Most museums have security teams, but communication is limited to walkie-talkies, an arcane technology in an age where everyone can do better. If your security teams rely on walkie-talkies to communicate information, even the best description provides only vague information, and it’s not always timely. “White male in green shirt” will only get you so far. Text messages, meanwhile can be delivered just as quickly, including photos and video, and have an open-rate of 99 percent. If you send a message via texting with our system, you can rest assured that it will get read–simultaneously by your entire team.

That’s where Guide by Cell comes in. Allow your Security Department to use Guide by Cell to quickly communicate information with the entire staff using not only text but images and even video. With Guide by Cell, you won’t have any more lapses in communication, or inaccurate descriptions that delay incident resolution.

How It Works

The cultural institution builds a list of security officers.

Each day, all working security officers can opt in to receive text messages on their smartphones.

Any officer who opted in can update the entire security team, with text or rich media, like screen captures of security video.

Alerts conclude at the end of the day automatically, or when individual officers opt out. The platform refreshes overnight and security guards don’t receive unnecessary messages when they’re not on-duty.
