Asset Security for Auction Houses

Flexible protection for continuously changing inventory

Auction houses are unique in placing demands for flexibility on any security system designed to protect objects. Objects of enormous variety are continuously being moved and changed, maybe more so than in any other facility displaying valuable assets. Ease-of-use should be a hallmark. And a system has to be equally adept at securing a painting and a piece of jewelry.

Comprehensive Protection for Every Lot

Art Guard MAP offers the most comprehensive protection for stationary objects of any technology or security measure. This is MAP's hallmark. Exhibiting objects individually or in lots as openly as possible to prospective buyers while discreetly protecting them is paramount. Employing MAP is equal to having a separate guard on every lot, watching every painting, every sculpture, every snuff box and every pendant.

A Balance of Flexibility and Presentation with Protection

System Flexibility

MAP sensors can be employed in a host of currently-installed or dedicated security panels, as well as in the MAP System, which offers the ultimate convenience in set-up and management.

Easy Installation

MAP sensors are easy to install to accommodate changing displays. Sensors can be temporarily by-passed to move individual pieces.

Configurable Alerts

Responses to an event can be anything from a local alarm (loud or subtle) to a cell phone text.

Universal Coverage

No other object-specific security is capable of protecting each and every asset, no matter the size.

Trusted by Leading Auction Houses

Art Guard MAP provided the added security we needed for one of the largest exhibitions we've ever put on. We were very pleased with the ease of set-up and use, and the fantastic service. We felt we had the right amount of protection for such an important collection and will be using the system again and again.
