Art show-exhibition security and art theft prevention has a new technology solution!
AVANTE ART-GUARDIAN™ RFID Real-Time Locating and Monitoring System to provide art theft prevention and unparalleled security to your valuable Collectibles. ART-GUARDIAN is an ideal adjunct to and supplement for existing gallery and museum security systems.
Securing valuable art and collections in museums and galleries, in art shows and exhibitions, against theft or loss is a highly demanding process which depends a lot on people to execute the correct procedures at all times. Even with the best efforts, substantial and sometimes disappointing losses cannot be prevented.
AVANTE ART-GUARDIAN™ RFID art security and theft prevention system was developed to provide 24/7/365 protection for fine art, antiques, and valuable collections. This patented intelligent protection and monitoring system uses the best of wireless and communication technologies to provide a cost effective solution. ART-GUARDIAN™ Provides tracking and monitoring and services in private homes, yachts, museums and galleries.
With the ability to quickly setup and tear down, as proven in many tradeshows and exhibitions using the AVANTE active RFID solution, this specially configured AVANTE ART-GUARDIAN™ RFID art and collectible security solution can help to prevent art and collectible theft during sale and exhibition events.
The principles and utility of this patented art and collectible security technology are simple to use and understand:
-
A miniature low-profile RFID ZONER™ tag with temperature, humidity and motion sensors is attached directly with non-destructive adhesive to the valuable piece to be monitored and protected. The RFID ZONER™ tag is normally placed covertly behind a painting, underneath an antique or protective casing, or the holder of the specific valuable.
-
Authorized staff and security personnel are encouraged to wear the RFID ZONER™ badges.
-
Each RFID ZONER™ tag transmits and communicates every second to the monitoring RTLS.
-
A grid of real-time locating RFID RELAYER™ readers is installed around the perimeter of the area to be protected.
-
Exception rules based on movement, position, temperature and humidity, and who among the authorized personnel is around are used to provide exception reporting in real-time. All other data are collected and may be viewed in synchronization with the IP-video or other CCTV monitoring system.
-
The system provides alerts and alarms well before canvass is cut or protective casing is broken.
-
The RFID ZONER™ tag and RELAYER™ readers are covert and self-monitoring to prevent any tampering.
ART-GUARDIAN™ art and collectible security system uses robust IP-based communications and built-in wireless redundancy besides interfacing with existing security system:
-
The RTLS is IP-based and data can be monitored from anywhere and anytime.
-
Communications and exceptions are normally fed directly and synchronized with other security system but also reported independently whenever there is exception.
-
Monitoring software uses .NET web-based framework to provide seamless and easy integration and communication via web services with legacy systems and other security systems.
-
An additional safety feature of on-demand real-time reporting is a common feature on all personnel RFID ZONER™ badges in case of emergency or need for additional help.
-
This system works 24/7/365 independent of other security systems. The RFID ZONER™ tag and badge batteries last at least 5 years.
-
AVANTE also provides backup monitoring data center services, for redundancy and archival of data, for customers that needed them.
-
The costs for the system, installation, and services are minimal in comparison to security staff.
