Sailsense Unveils BoatGuard Security Module: Next-Level Protection with Zigbee Integration
by Nicolas De Laet07 October 20243 min read
Brussels, September 2024 – Sailsense is taking boat security to unprecedented heights with the launch of its new BoatGuard Security module, part of the latest innovations for smart boat management. Equipped with cutting-edge Zigbee technology and integrated into the Sailsense Hub Pro 2024, this module offers boat owners real-time monitoring and protection for their vessels, ensuring peace of mind both on and off the water.
> Comprehensive Security with Zigbee Sensors
At the core of the BoatGuard module is a suite of Zigbee-enabled security sensors that monitor key areas of the boat for unauthorized access, water intrusion, and potential fire hazards. The system includes motion detectors, door and window sensors, water leak sensors, and smoke detectors, providing an all-encompassing shield for boat safety.
With Zigbee's reliable and low-power wireless network, these sensors work seamlessly together to offer 24/7 protection. BoatGuard instantly alerts users to any suspicious activity, including movement onboard, unauthorized door or window openings, and even potential flooding, ensuring rapid response and mitigation.
> Real-Time Alerts and AI Integration
BoatGuard takes security a step further with AI-powered smart alerts. The system can differentiate between standard and critical events, ensuring that boat owners only receive the most important notifications. In cases of emergencies—such as fire, flooding, or forced entry—BoatGuard triggers a siren and sends an urgent push notification to the owner's mobile device within seconds. Even in “Do Not Disturb” mode, these notifications break through to ensure boat owners are alerted instantly to critical incidents.
The system also supports three distinct alarm modes—“Stay,” “Away,” and “Always Active”—tailored to the owner’s specific needs. Whether monitoring while docked or protecting the boat while at sea, BoatGuard ensures that users are in full control.
> Geofencing and GPS-Based Monitoring
Another standout feature of the BoatGuard module is its geofencing capability. Boat owners can set a virtual perimeter around their boat. If the vessel drifts beyond the defined area, or if a tow attempt is detected, the system sends real-time alerts to the user. This feature is particularly valuable when leaving the boat unattended at anchor or in a marina, giving boaters peace of mind that their vessel is secure.
> User-Friendly Integration with the Sailsense App
The BoatGuard Security module integrates seamlessly with the new Sailsense mobile app. Through the app’s intuitive interface, users can monitor all their security sensors in real time, manage alarm settings, and even silence or activate the onboard siren remotely. With this, Sailsense ensures an effortless user experience while maintaining the highest standards of safety.
The new security features will be rolled out as part of the mobile app update, scheduled to launch in October 2024, providing a unified experience across all Sailsense platforms.
> Enhanced Safety and Reliability
With robust Zigbee integration and advanced real-time alerts, BoatGuard transforms boat security by providing unmatched protection for both small and large vessels. Boat owners can now enjoy their time on the water with the confidence that their investment is protected around the clock, regardless of location.
This launch of BoatGuard Security marks a significant step in Sailsense’s ongoing mission to deliver advanced, reliable technology that enhances the boating experience.
