Case Study: Toy Storage achieves instant cloud video access and rapid incident response with Genetec Stratocast

How a specialty storage site protects high-value property using cloud monitoring

Toy Storage, a Denver-based small business that offers 64 private garage units for high-value vehicles, needed to replace an aging analog surveillance system that produced grainy images, failed frequently, and forced board members to spend hours retrieving footage. To get faster, higher-resolution access to video and simplify management, the company chose Genetec’s Stratocast™ cloud-based video monitoring solution on the recommendation of integrator Secure View.

Genetec’s Stratocast was deployed with four Axis 180° IP cameras and configured by Secure View as a bundled monthly service, enabling board members to view live and motion‑bookmarked recordings from phones or laptops and export evidence in minutes (one incident was resolved in five minutes). The cloud system was up and running in a day, cut camera count from 10 to 4 while improving coverage, allowed frame‑rate optimization for key areas, and delivered an affordable, all‑inclusive subscription model—with potential insurance savings and greater confidence in site security.
