Security sells as cameras become the must-have gadget
Press Release: 13/03/2014
For immediate release
Millions are being spent by superyacht owners on technological advances, from room control systems that set the mood to the iPad-controlled Adastra. However, Net Dream Systems, an IT and audio-visual consultant has announced that sales for its internet-enabled security cameras have soared in recent months.
Security is a huge sector in the superyacht market and NDS’ system enables authorised access to cameras via web browser, iPad, laptop, iPod or TV display worldwide, which means owners and crews can monitor a yacht’s security systems remotely.
Nishan de Silva, CEO of Net Dream Systems (NDS) spoke to Yachting Pages and explained, “Our security systems can trigger an alarm which sends a message to the control system to lock doors and flash the lights.”
Yacht security is a worldwide concern, so technology in this area is becoming more and more sophisticated, with larger investment.
However, technological advances are not merely restricted to yacht security; NDS is particularly proud of its TV Box. The box allows users to watch UK or alternative television around the world, regardless of their satellite system. Nishan said, “It is a stream based system requiring 2 meg per internet stream, and is designed to work over VSAT, 4G and alternatives. The receiver is not much bigger than a smart phone, it connects to the yacht’s network and into a TV and it’s ready to go.
“We see the system as a get out of jail free card, allowing you to watch a UK football match for example, anywhere in the world. It is intended for use in a single area such as the salon, due to the bandwidth constraints of VSAT, but internet contracts are rarely restricted by the amount of data, so this is a great achievement.”
Nishan de Silva has been a technology consultant in the IT industry for over 25 years and is extremely passionate about providing solutions to the yachting and high-end residential markets.
Nishan explained to Yachting Pages, “We offer a range of IT products and services, another one I am particularly excited about is a management system that monitors all on-board technology from one place in real time to highlight potential issues, before they become huge problems.”
Net Dream Systems’ management system has recently been rolled out and has already been installed on five yachts.
Despite strong competition from modern gadgets, entertainment systems, internet technology and such management systems, security cameras appear to be the ‘must-have’ item so far this year.
Net Dream Systems is working with Yachting Pages Media Group, to reach out to the superyacht sector.
