Protecting the boat and the pontoon.
On a canal estate the back of the house is the most exposed side. Pontoons sit metres from neighbouring water, and boats can carry thousands of dollars in electronics and outboards.
We position cameras to cover the pontoon, the boat and the path to the house, with analytics that ignore water movement and wildlife. Alerts go to your phone with a short clip, so you can see what happened in seconds.
Where cabling to the pontoon is impractical, a short wireless link carries video back to the recorder. Gangways and pontoon hinges move with the tide, so we avoid fixed cable runs across them and mount equipment where it stays clear of mooring lines and fenders.
Canal-side priorities
- Cameras covering pontoon, boat and lawn
- Detection that ignores ripples and birds
- Event-triggered lighting on the water side
- Corrosion-resistant mounts and housings
- Recorded footage kept securely on site
A single system for the whole home.
Most owners want one app, not four. We bring cameras, alarm, intercom and keyless entry together so arming the house, checking the pontoon and letting someone in are all done in one place.
If the home is a holiday base, we tune notifications for an absent owner: fewer, clearer alerts and monitoring when it counts.
Common questions.
What happens if a camera picks up someone on my pontoon at night?
You receive an alert with a clip. If the home is armed and monitored, the monitoring centre can respond as well.
Do salt and canal water affect equipment?
They do over time. We specify sealed, corrosion-resistant hardware and stainless fixings, and recommend periodic servicing.
Can I see my cameras when I am overseas?
Yes. The app works anywhere with an internet connection and footage is encrypted.
