Boat Security Systems
Your guide to the safety of the ship. Here is a summary of the available options: What is controlled? Bilge water level – Using a bilge alarm sensor water. The simplest form is a float switch that can send a signal to a central alarm system. Smoke and carbon monoxide Carbon – detectors can send a signal to the control box of the alarm. Leaking gas – using a gas detector for a gas terminal cut solenoid valve. Alarms Penetration – such as door switches and pressure mats. Dinghy and outboard elimination – by cable continuity. The geographical position – Via GPS. A 'geo-close ' is created around the boat 's position when the ship leaves this area an alarm is triggered. A webcam – can be linked to most systems so you can see the boat for yourself. What information is transmitted? In port-based systems, a warning is displayed on the control panel and a staff member checked the boat 's security. A GSM-based (non-GPS) system will send a message to the owner to alert them of any problems. A GPS system will send a text message. With a service contract, the service provider to alert the police if there has been a robbery. A GPS system can track the ship anywhere and will warn you text or email. Professionally installed systems do it yourself are less likely give rise to false alarms and unnecessary trips, but you can do it yourself. You can purchase sensor components individually and unite them with a control box. The signal can be transmitted to a GSM modem and the signal is sent to a mobile phone network of their choice. Alternatively, buy a dedicated alarm kit with sensors, and send the signal to a Pay As You Go GSM modem. Another option is to buy and put a complete boat kit, including GSM modem and a GPS receiver or a modem GPS satellite and receiver. Wired or wireless? The easiest way to create a wireless system – no need to install cables for each detector control unit. However, each detector needs its own battery for your radio station and may not be able to incorporate the bilge water, smoke detectors, gas unless you can find wireless varieties. With a low number of detectors required in a small boat, we recommend opting for a cable system. Where to buy a kit? There are many companies that supply security equipment. If you make your own then the system components may include: bilge float switch pressure pads door contacts heat detector in finding a system to communicate with an external alarm will just make a noise and annoy people probably will be ignored. If your normal berth is in a marina, you can use your wireless security system if one is provided. This will only work in a marina with the same system, so you 'll have no protection if you leave the boat elsewhere. Be sure to contact them and verify the availability and prices. A communication system through GSM phone can send messages to one or more telephone numbers. You can also be able to send emails or voice messages to your phone. That will work only when in range of your wireless service provider 's network and will incur roaming charges if they go abroad. For longer stays abroad could use a place of payment on the progress of the SIM card. This can be a relatively inexpensive option without monthly contract. Some of these can connect your PC to a website where you can see a map showing the position of his ship. About the Author
