Steve Keller and Associates, Inc, a leading museum security consulting firm in the U.S. is pleased to announce the release of "The Security Department Knowledge Base" a comprehensive solution for museum security management. This software is driven by FileMaker Pro, a powerful relational database program widely used in museums. It is not necessary to own FileMaker Pro to run the standalone version of the program. "The Security Department Knowledge Base" will be unveiled at the Smithsonian's National Conference on Cultural Property Protection in Washington, D.C. on Sunday February 2. Demo versions will be given to all attendees who visit the demonstration in the exhibit hall. The software is comprehensive and power. Its intent is to include as many of the administrative functions as possible that are time consuming or often fall through the cracks in a museum. It is also intended to give the security manager a means of measuring the productivity of his or her officers in order to justify budgets. And it is intended to give small museums with a small staff, low budget, and who lack a security infrastructure the ability to substantially improve their security while actually reducing the amount of time they spend on administrative operations. The software is available in both Windows and Mac versions and is delivered in both a standalone version for non-networked computers and in a network version for networks. Both versions are included and the software can be used on as many computers in the user's organization as desired without extra cost. The program costs $399 but is available through February 20 for $299. Shipping is included and each copy is personalized to the museum with their name and logo on the entry screen. The software includes the following features and databases and while many reports are pre-defined for ease of use, the reports can be run in custom formats and searches can occur in a user-defined manner.

Digital Surveillance for hospitals, schools, casinos, construction sites, arenas, offices, and remote sites
This unit is suitable for fitting to the reverse side of a picture. It is simple to fit, does not require any additional wiring and is unobtrusive. The alarm detects sudden movements and will protect the item from any "snatch and grab" theft. Controlled by a key switch, the alarm is battery operated and features a siren capable of producing 112 decibels. When activated the siren sounds for 60 seconds and then rearms. These can form a cost-effective alternative to security wiring of your premises. One key can control all alarms.
A uniquely coded, minature, security chip covertly installed, by approved installers, means that treasured art and antiques can be rapidly identified. On installation the code number is logged on a secure database. If your possessions should ever be lost, the identification system will aid the authorities in tracing them. This is a real deterrent to the art thief who knows offloading the painting will be so much more difficult and improves the chances of your property being returned tenfold. The system is being sold across Europe and property identification is supported by all major police forces.
Even if your collection is modest, the extra peace of mind having your art and antiques Eideticked, plus possible insurance discounts make the system good value for money. There is or soon will be an approved installer in your area.
If you run a gallery or museum, Eidetic can help track art movements in the building or around the globe. And now there is software available as well.

Eidetic picture alarm…
Especially helpful to "high street" galleries where opportunist theft is prevalent. Once set, attempting to move the painting will set off the in-built alarm. It is simple to attach (covertly), disable and no wiring.

Proctecting Cultural Objects In the Global Information Society
Object ID is an international standard for describing art, antiques, and antiquities. It has been developed through the collaboration of museums, cultural heritage organizations, police and customs agencies, the art and antiques trade, appraisers, and the insurance industry.
A stolen object is unlikely to be recovered and returned to you unless it has been photographed and adequately described. The Object ID checklist helps you provide the information needed to identify an object as yours.
Object ID is easy to use. Just follow the checklist and try to answer as many of the questions as possible.
Object ID may be reproduced according to the Guidelines for Reproducing the Checklist.

Trend Technology Systems Full system-integration with " Universal Supervisor"
Since 1990, Trend Technology Systems has been actively producing software and supplying DDC management equipment. Within no time, it was clear that building managers wanted more than just central climate management; management options were required for their other systems as well. In 1993, TTS brought their Universal Supervisor™ onto the market. This Supervisor allows simple and transparent single-point operation and management of brand-independent systems such as CCTV, fire alarms, burglary and lift systems. Interactions It is easy to introduce interaction between linked systems. Whenever a security alarm is activated for example, it is possible to select a camera image and consequently record the images on video or CD-ROM. Or activate the lighting and climate control of an individual’s room once they have passed access control with their security card.
Introducing a revolution in display security and protection for irreplaceable items. The VISEC glass safe is a unique blend of display cabinet and high security storage. The unit is designed for the display of high value items in public areas. The security levels are such that the display items remain in the cabinet at all times. The risks of movement, damage and alternative night-time storage are eliminiated. The need for security gards and expensive monitoring is minimised.
"Our company (OUT of SITE Security Systems Ltd.) has a unique, state of the art security system called Smokecloak which we believe would be of great use to Intel in the area of theft prevention. For further details: Please contact us at 1-888-677-7723 (ask for Arnold or Wayne) or Fax us at 250-474-4220
What is Smokecloak?
Smokecloak is a machine that produces a totally enveloping and impenetrable cloud of harmless smoke immediately a signal is received from an intruder alarm panel. With visibility reduced to 30 cm or less within seconds, it is virtually impossible for a burglar to steal anything.
SMOKECLOAK STOPS BURGLARS FROM COMMITTING THEFT
When this situation is imposed suddenly upon an intruder the natural inclination is to leave the vicinity immediately - to escape - and they usually do.......... .... empty handed. All sense of direction is lost in such a situation and one thing every intruder always needs is a way out. If there is a any chance their escape route may be denied them they will not usually venture in any further. If intruders cannot see where things are, it is impossible for them to steal anything."

USA LIGHT AND ELECTRIC.
Halogen lighting is considered the best lighting choice for art since it has the highest color rendering from an artificial light source. The limitation of halogen lighting, however, is that its color temperature is less than normal daylight. Obviously, bringing daylight indoors has impractical logistics. It is now possible to achieve a closer approximation of daylight from your existing halogen lighting system. The innovation is surprisingly cost effective and affordable too.

ISISTM is a patented technology of Verification Technologies Inc. ( VTI ) for the identification of valuable objects so as to prevent counterfeiting, forgery and mistaken identity. This Intrinsic Signature Identification System (ISIS) registers an object's identity without, in any way, altering the object. For each object we capture a unique series of microphotographs and a log of how they are collected. This data is the Intrinsic Signature that, like a fingerprint, uniquely identifies any object. We combine this data with textual and additional certification and authenticity information describing an object to form a Registration. This registration is then entered into our secure, Intranet based, registration database. The database is accessible via phone line to authorized ISIS clients. For record keeping purposes, a registration certificate is issued to the object's owner as a receipt for the process. Verification Technologies, Inc. specializes in providing both database and enabling technologies for the identification and central registration of valuable objects. Our ISIS technology demonstrates our expertise in systems integration for the retail and industrial registration of valuable objects. While already remarkably versatile, we can customize our technology and applications to suit your specialized needs.

Museum Environment - Recent art thefts throughout the world have underscored the need for "Eternal Vigilance" to maintain and preserve artifacts and living collections. Preservation can be maintained with proper design and implementation of the building housing the artifacts and collections, the host intrusion security alarm, the in-house security guard force, and Wireless Proprietary Annunciation Systems. This formation fofocuses on Wireless Proprietary Annunciation Systems for cultural institutions. These systems have been proven to be extremely effective and flexible. The annunciation system functions independently from the museums's host security system and can alert attendants at one or more guard posts. The attendant can see precisely where vandalism or theft is taking place. This capability is possible anywhere in the building regardless of size. SALCO wireless systems help secure art objects without interfering with the mood and ambiance of the presentations. Art objects are secured by our computerized SR-768 Security Processor and sensors which detect glass breakage, pedestal case top removal, sudden impacts, intrusion, object removal, finger touch of paintings, smoke, fire, water, humidity, and temperature extremes, and almost any type of sensor with a contact closure.
The widespread use and flexibility of the pushpad design made it practical to develop a variety of electrified monitoring and activating functions. Von Duprin has expanded its product offering to include card readers, electric strikes, monitor strikes, electromagnetic locks and many electrical accessories. This, in turn, has made it possible to effectively address the dual concerns of security and life safety. Whether monitoring multiple doors at a large facility or using a delayed and alarmed exit device to protect a remote fire exit door, it is now possible to provide security in all areas of a building while maintaining safe, fast egress in case of emergency.
Kent Integrated Systems, Inc. began in 1993 as an outgrowth of its sister company, Kent Security Security Services, Inc. Surveillance equipment and closed-circuit television, distributor for Cardkey Access Control Systems, the largest manufacturer of access control systems in the world.
Security Systems Development. SRI International has the management and technical expertise, physical laboratories, shops, and professional staff to perform all phases of security systems development. SRI has been active in this field for over 25 years. Since SRI has no product line orientation, they have been able to provide unbiased opinion, advice, and engineering services to their clients. Comprehensive, as well as very specific, security services are available to businesses and government agencies. A systems engineering approach is used for development of large security systems. This step-by-step approach begins with an analysis of the material and information to be protected, threats and vulnerabilities, and the determination of the operational requirements. Technical requirements are derived from the operational requirements and then specifications for the whole system are written. In some cases, a conceptual design is written rather than a specification. Following installation of the system by an installer, SRI designs a test, provides technical management as test director, analyzes the test data, and reports the findings to the client. Staff training and continuing technical support and review are provided. For existing or smaller security systems, or elements of a security system, a less formal approach may be taken. Problems are identified and feasible alternatives are found to meet the requirements using combinations of existing, modified, and new security system elements. Often, the studies lead to better utilization of existing security resources.
