Nautic Alert Boat Security System and Boat Security Alarm

Nautic Alert X2 Boat Security

Advanced Boat Security on a Single MTC-E Platform
Using 3-Layers of Security Defense with Radar and Microwave-based Intrusion Detection.

Your boat is worth protecting with an advanced boat security system built on the Nautic Alert MTC-E Decision Platform. By leveraging Nautic Alert Insight X2 as an intelligent edge-computing device, all monitoring activities are being observed and analyzed aboard the vessel and communication capabilities are centralized for onboard communication or to one or many remote smartphones using text and email notifications over integrated cellular or satellite technology.

Nautic Alert introduces next-gen intrusion technology utilizing microwave and stealth radar technologies. Microwave technology overcomes the harshest factors that often reduce reliability of standalone PIR motion technology. Swaying lines and haylards, open cabin doors and strong marine air conditioners, vibration, and drastic temperature changes can degrade the operation of traditional PIR sensors, whereas microwave technology enables a sensor to see objects and reject false alerts in this environment.

Radar technology can see through the walls of your boat, and provides a totally invisible barrier inside that never misses motion events. Used in high-security mission-critical applications such as banks, radar technology is immune to temperature drafts and provides the most advanced intrusion technology available while preserving the high-end aesthetics of your cabin. Recommended for high-end yachts, radar technology can see through multiple staterooms, or through multiple levels of your yacht.

Unlike PIR-only technology, both microwave and radar technology enable you to easily adjust the detection distance. This means that someone walking on the dock, nearby pilings, and nearby boat movement will be rejected in an outdoor environment.

Layer-1 Level of Defense, the Nautic Alert security strategy enables wired or wireless microwave/PIR motion detection sensors as the 1st level of defense, for the outdoor perimeter, to catch an intruder in the process of coming aboard or in attempt to take an attachment such as a dingy, while the security system is set to “Onboard” mode or “Away” mode to protect crew and passengers while sleeping or the vessel when no one is on board.

Layer-2 Level of Defense, provides wired or wireless motion detection sensors and wired contacts positioned in strategic locations within the cabin or in other compartments for indoor perimeter monitoring and detection.

Layer-3 Level of Defense, provides the Nautic Alert Geofence, which creates a virtual ring around the vessel and monitors for vessel movement outside of the virtual ring boundaries, which can be set to as little as 50ft.

With the combined layers of defense, you get an advanced boat security system with a highly effective strategy.

Additional security safety features include smoke detection and personal emergency/ man overboard (MOB).

Security Operating Modes

With Nautic Alert Insight X2, three security operation modes are available: (1) Disarmed, (2) Onboard, and (3) Away. Each alarm zone can be configured to operate in away only, onboard only, or onboard and away modes. An entry delay can be specified when using away mode; however, it’s encouraged to use a phone’s SMS interface to arm and disarm the system. Siren modes can be customized for onboard and away mode, and includes silent, stealth mode operation, chirp, and continuous modes.

When Insight is disarmed, a test mode can be used to test the security and safety sensors, which will cause the siren to chirp when an alarm is triggered.

Nautic Alert also features a unique wireless onboard alarm network that can provide audible and visual notifications throughout the boat. Let Insight sync siren events wirelessly and know about issues when they happen in every location that matters on-board.

Covert Installation

Nautic Alert can be covertly installed, and communicate with Iridium’s satellite network through fiberglass material.

XPulse and XPulse Plus

The Nautic Alert Security solution requires either XPulse for “hardwired” boat security sensors and/ or XPulse Plus for “wireless” boat security and safety sensors. Both XPulse and XPulse Plus communicate with Nautic Alert Insight using a wireless interface and provide additional capabilities for multiple DC battery bank monitoring and trending and AC shore power detection, but this is further discussed in the XPulse section.

Learn More About XPulse

XPulse supports a total of 4 “hardwired” security sensors with 4 dedicated alarm zones for motion sensors and door and hatch contact sensors, which can be expanded to 8 “hardwired” security sensors using an additional XPulse. Each dedicated alarm zone can be configured to NO (normally open) or NC (normally closed) sensor outputs. This provides a customer with the option to use Nautic Alert certified wired sensors or for a customer to use their own or existing “hardwired” sensors.

XPulse Plus provides the capability to interconnect wireless security sensors including smoke detectors and personal emergency/ man overboard (MOB) safety sensors. A single XPulse Plus can support up to 16 wireless security sensors with 4 dedicated alarm zones.

Nautic Alert Security Sensors

Nautic Alert Boat Security offers several types of commercial grade wired and wireless security sensors tested in the harsh marine environment to ensure false-positive alerts do not occur due to seeping wind through cracks, sudden changes in temperature, humidity, and other factors that can trigger false-positive alerts. In addition, all certified wireless sensors are fully supervised by Nautic Alert for inactivity of the sensor and a low battery condition. Too many times, a system is armed only to find out, at the wrong time, that the battery for a wireless sensor has failed causing a false alert. Nautic Alert supervises and keeps you informed before a situation becomes a problem for a dependable experience.

Nautic Alert engineered products are designed for low power consumption. As a result, the certified wireless sensors used by the Nautic Alert X2 Boat Security have been configured and tuned for seamless plug-and-play operation and to ensure the certified wireless sensor consumes the lowest amount of power. Typically, this configuration will ensure up to 4 years of battery life, but results could vary by surrounding conditions. When using a certified wireless sensor, it must use the Nautic Alert configuration, which is done by the Nautic Alert company and sold through dealers and from the Nautic Alert “Shop” online store.

XPulse Plus is pre-configured to work with the certified wireless sensors you select before it ships out, leaving you with an extremely easy installation experience. This includes all necessary programming and configuration of wireless sensors and zone descriptions, so things work out-of-the-box.
