Three electronic systems for on-board safety

From computer networks that can be hacked, to night vision to avoid obstacles, to solutions to avoid losing a crew member at sea, onboard electronics offer us astonishing possibilities for handling our boats.

Sionyx, thermal cameras for boats

Navicom distributes a new brand, Sionyx. An expert in the field of night vision, it offers the Nightwave for marine navigation. This camera features a patented CMOS sensor. This enables the camera to detect obstacles and debris, even in very low light conditions, without the need for white light or expensive thermal cameras. Rated IP 67, the Nightwave camera is designed to withstand marine environments. Its video broadcast configurations enable rapid integration with leading brand multi-function displays (MFDs). What’s more, users can view live images on their mobile devices. SX-NIGHTWAVE black or white: ?2,395 incl. VAT.

Digital Yacht N2K Protect, safety and monitoring system for the NMEA 2000 network

Today, all the components of a boat are connected via the NMEA 2000 network. It could be tempting for a hacker to take control of the boat via this network. The N2K Protect is a stand-alone, bus-powered interface that receives and analyzes all NMEA 2000 network data. During installation, it tests and validates the NMEA 2000 network, providing the installer with a set of tests and tools. It then provides continuous monitoring and protection, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for the entire life of the boat. You could compare it to an antivirus program and a firewall for NMEA 2000 networks. Price: ? 330 incl. VAT

Olas NK2 MOB, now with NMEA 2000 alarms

Olas is a small network that monitors connected bracelets. If a wristband disappears from its radar, it sends out an alert. The device can track up to 25 wristbands simultaneously. This is good security for alerting a crew to a man overboard. With the Olas NK2 unit, in addition to sound and light alarms, the alert is now transmitted on the NMEA 2000 network and displayed on network screens, including the chartplotter, to help return to the shipwrecked person. 380 ? INCL. VAT.
