed to have access. With risks like theft and vandalism, the safety and security of the facility should be a top priority. If a facility fails to provide adequate security and a customer’s belongings are stolen or damaged, the facility could be held liable. This is why any credible facility must have up-to-date security measures in place to protect each unit from unwanted visitors or damage. By incorporating strong security protocols, a self-storage facility can protect the contents of the units, ensure the safety of the staff, and safeguard the business itself.
Whether your facility needs an updated system or a complete overhaul,
RBO Technology can help.
Physical Security Measures
A self-storage facility that is intentional about its business and serving its customers will make sure that they have the latest security measures in place. From harnessing the benefits of perimeter security to access control, both features are essential for maintaining the safety and security of a facility. Today’s technology has further improved these features, making them a must-needed amenity of any self-storage facility in Texas.
Perimeter Security
Effective security starts around the perimeter, as it’s the first line of defense against intruders and criminal activity. Tall, sturdy fencing around the facility’s perimeter helps keep unauthorized visitors out. Pairing these fences with 24/7 CCTV cameras, strategically placed to cover both the exterior and interior of the facility, will further enhance the facility’s security.
Continuous surveillance is crucial for self-storage facilities, just as it is for any other business. High-definition security cameras not only deter criminal activity but also provide valuable footage in case of any incidents. With comprehensive monitoring of all activities within and around the facility, customers can feel confident about the security of their belongings and staff won’t have to worry about potential dangerous activity.
Access Control
Customers are paying for exclusive access to protect their belongings and ensure their safety when accessing them. Without access controls, anyone could enter a self-storage facility and be one step closer to getting inside any unit. Implementing electronic gate systems with individual codes or keycards ensures that only authorized individuals can enter the facility. This helps keep unauthorized individuals out and tracks who enters the premises.
To add an additional layer of security, keypads should be placed at strategic locations throughout the facility, such as at entry points on both the interior and exterior. Specific areas and units should require personalized codes for access, known only to the customers. With these access controls in place, it becomes extremely difficult for unwanted visitors to enter the facility.
