Today, for security reasons, the Hermitage arsenal has an inspection module in the arch of the Main Gate of the Winter Palace. It allows you to control all visitors directly at the entrance and protect the museum from the introduction of prohibited items. Security officers use introscopes to check things. The museum also uses metal detector frames and a video surveillance system with facial recognition function.
In addition, the Hermitage is equipped with complexes of control means. There are X-ray television facilities designed to detect explosive substances and explosive devices, a control panel for objective monitoring systems and video inspection devices to check the underside of incoming vehicles. In addition, the Hermitage security service is putting into operation purchased multi-frequency communications jammers to block the radio fuses of homemade explosives.
