Security is paramount at Blue Box!
Security of goods stored is provided at a site wide level and at an individual storage unit level.
Blue Box Storage have invested in the latest and best available Gallagher Security alarm monitored electrified perimeter fence coupled with a client specific electronic swipe access system which operates a motorised single point entry/exit gate. Movement in, out and around the Blue Box Storage site is recorded using a number of CCTV surveillance cameras operating at the main gate point of entry/exit and at other locations on the site.
Individual storage units are fitted with steel lock boxes which, when used with a purpose built padbolt, makes it extremely difficult to gain unauthorised access to the individual storage unit.
- Electric Perimeter Fence (Alarm monitored)
- Electronic Access Sytem (Entry and Exit)
- Electric motorised main entry/exit gate
- CCTV surveillance system
- Dusk to dawn lighting
- Motion activated lighting.
- All units constructed with corten steel
- All units have factory fitted steel lock box
- We recommend use of padbolt (in conjunction with steel lock box)
- Normal padlocks can be used to secure container lock rods.
Each customer has a unique electronic swipe access tag that grants them entry and exit to and from the storage facility 24/7. The access control system records entry and exit time to assist with identifying which customers are on site or have been on site at any given time.
To access the site just wave your swipe access tag in front of the proximity reader situated on the left hand side of the gate. No numbers to remember and key-in just swipe your tag in front of the reader and the gate will open.
Once your electronic swipe access tag has registered with our access control system it will send a signal to the motorised single access point electric gate to open to allow customers access. It will remain open for 16 seconds and then commence closing if, and only if, the safety beams are not obstructed. If the beam is obstructed the gate will not close until the beam detects that the obstruction no longer exists. Customers must use their swipe access tags to open the gate at entry and exit. There are proximity readers situated on each side of the gate for this purpose.
The Alfred Street perimeter fence has been electrified to provide a first point of defence from intruders. The 26 wire electric fence system has been installed using top quality Gallagher Security components and will set off an internal alarm upon any breach of the fence. The electric fence will be live at most times but may be switched off when Blue Box Storage staff are on site during normal business hours. For your own safety, always assume the fence is live and do not touch it!
