Your Storage Property
A storage unit with its own alarm is a top feature tenants are willing to pay extra for across all generations.*
SmartMotion gives you the opportunity to create a new revenue stream by offering the device as a premium add-on for a small monthly subscription. Each active unit becomes a source of predictable, recurring income, letting your facility capture value from tenants who are willing to pay for enhanced storage unit monitoring.
Over time, even a modest number of subscriptions can add up to a meaningful boost in your bottom line.

Thieves are getting more creative
From cutting through shared walls to tunneling into units, thieves are finding ways around traditional self storage security systems. The fallout from these break-ins extends beyond a single tenant, forcing your team to deal with unhappy tenants, site repairs, reputation damage, and service disruptions.
Offer Premium Storage Unit Protection with Proactive Motion Detection
Anticipate risks before they escalate with an in-unit motion sensor that detects motion, sends alerts, and tracks activity directly in the IoE Control Center.
Designed to send email & sms notifications directly to tenants, SmartMotion does more than provide you with a critical layer of storage unit monitoring. It creates new revenue opportunities for your facility.

Flexible Coverage Wherever You Need It
Close visibility gaps throughout your entire facility. With a convenient magnetic backing and simple reassignment capability in the IoE Control Center, SmartMotion is a great way to create transparency across common indoor areas where unauthorized access is most likely to occur.
SmartMotion can help you monitor blind spots your current security system might miss in:
- Hallways and interior corridors
- Office and customer-facing areas
- Staff-only or restricted spaces
Use the devices to strengthen facility coverage, monitor activity in high-traffic indoor areas, and gain deeper insights into site trends and tenant behavior.
Contact our team to find out how SmartMotion can provide in-unit monitoring and increase your visibility into site trends across your facility.
Bring Unit-Level Activity Into Focus
Turn Motion Into Insight
Part of the IoE ecosystem, SmartMotion tracks unit-level activity directly in your Control Center, giving your team clear visibility into each unit without the burden of learning a new system.
By keeping all activity within the same platform, SmartMotion lets you start monitoring motion events instantly alongside your existing facility events. Its dedicated dashboard also proactively updates your team on each device’s status.
Together, this helps you strengthen storage unit visibility, uncover new insights into site activity, and turn unit-level monitoring into a new revenue opportunity for your self storage facility.
Give Storage Tenants Peace of Mind
SmartMotion automatically notifies tenants by SMS or email whenever motion is detected in their unit. Each message gives them a simple way to confirm whether the activity was expected.
If the tenant confirms it was authorized, the event is resolved automatically. If they indicate it was not, SmartMotion flags the activity as an alert in your IoE Control Center dashboard and sends an sms or email notification to team members who are subscribed to alerts.
This two-way communication keeps tenants engaged and ensures your facility stays on top of storage unit security.
