Securing Museum Spaces with Smart Cameras

Recommendations of applications for critical scenarios

Located in Yingge, a renowned ceramic town, the newly completed New Taipei City Art Museum in Taiwan is a modern structure that not only hosts a variety of exhibitions and events within its walls but also offers outdoor spaces for locals and tourists to relax.

Given the museum’s high-value assets, implementing a reliable monitoring system is essential to protect the artwork and provide ease of management for staff.

Here are practical deployment suggestions for effective smart surveillance in this museum setting:

1. Restricted Area Detection
An electronic fence is one of the most fundamental features of a smart monitoring system. Key museum zones—such as areas close to valuable exhibits or restricted-access spaces—require secure boundaries. Electronic fences immediately trigger alerts when unauthorized entry is detected, providing a basic yet crucial layer of protection.

2. Crowd Management
During peak seasons or special events, managing the number of visitors inside the museum becomes essential. Smart cameras equipped with electronic fences can monitor the in-and-out movement at entrances and exits, using directional detection to count the number of visitors. Advanced LILIN smart cameras even offer direct visual recognition for people-counting, enabling streamlined visitor management.

3. Parking Management
Museums often provide ample parking space, and real-time monitoring of occupancy helps streamline parking operations. LILIN smart cameras can detect available parking spots and indicate high-demand areas. Integrating this data into the museum’s website or displaying it at the entrance provides convenience for visitors and reduces the need for customer service resources.

With the integration of the LILIN NAV image management system, every event detected by the cameras—such as “restricted area intrusion” or “unauthorized access”—is indexed and easily retrievable, making incident review efficient and allowing staff to locate specific footage without having to search through entire timelines.

For expansive outdoor monitoring, LILIN provides PTZ speed dome cameras. These units can automatically track suspicious activity across wide areas, while the integration of LILIN’s intelligent spotlight allows for nighttime illumination of specific areas, serving as an effective deterrent.

Alternatively, bullet cameras offer clear visuals in designated areas without tracking capabilities, suitable for scenarios that do not require movement tracking. With lenses typically offering a 2.8mm wide focal length, placing three cameras can achieve a full 360-degree field of view, ensuring comprehensive coverage.

In deploying surveillance in sensitive, high-priority areas, agility is key. A streamlined, well-structured framework ensures rapid response to incidents, simplifying ongoing operations and maintenance.

Even casual passersby are often drawn to the stunning architecture of the New Taipei City Art Museum. With LILIN’s meticulously designed surveillance systems in place, the museum’s outdoor areas remain quietly safeguarded day and night, allowing each visitor to explore with peace of mind.
