Downtown Vancouver storage facility security feature must-haves

• Security cameras
• 24 hr coverage
• Face-to-face check-in
• Security guard
• Security cameras

Ensure a facility uses state-of-the-art video surveillance and that all areas have coverage, not just the front or back doors. So, the parking lot, the loading bays, the storage aisles, any elevators, and the reception area should all be monitored.

24-hr coverage

Cameras should be rolling 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In the unlikely event something happens, it will be on record.

Face-to-face check-in

Many places use the ubiquitous pin-pad check-in system but they’re so impersonal that anyone can access them, at any time. A more secure alternative is face-to-face sign-in. This allows the facility manager to get to know who is on the site and turn away those who shouldn’t be there.

Security guard

Security guards are rare in the industry so you know those facilities that have them are serious about protecting your stuff. Storguard Vancouver employs a security guard on-site at all times, day and night, to monitor the surveillance feeds and be a deterrent.
