Tailored Security for Museums and Galleries

At BDi Security Solutions, we design and deliver security systems that safeguard people, property and irreplaceable artefacts without detracting from the visitor experience.
With extensive experience supporting complex, high-value environments, we understand the operational, conservation and reputational risks faced by museums, galleries and cultural institutions. From national museums and regional galleries to private collections and touring exhibitions, our solutions are designed with discretion, reliability and resilience at their core.
Our expertise spans single-site venues through to multi-location estates, providing integrated systems that protect collections, staff, visitors and back-of-house operations alike.

Security Services for Museums and Galleries
CCTV Camera Systems
We design and install high-performance CCTV systems for museums. Our solutions incorporate advanced cameras, networked recording platforms and intelligent monitoring to deliver clear, reliable coverage across exhibition spaces, entrances, storage areas and public zones.
Discreet camera placement and sympathetic system design ensure visual impact is kept to a minimum, supporting conservation requirements and maintaining the aesthetic integrity of historic or architecturally sensitive spaces.
Access Control Systems
Effective access control for galleries is critical for managing staff-only areas, conservation labs, collection stores and temporary exhibition zones. Our access control solutions allow museums and galleries to precisely regulate who can access sensitive areas, and when.
Whether you require a straightforward single-door system or a fully integrated multi-site solution, we provide scalable access control that is secure, auditable and easy to manage.
Perimeter Protection, ANPR and Automatic Barriers
For museums and galleries with large estates, external storage facilities or busy service yards, perimeter protection plays a vital role. We deliver integrated solutions including automatic barriers, bollards, gates and ANPR systems to manage vehicle access and protect vulnerable boundaries.
These systems are particularly effective for controlling deliveries, exhibition logistics and after-hours access, reducing risk without compromising operational flow.
Maintenance and Ongoing Support
Cultural venues operate year-round and often host high-profile events and exhibitions. Our maintenance services ensure your security systems remain dependable at all times, with rapid response and proactive servicing to minimise risk and disruption.
