Abstract
A boat security system based on two-way paging technology to allow immediate notification of any abnormal situations that the boat owner chooses to monitor. In response to an abnormal condition, affirmative action may be taken such as generating an audible alarm, disabling the boat, or enabling a tracking device. The system communicates alarm condition employing the ReFLEX™ two way paging technology and, when coupled to an alphanumeric pager, allowing for reporting of status conditions of the boat can be obtained. The basic embodiment includes a alarm functions for the bilge including bilge cycles, battery strength, door and hatch sensors, a shock sensor for detecting an impact such as dock line breakage.
