Case Study: City of Turku enhances museum security and speeds incident review with March Networks

Restored Castle a Popular Tourist Destination in Turku, Finland

The City of Turku, responsible for the historic Turku Castle, faced a significant security challenge after vandals damaged priceless artwork. Their existing, limited analog video system and stretched security staff were insufficient to protect the 8,000-square-meter museum. To address this, they partnered with vendor March Networks to implement a modern surveillance solution based on the March Networks Command Professional video management software.

The solution involved March Networks server-based systems powering 90 IP cameras at the castle. This provided high-quality video and integrated with wireless intrusion detection alerts. The result was a dramatic improvement in security response times, with incident investigations reduced from hours to under a minute. The March Networks system is praised for its reliability, ease of use, and superior video quality, ensuring the protection of the popular tourist destination.
