Mobotix protects valuable racing gear, staff and fans

Mobotix announced that Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates chose to deploy a comprehensive Mobotix megapixel, IP-based surveillance solution as part of a strategic initiative to increase security in its North Carolina facility, which serves as the home base of its Nascar racing team.

"The Mobotix cameras are uniquely designed, and therefore, serve as a deterrent and let fans know the area is protected."

Earnhardt Ganassi Racing is a two-car team competing in the Nascar Sprint Cup Series, the most competitive form of racing in North America. They field the No. 1 Bass Pro Shops/McDonald's Chevrolet for Jamie McMurray, who won the Daytona 500 and the Brickyard 400 in 2010, and the No. 42 Target Chevrolet for Juan Pablo Montoya in the Nascar Sprint Cup Series.

Earnhardt Ganassi Racing replaced its prior analog system with a full-fledged IP-based video solution from Mobotix to capture high-resolution video that provided the high image clarity and details needed to conduct detailed investigations. The organization partnered with systems integrator ComSurv to deploy the new system.

"The Mobotix solution provides far more value when compared to other technologies," said Pete Wilson, facilities manager, Earnhardt Ganassi Racing. "The combination of high-resolution video with the decentralized approach provides us with the opportunity to realize immediate cost savings, and helps us keep a close eye on our facility and property better than ever before."
