Frequently asked questions

All about museum security

What does a museum security officer do at AE Security?

A museum security officer from AE Security combines two roles: host and security guard. He or she receives visitors professionally, guides them hospitably while actively monitoring artworks, vulnerable objects and visitor flows. Our security guards are trained in Predictive Profiling methodology and work with AI-assisted CCTV systems to recognise risks early and take preventive action.

How does AE Security combine security with hospitality in a museum?

Safety and hospitality go hand in hand at AE Security. Our museum security officers are specially trained to be a visible and approachable presence for visitors while proactively monitoring risks. We call this the Adding Excellence approach: going beyond surveillance by reading along with what is happening in a room and switching gears at the right time without disrupting the museum experience.

What is Predictive Profiling and how does it work in a museum?

Predictive Profiling is an advanced security method in which our security guards are trained to recognise, interpret and anticipate visitor behaviour in case of possible threats. In a museum, this means that our security guards act proactively in case of deviant behaviour - even before an incident occurs. The method is combined with AI-assisted camera surveillance systems for maximum effectiveness.

Does AE Security also provide security for temporary exhibitions?

Yes. AE Security provides museum security for both permanent collections and temporary exhibitions, galleries and events. Our security solutions are fully scalable and adapt to the specific risks and duration of each exhibition. We also provide security for loan objects and international art transports.

What security technology does AE Security use for museums?

AE Security combines physical security with AI-enabled CCTV, motion detection and behavioural analysis software. This enables automatic detection of anomalies in visitor flows. Our systems are fully linked to a 24/7 control room and include access control at staff and visitor level.

Does AE Security also offer 24/7 surveillance for museums?

Yes. AE Security provides 24/7 museum security, including night-time patrols, security rounds and a permanent link to the control room.
