Prevention of damage from touching
We have three different approaches where electronic security can
minimise accidental damage from touching of open displays by the public.
These are: an infra red detector, a "curtain" barrier created by a portable PIR and a proximity alarm ATS.
In all cases these systems work much better as the second layer of security
behind some form of marking like a white line on the floor, rope
barrier of course or slightly raised plinth. |
ChimeAlert
Provides area protection within a room upto 5m (typical of a historic home
open to the public). A portable passive infrared detects movement in the
zone. It is battery operated. Product was developed in conjunction with the National Trust.
If someone wanders into the zone, they hear a loud double door chime.

BarrierPIR
A unit commonly fitted to the ceiling (or floor). A curtain of
protection can be narrowed or tilted to protect the desired space or
object. Units can be set up to protect a non linear space.
Two units (painted black) protect a right angle. The plinth
provides the first layer of protection.

ATS (AntiTouch)
The ultimate in Anti Touch.
A capacitance solution for use where for example the art is displayed on a plinth
or protection field requires exceptional control (e.g. dining table display) or where the other
two less expensive solutions are not practical (e.g. a costume).
