Boat Theft and Vandalism on the Rise
Expensive marine equipment such as yachts and boats are typically anchored in large, often remote locations with limited network infrastructure. Boats can be left for days, months or weeks at a time, which gives ample time and opportunity for theft and criminal damage to high value property. Vandalism on boats can also lead to accidents and personal injury and boat owners’ vehicles which are left unattended for many hours are also vulnerable to risks of theft and damage.
Lack of resources to physically monitor such expansive areas on a 24/7 basis mean that the situation can only get worse. Serious incidents go unnoticed, and evidence is not recorded due to lack of network infrastructure. As there are no consequences to perpetrators, the situation is increasingly going out of control.
Marinas suffer damage to reputation and increase in compensation claims. With the rising risks, they also face steep escalation in insurance premiums impacting the profitability of their operations.
Cloudview: A Secure and Intelligent Video Surveillance Platform
So how do Marina’s address these challenges? Well, Cloudview has the answer. Cloudview securely stores video footage in the cloud and provides remote access to that footage from anywhere, at any time. As the system captures only event-based footage, it helps save valuable time as the relevant footage can be identified and extracted quickly.
Additionally, the system can also do the following:
Offer cost-effective solutions where there is a lack of network infrastructure and only a 3G or 4G connection is available
Store all footage in the cloud meaning that even in the event of damage or theft of equipment, the footage is still available for review
Avoid the need for onsite storage, leading to savings in capital expenditure on traditional hardware
Provide a system health monitoring service to notify users when a camera is offline and not recording
Send alerts of an event having been captured to authorised parties who can interpret and react accordingly
Furthermore, the Cloudview platform is fully secure and GDPR-compliant, and all recorded footage is legally admissible in a court of law. Contact us today to learn how we can help you implement an effective and reliable CCTV surveillance system at your Marina.
