As you click on ‘Instant Quotation’, you will have to enter the details such as your name, facility name, email, and phone number.

Select the number of keypad terminals you would require for your facility by adjusting the slider.

Keypad types:

Display Keypad can be used at both points of the facility i.e., entry and exit. As tenants come to the facility, they must enter the access code to be allowed to their units. Generally, it displays information such as Storage Facility name, date, and time. However, when the access code is entered, the code will not be displayed, rather it will display the characters masked.

Without Display Keypad is a simple device with only a keypad. It can be used at both the entry and exit points of the storage facility. When tenants get out of the facility, they must enter the access code in the keypad to come out through the exit point.

A facility may have any number of entry and exit points; however, you can buy only up to 20 display keypads, 20 without display keypads, 20 water-resistant touch screen keypads.

Water Resistant Touchscreen keypad:

An IP65 waterproof keypad with a capacitive touchscreen which can be used either or for both entry and exit purposes. As tenants come to the facility or exit from the facility, they must enter the access code to be allowed into or exit from their units.

Select the number of storage units for which you would like to buy alarms.

Choose the type of alarm that would best suit your storage facility from the given options.

Alarm Types

Door magnet and interface:

These are applied to the unit doors. The most traditional Self Storage unit alarm system. However, it does not protect if there are intrusion attempts through the mesh or from a neighboring unit.

Dual technology IR/Microwave sensors:

These guarantee total protection to your unit as they allow better integration with facility lights as they sense a person’s presence in the unit. Our recommended solution.

Your own door or volumetric sensors purchased independently:

Since our system is compatible with most third-party sensors, we shall provide suitable interfaces. You can integrate any third-party sensors with our resources.

Choose from the optional components such as Electric locks + relay connectors and interfaces, flood sensors, and wireless door alarms which you would like to install at your units.

Electric Locks at unit:

Electric locks help lock a unit remotely and to avoid false alarms from tenants who don’t insert code at the main door. A simple electric lock with manual override and a button with LED light to activate it from outside the unit.

Wireless Flood Sensor:

Wireless Flood Sensor is an electronic device designed to detect the presence of water leakage and alerts on time to prevent accidents. The device creates an audible alarm alongside providing onward signaling to bridge the contacts.

Wireless door alarms:

Wireless door sensors are used mainly for emergency purposes when someone leaves the unit without locking, the sensors automatically lock the unit. Whenever the door is opened, the sensor will be activated and send a signal to the system. It detects if the tenant is out of the unit and locks the unit automatically.

Select the region to where you want the purchased items to be shipped. As you select the region, you will be prompted to enter your address details such as country, city, and pin code.

Pick the type of installation from the three given options.

Two-day setup: One technician will be assigned to your site to verify the panel and test the system. This quotation does not include travel expenses which may vary according to the location.

Full installation: Two technicians on site will verify the panel and test the system. The whole process may take up to a week.

Only remote configuration: Installation will have to be taken care by your local technical staff. If your local electrical installer has prior experience in any Demotic projects, they may be able to implement the 6security system. However, our English-speaking staff would assist them remotely through phone and email communication.

Once you choose the installation type, click on ‘Submit’ and the quotation will be sent to the given email address.

Now, click on the Configuration tab, enter your phone number, and click on Register.

6Security can only be configured specific to locations. Select the location from the dropdown to which 6Security has to be configured. All the fields in the Configuration Details tab are mandatory whereas fields such as Username, Password, API key, Secret key are automatically filled and cannot be edited. Enter details for other fields such as User code, IP Address, Port Number, and Unit Reactivation Time and click Save.

*Every Cloud Panel has a separate cloud address and password. At the time of configuration, the static IP address and port details will be obtained from clients and merged with the cloud address. *The Unit Reactivation Time implies the time it takes to reopen the unit after it gets locked.

Add a time zone in which tenants can access the facility. You can give a name and description for the chosen time zone and also select access days and timings for the same. Saving one at a time, multiple time zones can be added.

Assign keypads to the terminals based on the location so that tenants can enter their code to gain access to the facility. Keypad allocations ensure that the hardware is synced to the cloud panel.

Activity log captures the activities and events that have taken place over a period of time.

Now that the configuration is done, our technicians will perform a test Move-in to cross verify if the Gate Access Code is updated at the backend. If the Move-in is successful and the Code reflects accurately, then your 6Security configuration is successfully completed.
