AI video surveillance in the museum

Prevent theft and vandalism

Maximize the protection of your exhibits: prevention, tracking, and early intervention with AI

In addition to building security and access control, the immediate protection of exhibition objects is one of the central tasks in museum operations. Exhibits are not only valuable but also unique. Any damage—whether caused by touch, manipulation, theft, or vandalism—can be irreparable and have long-term consequences. With AI video surveillance in the museum, based on the Vaidio platform, we enable you to detect such risks early and respond to them specifically. It relieves the supervisory staff, alerts only to relevant events, and helps prevent interventions before it’s too late—discreetly, efficiently, and without invasive measures.

Don't touch me, I'm art!

Whether out of curiosity, carelessness, or genuine interest: Many visitors get closer to exhibits than allowed. Touches often leave invisible but permanent marks—on surfaces, frames, or delicate materials. Our AI automatically detects when people approach an object unusually closely or touch it. Once critical behavior is detected, the system can send a silent alert to the responsible supervisory staff or trigger an acoustic or visual warning.

Please do not leave messages with spray cans

In recent years, there have been increasing targeted actions against museums and galleries, where artworks are thrown with paint, smeared, or otherwise damaged—often in the name of protest actions. Such interventions usually occur unexpectedly, quickly, and amidst other visitors. The AI-supported video analysis detects suspicious objects in real-time through targeted object recognition—such as spray cans or paint bottles. As soon as such an object appears in the field of view of a camera, the security personnel is automatically informed—including location information and real-time image.

This is not an invitation to interact.

Museum thefts often occur within seconds – through distraction, quick maneuvers, or targeted planning. While traditional cameras record, they do not immediately detect when an object is taken. This is where AI-supported object recognition comes into play. Our solution detects in real-time when a piece of art, exhibit, or item suddenly goes missing or an object is placed in a backpack or under clothing. Thanks to seamlessly integrated asset tracking, the system can track the removed object or person throughout the entire building using cameras – regardless of how many zones or floors are crossed. At the same time, all nearby exits can be automatically locked (if digitally controllable) and the movement route documented live.
