Borobudur Heritage Conservation Office has installed closed circuit television cameras to monitor Borobudur monument in Magellan, Central Java, in efforts to improve security in the compound.

At least 10 cameras have been installed in several locations, including the entrance and exit gates. The installation process had been conducted since early August. The cameras will record footage around the clock, and are wired and connected to the Internet.

Security guards will monitor the footage from their posts. The cameras can also be accessed from the Jakarta office. The cameras would also be used to prevent vandalism by visitors to the UNESCO world heritage-listed site.

Some parts of the temple are currently being renovated and cleaned of volcanic ash following the eruption of Mount Merapi last year.
