Museum Painting Alarms

Paintings are some of the most valuable and most vulnerable objects in any museum. Xtra-Sense painting alarms protect them without touching the frame.

Xtra-Sense Painting Alarms protect wall hung objects such as pictures, paintings and framed works. The detector does not need to be attached to the painting, so there is no drilling into frames, no adhesive on the back and nothing to upset a conservator. Lift the work off the wall and the alarm sounds.

Major museums hold collections that are irreplaceable and on open display to thousands of visitors a day. Security has to work during opening hours without getting in the way of the visitor experience or the curators.

The alarm can also trigger the wider security set-up, such as CCTV cameras, voice messages, pagers or lighting, through hard wiring or common wireless transmission systems. Small site or big site, it slots in.

Xtra-Sense Ltd designs and manufactures its security and safety products in Honiton, Devon, and has been solving awkward security problems since 2000. Call 01404 43366 or email security@xtra-sense.co.uk to talk it through.
