Security personnel are able to monitor the cameras remotely and can immediately communicate with museum officers closest to any potential disturbances. They can also zero in on specific works of art. Obviously aesthetics are important to a museum, and in the case of the Art Institute of Chicago, it was important that the system maintained security without being obtrusive. Curators worked with the museum's IT staff to position both visible and hidden IP cameras throughout the buildings so they wouldn't stand out as eye sores.

Previously, the Art Institute used an analog CCTV system. By switching to Axis IP cameras, the museum now has a scalable system that provides greater coverage, increased storage, and allows users to monitor the cameras from multiple review points on the network.
