The NAV-TRACKER 2.0 is the most popular version of the system and adds the ability to locally arm & disarm the system and incorporate a wide range of security & monitoring sensors. This is the system that has been responsible for most of the recent recoveries. The system will send multiple daily position reports, at the interval selected by the user. The interval range is between once every 5 minutes to once every 24 hours, and can be updated on the website at anytime.

The advantages of this system are in the additional accessories that can be added. The most popular sensor is the infrared beam sensor. When this sensor is armed an invisible IR beam is sent between two ?fish eyes?. In the event the beam is broken, the NAV-TRACKER will send out emails & text messages to notify recipients that the system is ?in alarm? along with the vessels position and other information.

There is also an optional siren that can be tied into the system and set to go off when the security sensors are breached. There are two schools of thought on this as some customers prefer the criminals not know that there presence has been detected to give time for a response by law enforcement: however, other customers want to scare the criminals away to find another, easier, target to try and steal. Either way the system has proven instrumental saving vessels under each circumstance.

There are several other sensors that can be tied into the NAV-TRACKER 2.0 including, but not limited to:

• Door contacts
• Motion detectors
• Deck pressure sensors
• Canvas snap sensors
• Outboard engine detachment sensors
• High water sensors
• Low voltage sensors
• Or any normally open sensing device

It should be noted under the current configuration of the NAV-TRACKER 2.0 the system will give a general ?in alarm? notification when any one of the sensors are tripped
