Due to their purpose, museums, galleries and heritage buildings often have
strict requirements and guidelines for any type of construction work carried out
on the premises.
Often with museums and galleries and almost invariably with heritage buildings,
the architectural designs are not sympathetic to modern security requirements.
At the same security arrangements are vital in this sector considering the often
priceless and irreplaceable nature of the items and buildings concerned. 
Sympathetic and realistic approach
G4S Security Systems develop systems for museums and Heritage buildings that are
sympathetic to the nature of the buildings in question. For example, we work with
architects and other consultants to ensure that cameras, cables and junction boxes
are deployed with minimum impact on the integrity of the buildings. We are also
heavily involved in IP networks, which minimise the use of cables in buildings.
At the same time we recognise the necessity of cost efficiency. For example, by
the prodigious use of the latest, but tried and tested equipment or by retrofitting
new devices to existing cables systems we can develop security strategies that
are considerate to tight budgets and free up valuable money for the more preserving
our heritage or buying new exhibits.
