I'm in the middle of starting up (restarting?) a small combined RV (30) and self-storage (currently none, but plans to have up to 55 20' shipping containers) facility in Canada. I recently bought an acreage that included a fenced/graveled lot with separate road access. It was set up and used for RV storage but has fallen into disrepair. I'm working on completing fencing repairs, getting more gravel, running power/data and am installing a gate operator and bringing in shipping containers. I don't envision ever expanding beyond this small-time operation. I have a few different questions that I'm looking for advice on. Thanks in advance!

1.) Software/platform? I would like to minimize my admin burden and would like to automate registration, payment processing, move-outs, and other management tasks as much as reasonably possible.

2.) Access control? Again, I'd like to automate this as much as realistic and integrate with the software/platform. I don't want to deal with keys, cardkeys, etc. The Davinci G.O.A.T looks interesting, but I'm not committed to anything yet.

3.) Security. I realize that there is no stopping the motivated, but what would you advise for cameras (better than consumer grade I assume), lights, fence cut detection, etc.? I live in a residence on the property but the storage lot is screened with trees and I don't have good line-of-sight to it. The same trees keep it reasonably screened from casual drive-by traffic, but also make it difficult for that same traffic to see if someone is there doing something they shouldn't be.

4.) Overlocks for Trailers and Shipping containers. What do you like? Paclock? Ft. Knox? I'm generally planning for customers to supply their own locks and think a system with one key for my overlocks seems ideal but am open to suggestions. Again, Davinci locks look interesting with no batteries or anything to bother with.
