“The system not only provides enhanced protection of our Collection, but has also shown to improve the scores we receive on our visitor comment cards. The audible alerts are non judgemental and people no longer feel they are being unfairly targeted by our security staff.”

-Dr. Louis Zona, Executive Director, The Butler Institute of American Art
