Hi Emma,
I’ve used ISIS tags at various places, although I don’t know how expensive they are. The alarm tags- which are grey plastic rectangles ~ 8x5cm - slide into little self adhesive plastic envelopes that you stick
to the backboard of the artwork /wherever else you need it. They do need calibrating about once a year and you have to get new tags at a similar rate as they run out of battery, but they seem to work relatively well.
Many thanks,
Lowri

Dear all,
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of affordable security systems for art work displayed in galleries please? This is not really something we’ve done before so I’m open to suggestions of what kind of systems work
best/look the most discreet as well!
Thanks in advance,
Emma
