Columbus Storage Security – Video Cameras

admin — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 01:05:09 +0000

Digital video cameras are a great security feature offered by many Columbus self storage facilities.

Here’s a short overview of how a video security system works.

Most Columbus storage facilities use at least 4 cameras. Most of the time there are more cameras to get a good view of every part of the facility. These cameras record video frames at rates of 2 to 10 per second. So you are not talking about continuous video, but a sequence of still images.

The video images from all different cameras are recorded on a digital video recorder. A 500 Gbyte recorder can hold weeks of imagery of your self storage facility, if you select a rate of only 2 frames per second.

Each image is time coded. This means that you can review the videos and see what happened at the self storage at a certain point of time.

Another neat feature of a modern video surveillance system is that the cameras can capture infrared images. Using invisible diods you can see what’s happening at the mini storage even at complete darkness. And you don’t need any outside lights.

Digital video surveillance systems are not very expensive. They start as low as $300 for a simple 4 camera system and can go up to several thousand dollars. The higher end system at the bottom of this page offers excellent surveillance capabilities for a self storage as well as for you home use. Click on the images for details!

Homeless Girls Move Into A Self Storage Facility

admin — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 17:24:05 +0000

Here’s a funny video about 2 girls who got evicted from their apartment. So they decide to move into a Self Storage facility.

Enjoy this video! It tells the adventures of the girls dealing with their storage manager and “enjoying” life in a self storage facility.

In real life you can’t move into a Columbus storage facility, if you are homeless. However, you can store all your belongings at a very reasonable rate.

If you need a place to store household items, furniture and other belongings just call your Hilliard Self Storage at Westbelt and ask for its special rental offers.

Columbus Self Storage Auction Creates True Bargains

admin — Sat, 18 Sep 2010 19:41:40 +0000

We attended a Columbus self storage auction this morning and it’s hard to believe what kind of bargains you can get there. I am talking pennies (or less) on the dollar.

This Columbus storage auction was not very well attended. Only two bidders showed up, but there were 10 self storage units to sell. Many of the units contained the typical household items, such as furniture, beds, mattresses and old TVs.

Most of these units sold for $10 or $5.

Incredible! I am sure you can pick just one of the items in these units and sell them for more on Craigslist or Ebay.

One of the self storage units had a motorbike (without a tank) and a professional toolbox. This one went for $175!

Watch the Columbus Self Storage auction announcements, if you want to buy deals like this in the future.

How Self Storage Facilities Benefit your Small Business

admin — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 21:06:59 +0000

Besides saving you space in your home or office when you store inventory or documentation at a Columbus storage facility, it is also a very cost effective solution to your storage needs. Coupled with convenience this makes renting a storage facility a smart choice.

Why You Should Rent Storage for your Business

Naturally, the main reason why any small business should choose Columbus storage is because of the savings involved. It simply makes good financial sense. Although you could rent an office space it is certainly a much more expensive option. A square foot of office space will cost you double that what it would be at a self storage facility.

If you own a contracting company that requires you to visit different sites for certain periods of time, then mini storage is a logical choice. All the supplies and materials can be stored away from the site and kept safe and secure.

Storage is Ideal for Many Different Businesses?

If you own a small home-based business that involves sales then chances are that you need to have stock available. Instead of turning your home or office, depending which one you operate from, into a warehouse, you could choose to hire a self storage facility instead. Even if you are a bookkeeper or freelance paralegal, mini storage can still benefit you as somewhere to keep your important documentation.

Columbus storage facilities can be particularly beneficial for landscapers and similar businesses. On the one hand they have peace of mind knowing that their supplies are safe and secure, and on the other hand they may even be able to hold meetings at the facility.

How to locate Self Storage Facilities

The choice of which facility to use is not difficult, as there are many available from which to choose. A good place to begin is on the Internet. You will be able to determine if there are any units near to you and you will more than likely find a few. Also, check the websites of big businesses as they often provide information on mini storage facilities. And do not neglect to check if the storage facilities near you are running any specials or holding any promotions, as this can result in further savings for you.

Securing the Best Possible Deal

Because there are so many self storage facilities they are always in competition with each other in order to gain customers, namely you. When you meet with a representative from one you should ask them about any specials or promos they may offer. Chances are they will not volunteer this info so do not forget to ask. Also, if you are aware of a facility offering a better deal use that to negotiate with other facilities. Negotiating may be necessary, so be prepared.

Many Columbus storage companies reward their clients, if they refer more business to them, so do not neglect to ask if the companies you are meeting with pay referral fees. Also, remember that the Internet is a wonderful resource so use it. More storage companies are targeting online shoppers than ever before and you could find a very good deal this way.

Using self storage does not only make good financial sense but practical sense, as well. If you own a small business or a home-based one you will find that storage can make a world of difference. Once you have done your homework you will be able to choose the best, most affordable and beneficial storage facility available.
