Self-Storage security in Calgary
Security cameras and access control for self-storage facilities in Calgary help owners protect units, control who can enter the site, and check on the facility remotely. Bordo Security Ltd designs and installs security cameras, access control and alarms with 24/7 monitoring for self-storage facilities in Calgary and surrounding Alberta communities. With 16+ years of experience since 2010, a team of 12 specialists and 1350+ projects completed, we build systems that work for single-site and multi-site storage operators.
What security do self-storage facilities need?
Self-storage facilities need gate access control, entrance cameras, corridor cameras and unit-area cameras that cover how customers enter, move through the building and reach their units. The right system gives a clear record of entries and activity, deters break-ins and theft, and helps managers respond quickly when a customer reports a problem.
What is included in a typical system:
- Gate access control with fobs, codes or keypads for customers and staff
- Entrance cameras that record every vehicle and person entering the site
- Corridor cameras covering hallways, stairwells and unit doors
- Cameras for the office, reception and outdoor storage areas
- Remote viewing, so managers can check the facility from a phone or computer
- Alarms with 24/7 monitoring for after-hours intrusion
Gate access control for self-storage facilities
Gate access control for self-storage facilities lets only current customers and staff open the gate, and it keeps a record of who entered and when. Access can be changed quickly when a customer moves out or a code needs to be updated, without changing locks. It also helps managers see which units and gates are being used, and when.
Corridor and unit cameras for self-storage
Corridor and unit cameras cover the hallways and doors inside a storage building, so there is a clear view of who went to which area and when. They help deter break-ins, protect customers’ belongings, and give useful evidence if a unit has been disturbed or items are reported missing.
Entrance cameras and remote monitoring for storage facilities
Entrance cameras record vehicles and people at the main entrance and gate, while remote monitoring lets managers view live and recorded video from a phone or computer. This means a facility can be checked outside business hours, across more than one site, and without being on site in person.

Frequently asked questions about self-storage security in Calgary
How does gate access control work at a self-storage facility?
Gate access control uses fobs, codes or keypads so only current customers and staff can open the gate. Each entry is recorded, and access can be changed quickly when a customer moves out, without changing locks.
What cameras do self-storage facilities need?
Self-storage facilities need entrance cameras, gate cameras and corridor cameras covering hallways, stairwells and unit doors. Office, reception and outdoor storage areas are covered as needed, so managers have a clear record of activity across the site.
Can I monitor my storage facility remotely?
