• Intelligent electronics - Art Guard's simplicity allows any facility to employ it to prevent the most commonplace theft, that of simply removing an object from the wall and walking out the door with it concealed in clothing or a bag.

• Reliable – Not only is Art Guard highly resistant to tampering and failure, it is on for 24 hours, 7 days a week. Unlike motion detectors, it is not turned off when the public is present. Art Guard minimizes the possibility of human error because of its ease of use – One full year of battery life - just change the batteries as they wear out (there is a protracted and very audible low battery signal to minimize the possibility of battery failure, similar to that in a household fire alarm).

• Easy to use – Employing Art Guard is as simple as hanging a piece of art or an object in the normal manner.

• Flexible – Limitations dictated by heights of the ceiling, shape of the rooms, composition of the walls, the need to accommodate changing shows and the inviolable nature of the work itself restrict or limit the use of other electronic systems and solutions. Art Guard accommodates most hanging systems and can be easily moved with the work or the show.

• Affordable – Art Guard costs less than $50. At this price, there is little reason not to protect all valuable hanging art and objects.

• Discreet - Art Guard is completely hidden from view. Historic sites often require that the building’s fabric and appearance be undamaged or unchanged even by alarm devices or the presence of exterior lighting.

• Redundant – Regardless of the security system or systems employed by a facility, Art Guard is an effective back up, if not the primary security.

• Comprehensive – Art Guard is capable of being moved anywhere and working in any operational mode of the facility.

• Immediate - Art security specialists want violators to know they have set off an alarm. The presence of guards, as a more obvious deterrent, may in the end have little effect, since by the time a theft is in progress it is often too late.

• Allows intimacy with the art - People want to, and often need to, get very close to pictures to study the detail in the brush strokes. Education is the primary mission of many institutions that display art. Many high tech systems prevent close viewing, while Art Guard allows total accessibility.

• Safe for all art – The contoured plastic cover prevents punctures of paper backed frames.

• One-year warranty – Art Guard carries a full one-year replacement warranty against any manufacturing defects.
