Museums and galleries have unique security requirements: protecting valuable exhibits while allowing visitors to view them. PIR sensors offer a discreet, reliable solution.<\/p>\n
PIR sensors placed near valuable exhibits detect anyone approaching too closely or attempting to touch. They can trigger alarms or notify security.<\/p>\n
After hours, PIR sensors protect galleries from intruders. Curtain lenses create invisible barriers across doorways and windows.<\/p>\n
Count visitors entering and exiting to manage capacity and analyze traffic patterns.<\/p>\n
While not primary, PIR can detect presence of people who might affect humidity\/temperature in sensitive areas.<\/p>\n
Sensors must be small and unobtrusive, not detracting from the art. Ceiling-mounted or hidden in exhibit cases.<\/p>\n
False alarms are unacceptable \u2013 they desensitize security. High-quality sensors with good false-alarm rejection are essential.<\/p>\n
Must be able to precisely define detection area to avoid triggering on visitors at normal viewing distance.<\/p>\n
Sensors can be painted to match surroundings (with IR-transparent paint).<\/p>\n
Create a detection “bubble” around the exhibit, typically 0.5-1m from the object. Multiple sensors may be needed for 360\u00b0 coverage.<\/p>\n
Provides discreet coverage of large areas without visible sensors on walls.<\/p>\n
Sensors inside cases detect if case is opened or if hand enters.<\/p>\n
PIR sensors connect to the museum’s security panel. They can be zoned to identify which exhibit is threatened.<\/p>\n
The Louvre uses thousands of PIR sensors throughout its galleries. They are integrated with the central security system and have virtually eliminated false alarms while providing reliable protection.<\/p>\n
