Problem

Break-ins and other security incidents caused tenant losses and insurance claims. Extra Space Storage wanted intervention before incidents caused extensive damage.

Approach

Extra Space adopted OpenTech Alliance's SmartEye service in 2019 and expanded it to hundreds of properties. AI monitoring worked with a live security team using existing CCTV. Staff issued audio warnings and contacted authorities when needed.

Results

No published figures

Takeaway

The service paired detection with human intervention. The reported reduction in claims costs had no disclosed aggregate amount.
