Protect Artifacts and Collections with LiDAR for Museum Security Systems
Museums and historical sites face the challenge of preserving and presenting valuable cultural heritage. Effective museum security systems are essential to protect these treasures without compromising visitor accessibility. The responsibility extends beyond safeguarding objects on-site, covering risks during transit and mitigating threats from unknown third parties.
Key challenges include securing valuable artifacts without obstructing views, managing access to sensitive areas, and responding quickly to security breaches. Museums must balance strict security with the demands of high visitor traffic and diverse exhibits.
LiDAR for museum security addresses these needs by enabling precise, adaptable 3D monitoring that protects multiple artworks with a single device. Blickfeld’s security LiDAR sensor, with its sleek and unobtrusive design and compact dimensions, enhances security while preserving privacy. It offers real-time monitoring and early warning systems, maintaining a safe environment for both visitors and collections.

Our solution: LiDAR for Museum Security
Artworks Protection
LiDAR technology provides flexible security for artworks by covering multiple pieces with a single device, unlike static inductive plates that typically monitor individual items. Rather than adjusting inductive plates for each new exhibition, museum security systems using LiDAR sensors can oversee several pieces at once, with alarm zones easily configured through software. For example, a pre-alarm can trigger a warning sound when someone approaches within 30 cm of the artwork, while a full alarm activates if the piece is touched or removed. This adaptability allows LiDAR to effectively protect valuable artifacts as exhibitions change, without the need for reinstallation.
Intrusion Detection
Protecting museum collections demands robust intrusion detection systems. LiDAR excels with its precise 3D intrusion zones and continuous monitoring, effectively detecting unauthorized movements in exhibition halls and storage rooms. Integrated with intrusion alarms, LiDAR ensures that any breach—through windows, doors, or other entry points—is promptly identified and addressed.
Restricted Area Monitoring
Securing restricted areas within museums, such as collection storage rooms and private exhibit preparation zones, is crucial for protecting sensitive artifacts. Museum security systems benefit from LiDAR’s real-time monitoring, offering precise control over unauthorized entry or after-hours activity. This targeted surveillance helps maintain the integrity of high-security areas while supporting efficient museum operations.
During public hours, customized security zones detect unauthorized proximity to artworks or movement patterns, triggering alerts when visitors come too close or violate predefined boundaries, helping to prevent vandalism, theft, or accidental damage.
- Intuitive security zone configuration via drag & drop
- Adaptable to changing exhibition layouts via software without requiring hardware re-installation
- Main and pre-alarm zones for triggering proximity
During closing hours, the entire museum or gallery is secured, including critical entry points such as doors and windows. Any unauthorized presence or intrusion attempt is immediately detected and reported, ensuring reliable protection against break-ins and unauthorized access.
- Detection of static and moving objects/people
- Specific security zones for doors and windows
- Compatible with alarm systems via standard interfaces
