New capabilities include the ability to report simultaneously via text message as well as traditional two-way voice. The unit can also now support up to 64 wireless sensors for security and monitoring and eight wireless relays to control numerous functions onboard. These include monitoring of high water in the bilge, battery bank low voltage, loss of shore power, temperatures in food freezers, smoke and intrusion.
Wireless deck pressure sensors, door sensors, dual optical passive infrared motion sensors and pull sensors alert to intrusion or potential theft of a vessel. Relays can be programmed to activate a siren and flashing lights when a sensor is triggered to get would-be thieves off a boat immediately. When an event occurs, GOST Phantom will contact up to eight phone numbers with a voice and/or text message relaying the vessel’s status and the event that has occurred.
Key fob control allows for easy arming/disarming and display the system’s status using visual (LED) and auditory feedback. The unit also allows for independent arming/disarming of two separate partitions such as main quarters and crew quarters on the vessel, offering two independent security systems in one.
The GOST Phantom also has a 'completely revamped sleek black design and a crisp blue LCD screen.'
It will maintain compatibility with the full line of GOST wireless security and monitoring sensors, GOST Inmarsat Satellite GPS Tracking and GOST Watch Surveillance systems.
GOST is at the Electronics Tent at FLIBS, booth 385, Bahia Mar.
