As self storage continues to move toward smarter, more automated operations, Sentinel Storage Security is proud to introduce a new capability designed to enhance both convenience and on-site control: Sentinel Keypads with Geofenced Access.
Geofencing allows operators to establish a virtual perimeter around their facility. When an authorised customer enters the boundary, Sentinel Access Control can automatically prepare or initiate access — from gates and doors to lifts and loading areas — all while maintaining strict authentication and event-logging standards.
A Smarter Arrival Experience
With geofencing, customers no longer need to stop, unlock their phone, open an app or type a code. Access becomes seamless, predictable and secure:
- The customer approaches the facility
- Their device is detected as it enters the geofence
- Sentinel verifies their credentials
- Access is prepared or activated based on operator settings
- Every action is logged via Sentinel Anyware
The result is a smoother, more intuitive arrival experience that removes friction without compromising site security.
Built for Modern Self Storage
Geofenced Access Control is designed around the realities of today’s storage sites:
- Unmanned and remotely managed facilities needing reliable automation
- High-volume customer traffic where convenience matters
- Tighter security expectations from insurers and operators
- Event-driven control that aligns access with verified presence, not guesswork
This feature supports a growing industry shift toward smarter environments where hardware, software and customer behaviour work in harmony.
Strengthening Sentinel Anyware
Geofencing integrates directly with the upcoming Sentinel Anyware cloud platform, providing operators with clearer visibility, cleaner logs and more intelligent access behaviour. It adds another layer to Sentinel’s vision of highly responsive, self-aware sites that can be managed from anywhere.
Innovation Built for Self Storage
As Australasia’s only specialist integrator dedicated exclusively to self storage, Sentinel continues to build technologies designed specifically for the environments operators work in daily.
Geofenced Access Control is one more step toward truly seamless, intelligent site management — and there is more to come.
