Team ADT Champion Racing, a contender for the upcoming Le Mans 24 hour race in France, has CCTV monitoring from the security firm.
Unlike previous years, in 2005 the Le Mans testing weekend (5 June) and race weekend (18/19 June) are 13 days apart. Historically, all the race teams have packed up and left the venue after testing and returned several weeks later for the race. Because of the short gap between test and race they are remaining on site this year, which poses a security challenge.
ADT is providing electronic surveillance for the team, at a mobile closed circuit television (CCTV) vehicle positioned in tht team’s pit paddock area. This vehicle has been fitted out with the digital CCTV technology, to provide 24 hour monitoring for the team in the lead up to the race. This includes a live feed of vision from strategically positioned cameras into tht team’s management centre.
Don Skuta, Director of Business Development for the Champion Group, said: "This initiative not only creates a strong link between ADT?s capabilities and the operations of Team ADT Champion Racing, but it gives us full confidence that our valuable racing equipment is being protected at all times. We are delighted to be making history with ADT in the lead up to this historic event, and we also hope to make further history by winning the race."
Alex McNutt, Managing Director of ADT Europe, said: "ADT is proud to be supporting Team ADT Champion Racing and this unique partnership takes our relationship to a new level. The surveillance operation in Le Mans is a fantastic example of how ADT’s CCTV technology can be deployed in any environment to provide tailored solutions to our customers’ needs."
