Designed for protecting ‘Art’
Galleries, museums, private collectors, corporations and public institutions can now protect valuable works of art, paintings, installations and ceramics where conventional security systems are inadequate or even turned off (during viewing times).
Real time
The system displays the real-time location and status of any tagged artwork on a second-by-second basis, and will immediately alarm if it is disturbed in a way that breaks the programmable alarm rules.
Tags
Tags are credit card size or smaller and are discretely attached to works of art. They are in constant radio communication with radio frequency identification sensors located in the protected areas.
Tags can have different functionality; e.g., tags for art on display contain vibration sensors - if a piece is moved without authorisation a "real-time" gallery alarm is generated in the software, giving security controllers information about the incident as it happens. Buddy tags can be used to enable moving protected pieces within a defined area.
The software audits the collection nearly 6,000 times a day, displaying the up-to-date location of all tagged works.
All tags contain a magnetic tamper switch to detect when a tag is removed. |
