Self-Storage Facilities Solutions
Low Voltage Systems for Self-Storage Facilities & Storage Portfolios
Gate entry, door access, perimeter video and site networks for storage properties that stay open after the office closes.
Data Pro Communications installs gate entry, access control, security cameras and networks for self-storage facilities across Florida. We work with owners, operators, developers and general contractors on drive-up properties, climate-controlled buildings and multi-site storage portfolios. One licensed crew handles the gate, the office and every camera on the property.
Your gate is the front door of the business. Tenants expect their code to work the first time, and managers need a clear record of who came through and when. We plan entry, video and the network together, so the site keeps running smoothly when no one is behind the counter.

Challenges in Self-Storage Environments
Storage properties are spread out, exposed to Florida weather and often unstaffed for long stretches. Those conditions shape every system we install.
Gate Entry That Fails Under Load
Worn keypads and aging telephone entry units frustrate tenants and pull managers away from rentals.
Long, Dark Drive Aisles
Rows of units and back fence lines leave large areas outside any camera view, especially after sunset.
Buildings Far from the Office
Outer buildings and rear gates often sit beyond the distance a standard copper run can reach.
Unstaffed Access Hours
Tenants may use the gate long after the office closes, so entry and video must work without staff on site.
Disconnected Systems
Gate controllers, door readers and cameras from different vendors make it hard to match an entry to the right footage.
Integrated Systems Built for Self-Storage Operations
We plan gate entry, access control, cameras and the network as one system for your facility. Cameras are aimed at the gate lanes, keypads and building doors. That way, recorded video lines up with the entry points your access system logs.
At the gate, DoorKing telephone entry and keypads handle tenant and visitor entry, and DoorKing operators move swing or slide gates. PDK Red Gate outdoor controllers can manage gate access through the pdk.io cloud platform. Inside, Brivo Access secures the office, interior hallway doors and staff areas, with mobile credentials for your team.
On larger properties, fiber or wireless links carry video and gate data from outer buildings back to the office. The same design can repeat at every facility in your portfolio.

Self-Storage Project Experience
These Central Florida projects show the outdoor, gate and perimeter work a storage property needs.
Our Process
Assessment
We walk the gate, drive aisles, fences and office with your manager. Distances to outer buildings and existing power and conduit are recorded on the site plan.
Design
Drawings place each keypad, reader, camera and network link. The plan also shows how tenants keep gate access during the cutover.
Deployment
Crews stage gate work in short windows so tenants are not locked out. Trenching and pole work are scheduled around office hours and weather.
Commissioning
We test gate entry, each door, every camera view and all network links. Your team then receives labeled records and a walkthrough of the system.
