Vantiva has unveiled the Vantiva Peek, a patent-pending smart camera equipped with motion, humidity, and temperature sensors, specifically designed for self-storage rental units.
Exclusively available through Vantiva’s self-storage operator partners, Vantiva Peek offers a comprehensive in-unit monitoring solution. Renters can access real-time and recorded camera images, as well as sensor data, and receive automated alerts via a monthly service subscription to the Peek app.
“Vantiva Peek in-unit monitoring is the killer app the self-storage industry has been waiting for,” said Reza Raji, Senior Vice President of Vantiva Smart Spaces IoT. “This solution meets consumers’ expectations for smart security while adapting to the branding and business needs of self-storage operators at any scale.”
Through the Peek mobile app, renters have 24/7 access to the current conditions and camera feed of their unit. The camera can capture still images or photo bursts upon detecting motion or at user-defined intervals. The app provides automated alerts for events such as motion detection, excessive humidity, or temperatures outside the safe range for stored items.
Designed to withstand the harsh conditions of self-storage facilities, Peek cameras utilise Vantiva’s next-generation wireless infrastructure, ensuring connectivity in large facilities constructed from concrete and steel. Camera features include:
- A wide-angle lens for a comprehensive view of the entire unit
- Night vision capability
- Long-range, low-power wireless technology
- Quick installation with a built-in magnetic backing
- Battery life exceeding two years, powered by easily replaceable AA batteries
In-unit visual monitoring has become a highly desirable differentiator for self-storage facilities. “Consumers are increasingly willing to pay for video features and coming to expect always-on monitoring. For example, video doorbells are now the most common smart home devices, with 22% of households owning one,” explained Elizabeth Parks, President and CMO, Parks Associates. “Real-time visual evidence is particularly valuable in applications such as home security, self-storage monitoring, and remote property management, where understanding the exact nature of an event is crucial for appropriate responses.”
Vantiva Peek is a simple, cost-effective solution that instantly upgrades any storage unit into a smart space. This development marks the latest strategic milestone in Vantiva’s commitment to providing innovative IoT technologies that enhance the intelligence of various spaces.
