How Marine Security Alarms Can Save Your Boat From Disaster in White Rock

White Rock is a city on the south coast of Metro Vancouver bordering on both Boundary Bay and Semiahmoo Bay. As such, there are a lot of boat owners in White Rock, who are preoccupied with their boat’s condition and security. Fortunately, there are all kinds of marine security alarms available, and in today’s blog article, we will briefly go through some of the better-known ones.

There are many types of security alarms for a vessel including intrusion, environmental, navigation, and general security.

Intrusion

These are the alarms that can alert you if a window or door has been breached. They can sound if there is pressure on certain floorboards such as someone being on the boat that was not invited or expected. Motion detectors also fall under this category, noting movement when there should not be any.

Environmental

Environmental alarms include things like fire alarm that would go off in the presence of smoke or heat or both, gas detection alarms if you use propane on board. You might have a bilge monitor alarm that detects water rising in the hull. And you could also have temperature alarms if some part of the boat or engine gets too hot or too cold.

Navigation

Navigation alarms include things like an alert for anchor drag or deviation from a set course. There might be collision alarms if you get too close to another vessel. Cars often have these today. You might also have an alarm that alerts you if you have some kind of electrical or navigational or GPS failure on board.

Some vessels might also have some kind of silent alarm for emergencies that will contact authorities if you are in danger and cannot otherwise call or radio. There are too many choices to list them all here, but contact us in White Rock, if you would like to improve your boat’s security.
