<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Anne,<br><br>In 2021 we had a series of thefts from our sheds, in which the thieves used bolt cutters to get in. Because of that, we bought some security items like cameras, lights, and robust cut proof padlocks. The locks were purchased locally and installed immediately after the first break in, and withstood several attempts with the bolt cutters before the thieves decided to remove the latch completely. After that, we bought the other equipment. We use a combination of Motion Sensor Lights and Cameras that charge using solar and record everything on SD cards. They also work with wifi if you have wifi access across all your buildings. Since we've put the cameras and lights up, we haven't had any more thefts or break in attempts. The cameras are mounted about 15 ft off the ground, so they are visible but high enough that they can't be messed with.<br><br>If you have any other questions, feel free to email me directly!</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div>_____________________________________________________________<br></div></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><b style="font-size:large">Brittany Newman </b><i>(She/Her</i><i>) </i></span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> </span> Executive Director<span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </span><font size="4"> </font><br><u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font face="Univers LT Pro 55, sans-serif">Golden Museum and Archives</font><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:8pt"><br><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Golden+%26+District+Museum/@51.2922114,-116.9631953,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x5379bf96b43fc203:0x194db531bf58fa85!8m2!3d51.2922129!4d-116.9611077" target="_blank">1302 11th Ave S, Golden BC, V0A 1H0</a><br>PO Box 992, Golden BC, V0A 1H0</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:8pt">Phone: 250 344-5169 </span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:7.5pt"><br></span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:8pt"><a href="mailto:museum.golden@gmail.com" target="_blank">museum.golden@gmail.com </a> | </span><font color="#000000"><a href="https://goldenbcmuseums.com/" target="_blank"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:10.6667px">https://goldenbcmuseums.com/</span></font></a></font><span style="color:blue;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:8pt"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:8pt"><br>Join us on: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/museum.golden/" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank"><span style="color:blue">Facebook</span></a> | </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Univers LT Pro 55",sans-serif;font-size:8pt"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/museum.golden" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank"><span style="color:blue">Instagram</span></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:8pt"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">The Golden Museum and Archives operates on the territories of the Ktunaxa and Secwepemc Peoples<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34)">, and the chosen home of the Metis Nation Columbia River Society</span>.

<div>Over the past year we are having break in problems. Nothing has been stolen so far, just sleeping in some of the old buildings. Not so much in the winter, but in the summer.</div>
<div><br>The society is wondering what other Museums use for security such as cameras, lights etc.?</div>
<div>Would greatly appreciate any input.</div>
