Outboard motor security system
Outboard Warden is the latest product to come from Irish engineer, inventor and founder of BoatWarden, Kevin Hennessey, and he has been perfecting his system for a number of years: Police, marine insurers and boat owners confirm engine thefts are on the increase and thieves are getting bolder, but Outboard Warden will put a serious dent in their criminal activities, according to Hennessey.
The Outboard Warden, which is patent pending, has two units that must remain within a given proximity of each other.
The instant they are parted, an alert is triggered and the alarm raised over the mobile network. GPS tracking data is then used to assist the owner and authorities in catching the crooks and recovering the equipment.
Intentionally designed by Hennessey to be a ‘set-and-forget’ system, Outboard Warden’s proximity alert is said to be more responsive than a geo-fence and is more efficient use of battery power to provide always-on 24/7 monitoring.
Outboard Warden also has comprehensive anti-tamper features, which Hennessey believes will seriously hamper the more determined criminals when they discover them.
