GOST releases Argus boat monitoring system
Users can check statuses via the custom app
Global Ocean Security Technologies (GOST) has introduced GOST Argus – its fifth-generation wireless security and monitoring product line.
The marine security, tracking, monitoring and video surveillance systems producer has designed GOST Argus for larger vessels ranging from 50ft to over 300ft and offers improved user control, next-generation frequency rolling codes and significantly increased range.
The ‘most customisable and powerful system’ to date, GOST Argus system features a new 7-inch wireless touchscreen and access control for up to 200 external or internal doors, hatches, tenders and dock toys. It also monitors high water, smoke and AC/DC voltages, allowing users to check statuses via multiple installed screens or the custom app.
“Users can program specific rules for different access points, implement access control and create up to ten partitions – essentially security systems within the system,” says Brian Kane, president and CEO of GOST. This allows crew quarters, bedrooms or even safes to be managed individually, offering owners unprecedented control and situational awareness.
“The GOST Argus represents our fifth-generation wireless security and monitoring product line since we pioneered this industry in 2006. We approach our systems from a security-first perspective to document and generate response to all pertinent events aboard. This new line allows for sensor and user control with four times the range of previous generations to provides true protection through an isolated, UL-listed spectrum designed with a defensive approach, whether the owner is sleeping aboard or monitoring from afar.”
The system uses both wireless and hardwired sensors, supported by an innovative digital architecture. With GOST’s wide array of sensors, the system is fully customisable to meet any vessel’s layout and any customer’s priority. Additionally, the app provides push notifications and lets users send panic notices from their smartphones while ashore to arm the boat’s Argus system.
