Paradox Marine To Feature Marine Magellan Insight Boat Security, Monitoring, Surveillance & GPS Tracking System & Inferno Acoustic Deterrents at METS 2009

Boat security systems supplier Paradox Marine will feature Marine Magellan Insight, a unique wireless security, monitoring & surveillance system with GPS satellite tracking and Inferno Acoustic Deterrents at its stand (11.525) at METS (Marine Equipment Trade Show) 2009, November 17-19 in Amsterdam.

Insight includes all the components necessary to help protect a boat and keep an eye on exactly what is happening onboard at all times. The system sends emails and text messages when events occur and saves a snapshot or video clip to the user’s account which is accessible on any computer or mobile phone with internet access. The owner sees what the camera sees when motion is detected and it also allows the owner to login and view streaming video off the boat on their computer or cell phone.

In addition, Insight notifies a boat owner or captain with a phone call if there’s high water in the bilge, low battery voltage, loss of shore power, smoke or intrusion. If the boat is moved without authorization or stolen, Insight will send emails or text messages every 15 minutes with the vessel’s speed, heading, latitude and longitude and distance to closest city. Connected to the internet through a 3G GSM communication device, Insight provides complete access to a boat from any computer with internet access or through a web-enabled mobile phone. The system has complete GPS tracking through the Inmarsat IsatM2M network and will report alarm notifications from anywhere in the world. When in 3G range, Insight will report alarms with a voice message, and/or email and/or SMS text message and allow owners to view live video feeds off the boat. The system will also interface with onboard satellite communication equipment for global video streaming and two way voice communication.

Owners and captains have a personalized, password-protected web page to view live streaming video from onboard cameras and archived footage from triggered events. (Insight DVR adds the ability to record and store 30 days of video from 4 onboard cameras.) The page also displays vessel status, alarms that have occurred and a history of events. Onboard security cameras can be armed, disarmed and controlled from the website.

Paradox Marine will also be featuring Inferno Acoustic Deterrents at METS. Inferno generates a patented, unbearable noise frequency pattern that immediately disrupts the activities of onboard intruders – such as terrorists, pirates or robbers – and buys time for crews to reach safe havens. Each unit has built-in sabotage protection and a long-life battery. A durable aluminum and steel casing is specially coated for protection against the harsh marine environment. A single unit covers areas up to 750 square feet. Larger areas can be covered with several units.

Inferno is available as a standalone deterrent or integrated into Paradox Marine’s comprehensive vessel security, tracking and monitoring systems. These tracking and sensing systems allow real time reporting and detection of intruders and also can monitor both accurate position and conditions thru the Inmarsat systems with the Paradox Marine Nav-Tracker and Marine Magellan systems.
