Traditional security companies can provide excellent intrusion-detection systems and solutions, but few security outfits provide the level of asset monitoring and protraction that historical documents require. The Boudinot Agency can provide comprehensive coverage of museums and galleries that house fragile and priceless items.
Because we understand the importance and delicacy required in preserving documents and artifacts, we use only the highest-quality environmental sensors to detect temperature changes, moisture levels, light intensities, and other hazards. These sensors can be used to operate climate control zones and complement theft-deterrent sensors simultaneously.
We also specialize in wireless vibration sensors, focused and saturation based motion-detection devices, as well as software-controlled closed-circuit video cameras. Multiple sensing solutions can be customized for entryways and display areas, and all information is routed to a central location for recording and real-time monitoring. Any violation of the configurable environmental parameters will prompt a multi-level alert that can instantly trigger alarms and send relevant information to cell phones and pagers or law enforcement agencies, including exact sensor readouts, site maps of the triggered sensors, and other configurable information. Invisible inventory numbers can be written, etched, or otherwise attached to artifacts to aid in identification and recovery. These numbers are recorded in a registrar's computerized catalog connected to the security system database and the Boudinot Agency's off-site backups.
The Boudinot Agency has installed security systems across North America at museums, libraries and private collections – securing, preserving and protecting millions of dollars of precious client assets.
