Tucking items away in a storage unit is an excellent way to free up space. To be confident that they’re safe, find a facility with a video surveillance system. Nothing can match the efficacy of video, and you’ll find there are several additional advantages to choosing a storage solution with this feature.

Why Should Your Storage Facility Have Video Surveillance?

1. Deterring Criminals

Security cameras are often enough to deter criminals. Facilities will display them prominently above potential entry points. Psychologically, criminals will see them as too much of a risk alongside having to bypass locks and security personnel.

2. Liability Protection

Damage from natural disasters can’t always be prevented. If your storage unit is flooded or destroyed during a storm or fire, the surveillance system will provide liability protection. The facility can provide video evidence for you to share with your insurance company. This can be the difference between you receiving partial and full compensation. Video evidence can serve the same purpose if you’re the victim of a break-in.

3. Peace of Mind

Nothing can match the peace of mind a surveillance system provides. Cameras are also evidence of the facility’s commitment to customer safety. They let you know that owners are invested in your property’s well-being and will take every step to prevent issues.

Ask about the security systems they have. Are high-definition cameras with pan, zoom, and other features included? Is there 24/7 monitoring from security personnel? This will give you a complete idea of the safety measures in place.
