Problem
Boat owners face the persistent threat of theft and damage to their vessels and equipment, particularly outboard motors. Traditional GPS tracking systems primarily focus on recovery after a theft has occurred, offering limited preventative measures. Monitoring boats for environmental changes and potential theft attempts requires constant vigilance, which is difficult for owners to maintain remotely.
Solution
Seagrid offers a certified boat alarm system designed to prevent theft by providing early warnings of intrusion attempts. The system utilizes a multi-sensor alarm that attaches to the outboard motor and connects to a base unit, detecting vibrations, tilts, and impacts. This triggers real-time alerts to the boat owner's mobile device via the Seagrid app, enabling immediate response and preventing potential losses. The system also monitors environmental factors, such as battery levels, providing comprehensive oversight of the vessel's condition.
Target Audience
Seagrid targets boat owners seeking proactive theft prevention and remote monitoring capabilities, as well as boat clubs and marinas looking to enhance security for their members' vessels.
