Safety system for boats
Boat Safety Guide.
Here is an overview of your options:
What is monitored? Bilge water level - with the help of an alarm sensor bilge water. The simplest form is a swimmer you can send a signal to a central alarm system.
Detectors send a signal to the control alarm - Smoke and carbon monoxide.
Gas leaks - with a gas detector with cut lines for a gas valve.
Anti-theft - such as door switches and pressureMats.
Distance dinghy and outboard - with a continuous cable.
Geographical location - with the help of GPS. A 'geo-fence "around the boat's position created when the boat leaves this area an alarm is triggered.
A webcam - on most systems are connected, so you can actually see the boat itself.
What information will be transmitted? A Marina-based systems, a warning appears on the control panel and a representative will check the boat to safety.
A GSM-based (non-GPS)System to send a message to the owner, to make them aware of any problem.
A GPS system will send a text message. With a service contract is the service alert the police if there was a robbery. A GPS system can track the boat anywhere and will be notified via SMS or e-mail.
Doing It Yourself Professionally installed systems are less likely to lead to false alarms and unnecessary travel, but you can do it yourself.
You can buy individual components of the sensorand connected with an electrical panel. The warning signal can be transferred to a GSM modem and the signal is sent to a mobile phone network of your choice. Alternatively, buy a kit dedicated alarm, complete with sensors and send the signal to a pay as you go GSM.
Another option is to buy and install a complete kit to start, including GSM modem and GPS receiver or a satellite modem and GPS receiver.
Wired or wireless? The easiest way to set up a wireless system - isthere is no need to use cables of each detector to the controller. However, each detector has a battery for your wireless transmitter and you may not be able to integrate sensors in the bilge water, gas or smoke, if you can find wireless varieties.
Necessary with a small number of detectors on a small boat, we recommend a wired system to decide.
Where to buy a kit? There are many companies to provide safety equipment. If the system then its componentsmay consist of:
Bilge water pressure pads floating gate contact heat detectors
Finally, a lack of communication with an external alarm just making annoying noise, and people will probably be ignored. If your normal berth at a marina, you can use their wireless security system, if one gives. This only works at a marina with the same system, so you have no protection if you leave the boat elsewhere. Be sure to contact them and verify the availability andPrices.
A communication system through GSM telephone can send messages to one or more telephone numbers. You may even be able to send e-mail or voice messages on your phone. It works only if incurred within range of your wireless service provider's network and roaming charges when going abroad. For longer stays abroad may be a local pay as you go SIM card. This may be a relatively cheap option, with no monthly contract. Some of them you can use your PC to a website where you can connectA map showing the location of the boat to see.
