Storage Defender
Category: Security, Access & Smart Locks
StorageDefender provides smart unit and smart zone sensors for self-storage. Smart Units are an in-unit, 24/7 monitoring service that tenants pay for monthly, giving operators a recurring revenue stream per unit. Smart Zones monitor hallways, offices, outdoor areas and entry points. Operators get a dashboard for incidents, vacant units and access analytics. The company says the service can increase revenue 12–20% and announced an integration with Cubby.
