How Store More 365 Opened With a Custom 28-Camera System

Store More 365’s owners had no prior experience with security systems. SCW joined during early construction and designed a 28-camera system, using site maps to show exactly what they would get before opening day.

01 · The Problem

The Problem

When customers trust you with their most valued possessions, you rely on secure, reliable 24/7 surveillance. That was the case for Kristan James, owner of Store More 365, a new storage facility in Wauconda, Illinois.

Kristan and her husband engaged SCW during the early construction phase so they could put a solution in place and confidently open by their planned date in spring 2023.

With extra-large units, wide drive aisles, and RV, boat, and auto storage, they needed a complete security system designed from the ground up. With no prior security experience, they chose SCW for its easy-to-use, customer-focused solutions.

02 · The Solution

The Solution

Working with SCW’s Brandt, the team went through extensive design and planning to address every requirement for the facility. The goal was a secure, scalable camera system covering the entire facility on one platform.

Brandt designed a full system and used site maps to give the owners a clear picture of what to expect. After several revisions, the 28-camera system delivered included:

03 · The Result

The Result

After nearly a year of collaboration, SCW delivered a 28-camera system designed around the facility’s specific security needs.

Every area, from the extra-large units and wide drive aisles to the RV, boat, and auto storage, is under surveillance, so customers’ belongings are always covered.

The relationship continued after installation, with Brandt helping Kristan and her husband feel confident in their setup.

Brandt has been a beacon of support throughout this journey. His dedication to understanding our needs meant that we didn’t just get a generic system; we got one that was tailored for Store More 365. It was evident that he was more of a consultant than a mere salesman. The equipment we received was top-notch, and the value for the price was unmatched.
