6. MAIN PROBLEMS IN THE PROTECTION OF SITES
• The size of the site is a problem for the protection:
• Number of security’s end-points;
• High number of events (and false positive events!);
• Impact on the beauty and structure of the site:
• Low (or zero) impact;
• Number of security’s end points;
• Size of some security’s end points;
• Shape of typical security’s end points;
• Types and numbers of threats to the sites:
• Many different threats (voluntary and involuntary);
• From static attack scenario to dynamic scenarios;
• Costs of the site’s protection.

10. SURVEILLANCE STRATEGY
A possible surveillance strategy with low environmental impact:
• A central control room;
• Boundary control through video camera and enclosures;
• Remote sensors (with low environmental impact) in the site;
• Permanent control through radar(s);
• Time driven control through drone(s) fixed wing;
• Event driven control through:
• Drone(s) multi rotors with camera, microphone and speaker;
• Private/public policeman.

13. CONCLUSIONS
• The heritage sites have a lot of threats;
• The heritage sites have many environmental constraint;
• The modern attacks are mixed and dynamic;
• The modern technologies have a limits (e.g. flight time);
• It is possible use a mixed approach to protect the sites;
• …and respect the beauty of the sites!
