Collection: Security Systems

Keeping tabs on a boat from ashore requires layering a few different technologies, and the products here cover that ground. Siren Marine offers a wired sensor ecosystem with individual add-ons for motion detection, shore power status, bilge monitoring, magnetic reed switches, and canvas snap covers, all tied to a cellular and GPS antenna for remote reporting. Sensar's BM800 Boat Monitor works across 12 to 48 volt systems and supports an Expansion Hub for additional sensors. The GOST Kasper Tracker focuses on GPS location, and Speco Tech provides HD-TVI camera hardware for on-board video surveillance.

Before choosing, check whether your boat's voltage matches the monitor you're considering, and decide if you need cellular connectivity, GPS tracking, or both. Wired sensor systems require planning, so map out sensor locations and cable routes before you buy. Camera selections differ by lens angle and mounting style, so consider your sightlines and available mounting surfaces. Siren Marine's modular approach lets you start with a base kit and add sensors over time, which works well if you want to build coverage gradually.
