Security systems for small museums

By: admin | March 26, 2007
I am interested in finding out what type of security systems small museums have found work best for them. We need to improve security for two small buildings. Do you have a system that you have been happy with? What problems/challenges have you run into with your system? What are your monitoring fees? Are false alarms a problem? Do you connect into your local fire department? Is there anything you would do differently if you had the chance to?

Any feedback is most appreciated!
