& nbsp;       As the guardian of cultural heritage, the safety of exhibition cabinets is the most important thing for museums. Modern display cabinet anti-theft system combines physical protection and intelligent technology to build a multi-dimensional safety net, while strict management system is also indispensable.

& nbsp;     I. Classification

of anti-theft system & nbsp;     1. Physical protective layer: the material of the display cabinet is very important. High-strength toughened glass and bullet-proof material can resist external damage; the cabinet body is sealed to prevent tool intrusion, the lock adopts multi-point occlusion mechanism, and the key is coded and encrypted to prevent technical unlocking.

& nbsp;     2. Technical monitoring layer: the core is the sensor network. The vibration sensor monitors abnormal vibration; the RFID chip tracks the position of the cultural relic and triggers an alarm once the cultural relic leaves the cabinet; and the temperature and humidity sensor prevents the cultural relic from being damaged by sudden changes in the environment and is linked with the security system.

& nbsp;       3. Intelligent monitoring layer: the camera covers no dead angle, and AI identifies abnormal behaviors (such as long stay and violent touch); the infrared grating constructs an invisible barrier, and the intrusion is locked to stop the area; the sound alarm is linked with the security system in the library in real time.

& nbsp;       II. Safety Management System

& nbsp;     2. Contingency plan: conduct simulation exercises every month to optimize the response process; automatically switch the standby power supply in case of power failure to ensure the continuous operation of the system; important display cabinets are equipped with emergency braking devices to physically lock the cabinet doors.

& nbsp;       3. Audience management: set up warning signs to prohibit touching display cases; set up buffer isolation belts beside large exhibits; increase patrol frequency during high-risk periods (before closing and at night), and assign special personnel to guard key areas.

& nbsp;     III. Key Precautions

& nbsp;     1. System integration: The anti-theft system requires unified platform management to avoid the overall vulnerability caused by the failure of a single device.

& nbsp;     2. Concealment design: The sensor and grating shall be installed in a concealed way, so as to ensure the appearance and not expose the safety weakness.

& nbsp;     3. Environmental control: the constant temperature and humidity equipment shall be linked with the security system to avoid triggering false alarms due to sudden environmental changes.

& nbsp;       4. Personnel training: security personnel must be familiar with all equipment operations and emergency procedures, and regularly assess their skills.
