Safe Ships Ahoy… How Y-cam helps with Marina Security
Posted on Wednesday, January 5th, 2011
Finding the right security to fit your business can be tricky, especially when you have specific needs – like a Marina would. With multiple entry points, boats, and walkways to monitor; finding an easy to use, robust, affordable security solution is not an easy task. And even if you find something, the solution needs to be manned, and offers very little personal “peace of mind” for boat owners.
However, with the combined use of Y-cams and compatible internet-based service, Jabbakam, it couldn’t be easier to monitor your business, as well as offering a variety of additional benefits.
Every year thousands of pounds of unclaimed boat property is recovered by the Police, a worrying thought for boat owners and marinas alike. Whilst customers are leaving their ‘pride and joy’ with you, they are going to want to know that their boat is safe 24/7.
One Marina utilising IP security to its full advantage is Bradwell Marina, who have combined clear security monitoring for themselves, with the additional benefit of giving Marina members secure video access to see their own property is safe, from anywhere in the world.
Through the Jabbakam service, the Marina can grant access to the specific member’s pontoon cameras, allowing them to log in to their Jabbakam account and access the latest footage via their computer or internet enabled smartphone.
What’s more, boat owners can can then add additional private cameras to their boats interior, providing increased security. And again, if the owner wishes, these cameras can be shared again between the community or by friends – all secure, all online, accessible from anywhere.
Benefits & Features
Within an installation like this, image clarity is key; security cameras must provide clear footage during both day and night – and as Y-cam cameras can offer nightvision, with a true day and night IR cut filter, they provide the perfect fit for an installation such as this.
In addition, Y-cam cameras offer a huge variety of indispensable features including wireless connections, remote viewing via an internet enabled device, plus motion detection with alerts, meaning that the marina and customer can be notified immediately on motion, eliminating false alarms and providing a quick reaction if needed.
Bradwell Marina have found that one of the most useful features of their Y-cam’s is it’s two way audio, allowing for monitoring of entrances plus the ability to talk directly to site as well as hear a response and providing the opportunity to guide visitors through the marina itself.
All Y-cam cameras are designed to be easy to install at a low cost, plus once the installation is in place it is extremely easy to expand onto the network with additional cameras, allowing your system to grow with your business.
With the use of Y-cam cameras and Jabbakam, the installation and monitoring of a community security camera network has been simplified, creating a straightforward system at a fraction of the price of conventional CCTV.
