Digital Yacht NavAlert NMEA Monitor & Alarm System – Wireless Boat Safety & Remote Monitoring

NavAlert NMEA Monitor Alarm System

NavAlert is Digital Yachts latest innovation and allows an alarm to be set for any parameter thats available on the boats NMEA 2000 network. That could be navigation data such as depth, heading, or speed, as well as electrical data such as voltage and engine/generator data including temperature, pressure, tank levels, fuel flow, etc.

It connects anywhere on the NMEA 2000 network and takes power from this connection, so installation is super simple. A local WiFi network is created by NavAlert, so setup is possible via any smartphone, tablet, or PC. Simply choose the parameter to monitor and set an alarm level.

Alarms/Alerts

Integrated into NavAlert is a custom alarm for anchor drift using an algorithm to calculate the optimum drift radius based on depth and the scope of the chain for reliable notifications. Theres also an anti-collision alarm based on CPA (closest point of approach) and TCPA (time to the closest point of approach) AIS data from a connected AIS. These alerts can also be monitored through the wireless interface with attractive graphical displays of current status.

Alarms can also generate an SMS message, which can be relayed through Digital Yachts 4GXtream internet connectivity solution, allowing remote monitoring, which is great for feeling secure that the anchor is holding well when enjoying a lunch ashore. Alarms are independent of any alarms set on a plotter, allowing NavAlert to operate even without a primary multi-function display being powered up (an important feature for power-limited sailboats).

Alerts can also be relayed to compatible multi-function devices (Garmin supports this function) for a pop-up data window indicating an alert and the ability to acknowledge it.

*NavAlert is universal, using the industry standard NMEA 2000 data protocol, so it will integrate with all leading brands and systems.

Operation

The operation is simple. Simply search for the WiFi network that NavAlert creates and connect via a smartphone or tablet. Open a browser and connect to NavAlert, and users are presented with a clear graphical interface allowing easy setup, configuration, and viewing of the alerts and network data. NavAlert constantly monitors the whole network, so alert parameters can be set for any variable.

Users can configure the NavAlert through its simple web interface. Just open a web browser, enter the NavAlerts IP address, and users can change the network name and password, or even merge the WiFi to an existing WiFi network on board So no complicated programming software or app is required.

The Digital Yacht NavAlert NMEA Monitor & Alarm System offers boat owners a comprehensive and easy-to-install solution for monitoring essential vessel parameters via the NMEA 2000 network. Designed for seamless integration, the NavAlert connects directly to your boat’s NMEA 2000 network and draws power from it, eliminating complex wiring. Its built-in WiFi creates a local network, allowing setup and configuration from any smartphone, tablet, or PC through a simple web interface. This system enables you to select and monitor multiple parameters such as depth, heading, speed, voltage, engine temperature, pressure, tank levels, and fuel flow, providing real-time alerts that keep you informed of your vessel’s critical data at all times.

Features:

• Multiple parameters can be monitored and customized with configurable alarms for safety and performance

• Simple wireless setup: Connect via WiFi and configure through a web browser without special software

• Integrated anchor drift alarm uses an algorithm to calculate the drift radius based on depth and chain scope for reliable notifications

• AIS collision avoidance alarm based on CPA (Closest Point of Approach) and TCPA (Time to Closest Point of Approach) data from connected AIS systems

• Remote alert notifications: Send SMS alerts through Digital Yachts' 4G Xtream system, enabling remote boat monitoring even when ashore

• Compatibility with Garmin multi-function displays for pop-up alarm alerts and acknowledgment, ensuring easy onboard monitoring
