Core features
K
The SentinelPoint constantly monitors the battery level of your boat or
outboard, enabling you to check the remaining charge before you arrive to
use the vessel. SentinelPoint will send you an alert if the remaining battery
drops below a certain level or the battery lead is disconnected from the
SentinelPoint, enabling you to take pro-active steps to remedy this.
The battery alarm is also a security feature if used with an outboard motor, as
if you receive an alarm saying the battery lead has been disconnected it could
indicate that someone is attempting to steal your outboard. This gives you
time to alert the authorities to catch the perpetrator before it’s too late.
Battery alarm
This function enables you to create a virtual perimeter of 75m around the
home location of your boat and to receive an alert if it is moved outside this
area, and then a second alert when it is moved back in. The main security
feature of the SentinelPoint, an unexpected MOVEOUT alarm alerts you to the
unauthorised movement of your vessel, giving you the chance to activate the
tracking features and alert the authorities.
Geofence mooring alarm
Enabling this feature allows you to check the latitude and longitude of your
craft by sending a location SMS every 60 seconds. You can use this
information to plot where you have been on a map or chart, and you could
also use this to track your craft if it is stolen.
GPS tracking
The SentinelPoint can store up to three different phone numbers to alert in
case of emergency. This means that if an alarm is triggered there is a greater
chance of someone responding to the situation. It is recommend that if you
leave your boat at a marina one of the contact numbers is the marina’s duty
mobile phone.
Alerts to three people
With one SMS to the SentinelPoint you can find out the status of your boat or
outboard. The status message tells you the current GPS coordinates, home
GPS coordinates, battery level and whether tracking is enabled. We
recommend regularly checking the status of your craft so that you can be sure
of its wellbeing.
