New Chapter Opens for Old Cathedral With IDIS Video
IDIS’ end-to-end video is protecting a new, purpose-built visitor center at Canterbury Cathedral, part of a $34 million renovation project transforming one of the UK’s UNESCO Heritage sites.
The seven-year program, preserving and safeguarding the fifteen-centuries-old masterpiece of English Gothic architecture — and mother church of the worldwide Anglican communion — includes the addition of a new welcome center for visitors. The center, housing retail facilities, a viewing gallery and community studio exhibition space are protected with a best-in-class video solution which combines discrete monitoring with high-performance image capture.
