"I now rest easy knowing that the Art Sentry system is watching our collection and politely warning visitors not to get too close."
Dr. Lou ZonaButler Institute of American Art 
"At the Toledo Museum of Art, part of our vision statement is that we strive to create a 'culture of belonging.' To me that means, when people visit our museum, they feel free to enjoy their time without the perception of being followed by security. With Art Sentry's object protection system monitoring our collection, I can rest assured that the art is safe and our security team gets to focus more on providing a positive experience for our visitors."
Risa SmithDirector of Protective Services, The Toledo Museum of Art 
“Art Sentry has added several dimensions as to how we approach protection services…it’s changed the way we deploy our resources and the tactics we use."
Eric DrewryDirector of Protection Services-Detroit Institute of Art 
"Properly balancing the number of security officers with the correct amount and type of technology will provide significant cost savings, as well as improved security and reliability."

"The system works great. It does exactly what we were told it would do when we bought it -- you don’t get to say that very often."
Bob BoetticherCEO, National Museum of Funeral History

Art Sentry didn’t originally set out to be a leader in museum security systems. In fact, we can trace our roots to an engineering firm that was started in 1991, which became Acuity-vct in 2002.
