MY Storage has point to point beams located in different areas of the container storage complex. These beams are activated at night and are monitored by a local Nelson security firm.  My Storage has recently installed high definition IP security cameras in various locations of the Storage Complex, continuously monitoring the complex 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  There is also an option for individually alarmed units. An extra fee is charged for a fully alarmed unit. If an unauthorized person attempted to enter a unit, it will activate the alarm which will notify the security firm who will then investigate. These alarmed units are monitored 24/7.  To secure the unit a padlock is required, that you need to supply, or for your convenience, can be purchased from the Richmond office.
