1Degree Surveillance delivers self storage security monitoring through live remote video for self-storage facilities, whether you manage the property directly or you’re a monitoring company, alarm dealer, or integrator delivering white label coverage to your clients. Our dedicated bench of trained monitoring operators and AI assisted detection is built for long perimeters, gates, and rows of units.
Self-storage properties are spread out, often lightly staffed, and easy to overlook until a break-in is already underway. A monitoring program built for this vertical has to watch long perimeters and rows of units at once, catch unit break-ins as they happen, and give renters a reason to trust the facility.
Most self-storage facilities run with a gate, a keypad, and cameras, but no one watching them around the clock. Coverage has to span the full perimeter and every row of units, not just the office and front gate.
Lock cutting takes seconds and is nearly silent. Live monitoring means an operator can spot the activity in real time instead of a tenant discovering a cut lock days later.
Most incidents happen after hours, when the office is closed and the property is unattended. Voice down warnings and fast escalation stop wandering and loitering before it turns into a break-in.
Renters choose facilities where they feel their belongings are safe. Visible live monitoring and a documented response history support marketing claims about security and support renewals.
Self-storage properties are high in theft risk and hard to staff. 1Degree gives your monitoring company the operator bench and detection technology to cover this vertical cost effectively, under your own brand.
Self-storage facilities are commonly run with a keypad gate, IP cameras, and no overnight staff. White label monitoring from 1Degree covers those hours at a lower cost than adding on-site guards or building your own monitoring center.
A single facility can have dozens of camera views across rows of units, drive aisles, and gates. Our larger, more active operator bench means every zone is actually being watched, not just recorded.
AI assisted detection flags movement along fence lines, at gates, and near unit rows after hours, so operators can verify and respond quickly instead of reviewing footage after the fact.
1Degree gives monitoring companies a cost effective, white label way to cover self-storage clients with trained operators and AI assisted detection, under your own brand.
Self-storage clients need coverage that does not depend on someone being on-site. We give your monitoring company a dedicated bench of trained operators and AI assisted detection built around gates, perimeters, and rows of units, delivered under your brand.
Self-storage is one of the highest theft categories in commercial property and one of the hardest to staff. 1Degree gives your monitoring company the bench, the technology, and the pricing to cover it well.
We price self-storage coverage to make sense at scale, so you can take on more facilities without your margins shrinking.
More trained operators watching more zones at once means faster verification and fewer missed events across every facility you cover.
AI assisted detection flags activity, and a trained operator verifies it before any escalation. You get speed without losing judgment.
Many providers treat self-storage like any other low-traffic property. But the risk profile is different: light staffing, long perimeters, and break-ins that often are not discovered for days.
You should know what you are paying for. 1Degree keeps pricing clear and predictable so you can quote self-storage coverage to your clients with confidence.
Choose the arrangement that fits how you work: subscription, retainer, or a fixed scope for a specific rollout.
Self-storage is one of several unmanned and lightly staffed verticals we cover regularly, so our operators already know what to watch for.
We get new facilities and camera feeds set up quickly, so coverage starts without long delays.
As you add more self-storage clients, our bench grows with you instead of becoming a bottleneck.
We tune detection for the patterns that matter in self-storage: fence lines, gates, and unit rows, not just generic motion.
You get incident summaries and documentation your team can use, not just hours of unreviewed video.
Communication stays simple. One dedicated contact keeps priorities clear and coverage on track.
Your team gets simple documentation so onboarding new self-storage clients into coverage stays straightforward.
Choosing how to cover self-storage facilities should not be complicated.

If you want cost effective, operator quality coverage for your self-storage clients without building your own monitoring center, 1Degree is built for that.
Self-storage facilities are commonly unmanned for most of the day, spread across long rows of units, and targeted by lock cutting that takes only seconds. 1Degree’s operators are trained to watch for that pattern specifically, so your monitoring company can offer real coverage for this vertical instead of a generic camera watch service.
A regional monitoring company added a group of self-storage facilities to its client base. Rather than hiring and training new operators to cover the added camera load, it used 1Degree’s white label bench to monitor the new sites under its own brand. Coverage extended to gates, perimeters, and unit rows, with live voice down and video verified dispatch for after-hours activity, while the monitoring company kept the client relationship and billing on its side.
Open lots need coverage that spans wide areas and deters vehicle break-ins.
Active sites need after-hours coverage for equipment and material theft.
Lots full of high value inventory need constant perimeter and lot monitoring.
We only work with monitoring companies, alarm dealers, and security integrators. We do not sell monitoring directly to self-storage operators, so we are never a competitor to your client relationships.
Yes. That is a common setup for self-storage. Most of the facilities we help cover run with a keypad gate and cameras but no staff on-site for much of the day.
Detection happens live, and a trained operator can respond with voice down deterrence or escalation as the activity is happening, not days later when a tenant discovers a cut lock.
Yes. We can take over an existing self-storage monitoring setup without a gap in coverage.
Yes. Coverage is delivered under your brand. Your clients see your company, not ours.
Cost effective pricing and a larger, more active bench of trained operators, combined with AI assisted detection tuned for self-storage risks.
Yes. Many monitoring companies start with a small group of self-storage facilities before expanding coverage across their full client base.
A rough count of cameras and facilities, plus the coverage hours you need. From there we can scope onboarding.
