subject: Technology In Self Storage Calgary [print this page] The self storage culture is on the rise in Calgary. But self storages have come a long way. Right from being those neighborhood buildings where people rent cheap secure space to store their stuff to high-tech buildings, which make sure that your possessions are easier to store and more secure.
Technology has pervaded every aspect of our lives, making it better, reducing labor and shortcomings of the current system. Here is how technology has helped in the betterment of self storages in Calgary:
*Infrared Alarms: You no longer need to worry about the safety of your possessions, thanks to infrared alarms. The entire place has infrared alarms that are connected to sensors. This means that they detect any human activity that happens around them. In case anything enters the cordoned off area, the alarm rings. The thieves have virtually no respite from this. The only way out is to disable the alarm. So all a self storage manager needs to do is to keep a watch on the alarms.
*Closed Circuit Cameras: Another major technological breakthrough was the advent of closed circuit cameras. The entire area can be watched from a single room. What's more, the entire thing can be videotaped and seen later. So even if the security personnel miss the crook, they can always come back to catch him or her, that too with strong evidence.
*Solar Lighting: Energy costs are typically the largest chunk for any self storage manager. If the energy management is perfect, then the pricing will be perfect, so will the occupancy and profits. This has been made possible with technology.
*Climate-Controlled Self storages: Another breakthrough has been the advent of climate controlling technologies. They were a hit with self storages almost instantly. This was even more the case in Calgary. So man is no longer a slave to nature, and you need not worry about natural conditions damaging your possessions. With the advent of technology, the heating and humidity of your self storage unit can be controlled to prevent any damage and increase user benefits.
*Online Quotations: Getting quotations was once a tough job. You would either have to go all over Calgary to figure out what self storages cost or make long phone calls, that too during business hours, so you had to give up productive work to do this. Now with the Internet, you can ask for a quote whenever you need this. Online applications will give you a good estimate. Some also give you a virtual tour. So you can actually look at the facility without leaving your house.
*Equipment: Technology has also brought considerable operational ease in self storages in Calgary. What once upon a time, what required multiple laborers to pick up and move with considerable time and difficulty can be effortlessly executed by a machine in a few minutes. So all you need to do is waiting and watch how the machines magically put everything into your storage unit in the most effective manner.
*Multi Levels: Technology has also allowed for better utilization of space. Self storage facilities in Calgary can now be multi leveled in case they have enough equipment to make sure your possessions reach your unit effortlessly.
