Choosing the Right Marine Security Systems for Your Boat in Delta
In today’s world, there are now some very sophisticated marine security systems for boats. There are no shortage of boats docked in Delta with more than seven (7) natural harbours, anchorages, and marinas for short and long-term use. Outside of Delta, there are even more marinas, as the Lower Mainland has the ocean on most sides of it.
If you are not familiar with what kind of security system is available for your boat, we will summarize below what the most common options are. Keep in mind, however, that this is a short list, and there will exist more than what is listed here.
Intrusion Detection
This is equipment that is similar to what homeowners may be acquainted with. There is equipment that can alert when doors, windows, or hatches have changed positions or opened and closed.
Video Monitoring
Video monitoring can keep an eye on your boat both from the inside and the outside. There is also infra-red motion detectors and monitoring available.
Environmental Monitoring
Environmental monitoring of your vessel is also available in Delta and other marinas throughout the Lower Mainland. When we say environmental monitoring, we mean the monitoring of high water, low temperature (which can affect hull integrity), power failure from the dock, carbon monoxide (inside the cabin), and heat. Some of these variables being monitored may help you with better rates on your insurance.
What, exactly, you need for your particular boat, depends on its size, design, usage, location, and what kind of security the marina has. Talk to experts before making up your mind—experts like Alpha Integrated.
