Electrical Equipment Distributor Deploys MOBOTIX Cameras to Enhance Loss Prevention, Eliminate Vandalism

Business Wire
MOBOTIX Corp., an industry-leading provider of high-resolution,
network-based security solutions, today announced that Graybar
Canada, a wholesale distributor of electrical equipment including
surveillance solutions, has deployed more than two dozen MOBOTIX
cameras between its Markham and Halifax branches in response to
loss prevention issues and vandalism. Graybar chose the MOBOTIX
system for its ability to reduce camera counts with panoramic
views, as well as its low costs and reduced bandwidth
requirements.
Graybar Canada installed MOBOTIX DualNight M12 cameras to secure
the perimeters of each branch and help curb vandalism issues in
Halifax. In addition, Graybar leveraged the MOBOTIX Q24 hemispheric
technology to secure its 40,000-square-foot warehouse in Markham
with just six cameras. The Q24 camera allows for a 180-degree,
panoramic field of view with just a single lens, which enabled the
equipment supplier to limit the cost of the system by deploying
significantly fewer cameras.
“The No. 1 reason we chose MOBOTIX is the fact that we can take
one Q24 and with it see a view that would normally take four to six
cameras to provide. The real estate you get from just one camera is
amazing,” said Angelo Giancoulas, Technology Solutions Specialist,
Graybar Canada, who installed the system at the Markham branch. “We
knew that if we went with the Q24 as our primary device in the
warehouse, we would receive more coverage for less upfront
investment. Furthermore, the camera is so discreet that many people
assume it’s a smoke detector or speaker. What they don’t know is
that it is providing a complete bird’s eye view.”
Graybar Canada found additional ROI and utility by deploying
MxControlCenter, professional video management software included
with the purchase of MOBOTIX cameras at no additional charge, to
allow for an unlimited amount of users. This enables the company to
quickly and easily grant access to camera feeds for any employee
who might need it. In addition, MOBOTIX’s low bandwidth
requirements have reduced stress on the company’s network.
“We know the product well because we sell the product, and our
IT group was really sold on the minimal bandwidth and storage
requirements,” said Sean Fraser, Technology Solutions Specialist,
Graybar Canada. “Add in that you can configure each camera
separately, and your functionality is limitless.”
“Graybar Canada selecting MOBOTIX to secure their facilities
really speaks to the legitimacy of our value proposition,” said
Steve Gorski, General Manager, Americas, MOBOTIX. “They are
familiar with products from many different companies, but they feel
that our decentralized approach to surveillance best fit their
needs. We are excited that they have found tremendous value in our
unique products.”
