“Insight includes all the components necessary to help protect a boat and keep an eye on exactly what is happening onboard at all times,” said Jay Keenan, Paradox Marine’s Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “Our new system will send a snapshot or video clip to the user’s account which is accessible on any mobile phone with internet access. The owner will see 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, the system notifies a boat owner or captain 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 a message every 15 minutes with the vessel’s speed, heading, latitude and longitude and distance to closest city,” he added.

Connected to the internet through the Ericsson W25 or the Tellular SX7T, Insight provides complete access to a boat from any computer with internet access or through a web-enabled mobile phone. The system has full GPS tracking through the new Inmarsat IsatM2M network, and will report alarm notifications from anywhere in the world. When in wireless range, the 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.

Owners and captains have a personalized, password-protected web page to view live images from onboard cameras and archived footage from triggered events. (The 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 complete history of events. Onboard security can be armed or dis-armed and AC/DC accessories can be controlled remotely via the internet connection.
