See your boat thief
A COMPANY has updated its wireless operated system that not only detects a boat being broken into but can send a 10 second video clip of the thief to the owner's mobile!
It is security specialist the Alarming Man, that has introduced an updated range of wireless, battery-powered security devices that can be installed in boats, boat yards or marinas without the need for mains power.

The system works using combined movement sensors and battery-powered digital videos cameras. When a sensor is tripped the camera records a 10 second video clip, which is then sent to a key holder's iPhone or mobile phone, who can decide whether to call the police, arrange to visit or take no action.
In the case of a break-in, the video can be sent to the authorities for action. The system can include an alarm or not, as required, with David Cole of the Alarming Man explaining:
Contact:"If the owner has left the boat, set the alarm and then the cabin is entered, the police and the keyholders would be notified. The system uses batteries which last between two and four years, 20 cameras can be included and the range is approx 700m from the sensor to control box. GPRS technology means the system can be used anywhere that there is a mobile phone signal."
