Art Guard Introduces a Program for Insurers of Fine Art
"This program focuses on the private collectors who are the victims of more than 50% of art theft. Most collectors are unaware of their vulnerability and the risk of theft, trusting that their primary security system is adequate to protect against break-ins. The greatest risk, however, is during daytime hours when the alarm system is turned off to allow for movement of staff, workers, guests and even family. This is when priceless objects are at the greatest risk for theft. Surprisingly, the usual security systems often are not turned on during the day or monitoring contracts are allowed to lapse. Sometimes, the systems can be compromised. Perimeter security systems are no longer secure in these instances," said

The MAP technology uses a tiny rare earth magnet, attached to the valued object, plus a wireless sensor located nearby to track the magnet's movement. Once the sensor is enrolled into a control panel, any movement of the object triggers an alert and produces a customized response, whether an alarm, a text, an email and/or a phone call. MAP can be integrated into a number of well-known security systems and programmed to be on 24/7.
