Why is Automist a great solution for protecting valuable art collections?

Traditional sprinklers are designed to saturate a room with gallons of water, which can often do more damage to art than the fire itself. Automist takes a very different approach:

Early activation reduces smoke damage. Automist can detect and respond to incipient fires faster than sprinklers, limiting the production of smoke, which is one of the biggest threats to delicate artwork.
Minimal water use. Automist uses around 10% of the water of a traditional sprinkler system, dramatically reducing the risk of water staining, warping, or mould damage.
Configurable activation sensitivity. With our Ember Track AI technology, Automist allows finely tuned detection and run times, ensuring the system deploys only when needed and for as long as needed. This means a more precise balance between safety and preservation.

Future-ready integrations. Automist can integrate with broader security systems, opening the door to advanced features like DNA-tagging deployment in the event of an intrusion or fire, providing both protection and forensic traceability.

For art collectors, particularly in high-risk regions like California where fire, earthquakes, and leaks pose multiple threats, Automist ensures the cure (water) isn’t worse than the disease (fire). It offers unobtrusive, intelligent protection tailored to the needs of high-value homes and collections.
