Case Study: The Vatican Apostolic Library strengthens manuscript security with MOBOTIX video surveillance

The World-Famous Vatican Apostolic Library Throughout The Centuries

The Vatican Apostolic Library required a high-tech security system to protect its invaluable historical collection of manuscripts and books against theft. To address this challenge, they partnered with MOBOTIX to implement an advanced surveillance solution.

MOBOTIX installed 70 of its M12D IP megapixel cameras to create a comprehensive monitoring system. This solution was uniquely integrated with RFID technology to link individuals with the specific library volumes they checked out, enabling the library to immediately detect and react to any unauthorized access or removal of materials. The MOBOTIX system provided exceptionally clear, distortion-free video, which was crucial for identification, and its ease of installation prevented the need for structural changes to the historic building. As a result, the library now operates with a state-of-the-art security system that ensures the protection of its priceless holdings.
