The Challenge
Extra Space Storage facilities require constant surveillance due to the high value of stored customer property and the need to monitor numerous access points across large properties.
Key Challenges:

- Point 2: Indoor hallways, elevators, office spaces, and access-controlled entry doors needed high-resolution video evidence for disputes and incidents.
- Point 3: Management teams needed remote access to live and recorded video across multiple locations without relying solely on on-site personnel.
