Self-Storage Security Designed Around Real Facility Risk
After-hours break-ins, copper theft, unauthorized occupancy, and failed access systems are the risks that keep storage-facility owners up at night. DLM designs detection, verification, and response around what actually happens at your property — not a generic equipment package.
The Risks DLM Is Called In to Stop
Storage facilities face a specific set of threats. DLM designs security around these exact risks — not a one-size-fits-all camera package.
After-Hours Break-Ins
Intruders enter gates, units, and office areas after hours when no one is on site to respond.
Copper and Equipment Theft
Copper wiring, HVAC components, and stored equipment are targeted and removed before anyone notices.
Unauthorized Occupancy
People break into units or buildings to live inside, creating liability, damage, and repeated incidents.
Rooftop HVAC Theft
Rooftop units and HVAC equipment are stolen from areas that cameras often do not cover.
Rear and Side-Door Entry
Back doors, side doors, and less-visible entry points are used to enter without being seen.
Failed or Outdated Access Systems
Older access platforms fail, lock out staff, or cannot manage credentials remotely — leaving the facility exposed.
Camera Blind Spots
Gaps in coverage leave gates, corridors, rooftops, and exterior perimeters unmonitored.
Cameras That Record but Do Not Respond
A camera captures footage of a break-in, but no one verifies the event or takes action until long after the damage is done.
Active Security, Not Passive Recording
From Video Alarm that talks down intruders in real time to cloud access control you can manage from anywhere — DLM builds a response plan around your facility.
Video Alarm with Professional Verification
AI-powered cameras detect activity after hours. Trained operators verify the event, issue live audio warnings to tell intruders to leave, and escalate to law enforcement when appropriate — stopping break-ins while they are happening, not after.
- Professional video verification
- Live audio intervention
- Law-enforcement escalation
- Incident clips and reporting
Cloud Access Control
Cloud-based access control for gates, overhead doors, office doors, and individual unit areas. Manage credentials, schedules, and access groups from anywhere — ideal for out-of-state or multi-location owners.
- Gate and overhead-door integration
- Remote lock and unlock
- Credential and schedule management
- Multi-location administration
Managed User and Credential Administration
DLM can manage tenant, employee, and vendor credentials on your behalf — adding users, removing access, updating schedules, and maintaining clean access groups so you do not have to.
- Tenant credential management
- Employee access administration
- Vendor and contractor access
- Schedule and access-group changes
Audit Trails
Every access event is logged and searchable. Pull audit reports for investigations, disputes, or compliance — without digging through software yourself.
- Complete access-event logging
- Searchable audit history
- Reports for investigations
- Compliance documentation
System-Health and Service Options
For customers enrolled in a compatible managed-security plan, DLM can monitor system health, help identify camera or access issues before they become failures, and coordinate service when problems arise.
- Camera-health monitoring
- Access-system health checks
- Proactive service coordination
- Firmware and platform updates
