M & J Video has been installing Video Security Systems in Mini Storage Unit complexes for 28 years.  The most important aspect of an effective system is the CCTV camera placement.  Using the latest technology, we place Long Range Infrared Cameras looking down each isle.  To monitor cars coming in and out of the facility, we utilize License Plate Cameras, providing comprehensive documentation for the manager’s records.  Vandal Proof Dome Cameras supply clear pictures of activity inside the storage hallways.  By placing the DVR and LCD Monitor inside the manager’s office, full vision of everything going on at the complex can be achieved.  With various sized terabyte storage on the DVR’s, you can accumulate up to six months of past activity.  In a particular company with Storage Units in Santa Clarita, Ventura, Oxnard, Camarillo, Santa Barbara and Santa Maria, we installed an audio system with two way communication so the manager can contact or speak live with somebody if they have a problem getting in to their unit, or have encountered some type of vandalism.  This gives a manager the confidence to be in control of multiple venues.  Using the DVR, an owner or manager can also watch the system live, do playback from the hard drive and virtually control the operation off site.  For any further questions about how best to cover a Storage Unit facility, call M & J Video at 800/404-8433.  We also offer expert service on existing CCTV Video Security Systems at storage facilities.
