Antimagic field is an eighth level spell with one hour concentration duration; an item that has it on 24 hours a day would easily be a legendary item. People underestimate how powerful a spell it is and suggest spamming it everywhere. Having it on every door, window, sewer pipe, and vent would be massive overkill just to spite wildshape.
Hiring monodrones is usually cheaper. They are the simplest Modrons, and they would be perfectly willing to work for a Lawful king (the evil-good axis doesn’t come into play) because it increases the amount of order in the multiverse. But every modron has Truesight.
Hell, maybe hire a whole team of modrons. Monodrones to stand watch at all ingresses, with orders of “raise an alarm if you see any disguised shapeshifter enter through that window / door / arrowslit / whatever”, and duodrones with orders of “patrol the castle and raise an alarm if you see any disguised shapeshifter”.

And if I were a king in Faerun I would spend my money like that. Fuck them druids.
