Dutch deliver boat security systems
29 May 2008
Dutch marine equipment manufacturer Vetus has introduced two new security systems which will report unauthorised entry to or removal of a boat.
Both the Boat Detection System and the Boat Monitoring System are designed to mitigate against intrusion, especially in circumstances where a boat is left unattended for a lengthy period of time.
In the event of theft, both systems will send a message with the current GPS location of the boat as well as the speed and direction in which it is moving (Track and Trace). The message and the follow up can be monitored via an SMS to the operator's mobile phone or via an alarm station, with coverage throughout Europe. It is even possible to follow the movements of your missing craft via the internet.
The Boat Monitoring System can also be programmed to report a high bilge water level, smoke or low battery state amongst other things. As an additional option, it is possible to remotely operate the heating system or the refrigerator, enabling the operator to not only arrive at the vessel to find it where left but also warm and dry with cold beer in the fridge.
