WatchKeeper and Accident Prevention
Collisions are one of the leading causes of serious marine accidents. They often involve debris, unlit buoys, marine mammals, or even people in the water—hazards that radar or AIS frequently miss. Nighttime only makes this risk greater. Coming into harbor late, with low visibility and buoys blending into the dark water, can turn a routine arrival into a nerve-racking experience.
Watchkeeper changes that by combining ultra-wide 4K optics with optional thermal imaging and AI trained on millions of marine objects. With these capabilities, Watchkeeper detects and classifies hazards, calculates risk, and alerts crews to urgent dangers—day or night.
Key Benefits of the WatchKeeper Series
The entry-level dawn-to-dusk model has seven configurations designed to fit a wide range of vessels and navigation styles. Options range from low-light optical setups to whole thermal imaging for 24/7 coverage. More benefits include
- Easy installation and seamless integration with onboard electronics
- Clean, modern hardware available in black or white
- Simple, intuitive interface with clear alerts and minimal training
- Built-in LTE for automatic updates, diagnostics, and remote support
- Watchkeeper delivers advanced technology in a way that’s remarkably easy to use.
SEA.AI Goes Beyond Radar and AIS
SEA.AI is a machine vision system based on thermal (IR) and color cameras. It uses the latest AI technology to detect anything floating on the water.
SEA.AI is an intuitive and easy-to-use device, providing an extra layer of safety by detecting and alarming of objects a radar might miss. AIS is an active transponder system used on commercial vessels and some recreational boats. SEA.AI can detect objects even without or with an inactive AIS using machine vision technology.
