Main risks for museums and art collections
Understanding and mitigating potential risks is paramount to ensuring the safety of priceless artworks, historical assets, and visitors.
-
Traditional museum operations depend heavily on physical patrols and visual checks, making surveillance labor-intensive, vulnerable to human oversight, and inefficient for dynamic or expanding collections.
-
Conventional security infrastructure typically alerts staff after an intrusion or theft has occurred, failing to provide early proximity warnings or real-time environmental monitoring.
-
Key security tools often operate in isolated silos, lacking a unified platform to deliver centralized, real-time safety information and immediate incident locations.

The Securitas artwork protection suite is designed to be virtually invisible to visitors. It utilizes ultra-thin, wireless Active RFID sensors concealed directly behind paintings, mounted inside display cases, or attached to object bases. Additionally, invisible 2D and 3D laser barriers create virtual protective zones around freestanding sculptures or open wall displays, eliminating the need for intrusive physical rope barriers or stanchions. The sensors feature ultra-long battery lifespans (10+ years), drastically reducing the need to handle or move delicate artworks for maintenance.
