SightLogix Smart Thermal Cameras Protect Louvre Museum in Abu Dhabi
Smart thermal cameras from SightLogix are being used to protect the Louvre Abu Dhabi museum on Saadiyat Island, located alongside Abu Dhabi’s coast. The smart thermal intruder detection system has been providing waterside security around this innovative architectural facility since opening to the public in 2017.
The security demands of the Louvre Abu Dhabi go well beyond most other cultural sites. Many of France’s most famous institutions have lent art to the high-profile museum. Along with protecting the valuable collections, any security event at the site would create significant damage to the security reputation of the UAE itself. For these reasons, the deployed systems must perform at extremely high levels of reliability, while minimizing disruption to the visitor experience and museum operations.
