Boat Security Checks from the Comfort of Home

First Watch is a new concept that enables marina berth holders to view their boats at the marina live on their home computer using a standard internet connection. Developed by UK company Sirrus, the system enables boat owners to check their vessel at any time of the day or night via the First Watch website using a secure password from anywhere in the world.

The heart of the technology is the latest in CCTV cameras, with pioneering remote vision technology that is networked to a web server. The cameras are positioned on the berths in the marina so that they can be viewed in real-time on the First Watch website at www. first-watch. co. uk.

The system can save boat owners unnecessary trips to the marina, enabling them, for example, to check their boat after a storm or assess weather conditions at the marina. It also gives marina managers an opportunity to enhance a facilility's reputation by ensuring that it is safe. They can also use the system not only to ensure security but also for purposes such as berth utilisation and traffic management.
