Stored your boat for the winter? Maybe until better times? The BRNKL monitoring system will make sure your yacht is safe.
BRNKL One-Stop Solution
With the onset of COVID, many yachtsmen have been unable to get on boats for much longer than usual. But besides the pandemic, there are many other reasons why you have to leave the boat for a while. Perhaps you have mothballed your yacht until better times, or maybe for the winter period - in any case, you need to monitor its location from time to time. Fortunately, many remote monitoring systems are emerging. They are created in order to have an idea of the state and location of the yacht from anywhere in the world. Among such systems is BRNKL.
BRNKL is a Canadian made system. Thanks to it, you can accurately monitor the position of the yacht by GPS, as well as the status of the yacht's pumps and batteries. The basic set includes temperature and humidity sensors. There is also an accelerometer with a gyroscope in order to determine the roll and movement of the yacht.
Among other things, there are additional devices for monitoring. Can connect to shoreline power and cameras. Worried about hatches? It doesn't matter - put the wireless sensors that are included in the kit. With their help, you can track any opening of hatches, lockers, doors.
Features of use
BRNKL is installed on any yacht of any size. The system will notify you through the application on your mobile device about the status of the boat's systems. You don't have to monitor the application every morning - BRNKL will send you a notification about system operation anyway.
The GPS in the system is accurate and accurately displays the position of the boat. And this is without an installed external antenna, which would allow amplifying the signal. You can decrease or increase the tracking area. This way you will receive an alarm every time the boat leaves the tracked area.
Probably GPS is the most useful part of the system. Thanks to the accuracy of the system, you won't miss anything important. If you have any doubts about the movement of the yacht, you can always ask a friend who lives nearby to go and find out why she suddenly moved. Or go yourself if something extraordinary happened.
Complete set BRNKL
The base system consists of the BRNKL main unit. Batteries, bilge pumps and one external camera can be connected to it. There is also an optional BRNKL Mate device. It includes an additional wireless interface for connecting other sensors and connectors for another camera.
The BRNKL Mate is a fairly expensive upgrade that you can do without. But is the money saved worth your peace of mind? Modernization will provide additional monitoring of sensors on hatches, lockers, doors. These sensors, by the way, are equipped with replaceable batteries.
The installation time of the BRNKL system depends solely on its complexity. The basic version can be installed in a couple of hours without much effort. A more complex variation of the system with all available sensors, batteries, additional cameras can last an order of magnitude longer.
