General
The system lets you survey a number of functions onboard your boat in an other continent, from your computer at home, your smart phone or from a reading pad. The system permits up to 10 different alarm receivers to get alerts by email or text message. The communication between you and your boat, are routed over our central servers which gives us the possibility to transfer information to the Police or Coast guard around the world.
This enables you to monitor if your boat is being moved, intrusion or break-ins, if the boat´s batteries are losing power, temperature on board, fire or smoke. You can also follow your boats positions around the world, regardless if you are on board or not. A great feature for boats that are chartered. In addition to these functions you can activate (or deactivate) electronic equipment onboard your boat.

Proven technology
Complete server back-end solution
Few GSM-based boat alarms are server-based and rely instead on direct SMS notifications. This is a risk due to the fact that SMS has one of the lowest priorities in the GSM network and operators does not guarantee SMS delivery. C Security Systems has acknowledged this risk and rely instead on our servers which will send you SMS continuously until you disarm your alarm. You will never miss an alarm!
Custom designed for marine use
C-pod’s components has been thoroughly selected and tested to resist humidity, water, salt, extreme temperature and corrosive environments. C-pod has been installed and proven in boats in over 50 countries.
Surveillance
C-pod communicates with the server continuously and store your boats status automatically. If four communication attempts fails you will be notified immediately, this feature makes any attempt of using GSM jammers useless and you will always know if your boat is not under surveillance.
FCC approved for the US
C-pod has been approved by the Federal Communications Commission in the United States of America.
