Marine Marketing Releases a Revolutionary Marine Alarm System – VoiceAlarm, The Only Marine Alarm System That Can’t Be Ignored.
Tierra Verde, FL – August 4,
2003 – Twenty years of developing and bringing quality marine products and services
to the global marketplace brought recognition to Marine Marketing that there was a
complete absence of a marine security alarm system developed to meet the exclusive needs
of the boating industry. Existing alarm
systems sold purporting to be “marine alarm systems” were typically nothing more
than a home, commercial, or car alarm. Marine
Marketing recognized there was not a widespread use of these “marine alarm systems”
due to high failure rates and frequent false alarms. A marine environment rendered these
systems useless, or of little value or reliability.
The VoiceAlarm concept was
envisioned in 2001 with the initiative of developing a true marine alarm system that would
address the significant faults in available systems. During
2001, 2002, and the first half of 2003 Marine Marketing, in conjunction with a sister
company with over 30 years of experience in the security industry, developed and tested
the product addressing each of the shortcomings of alarm systems currently available in
the marine marketplace.
Development criteria of VoiceAlarm
mandated that the product be; a) designed to last the life of the boat, b) that all
components and circuit boards of the basic unit be manufactured in the United States to
marine specifications developed by Marine Marketing, c) that all components, accessories,
and options be tested for reliability and durability for one year prior to the release of
the product, d) that the system have no repair part that cost more than $50.00 and the
average diagnostic and repair time to be less than 30 minutes with such diagnostics being
easily undertaken by the boat owner, e) that the system be virtually false alarm free, f)
amperage draw on ship’s batteries of less than 50ma when armed, and g) that alarm
event notification would be via various methods that would assure that an alarm event
would never be ignored.
In the process of the development
of VoiceAlarm Marine Marketing found necessary the auxiliary development of the first
Cellular AutoDialer that uses a standard Nokia or Motorola cellular phone available from
virtually all cellular service providers, free, with monthly service at $19. This Cellular AutoDialer allows a boater with a
VoiceAlarm system, or his designee(s) to be immediately notified, at up to 8 phone numbers
anywhere in the world, that his boat has experience an alarm condition and exactly what
the condition is, in his own recorded voice. This
method of alarm event notification, and available notification via 1.2ghz Radio
Transmitted Notification, and a 240 watt On-Board Speaker System guarantee that an alarm
condition on a boat protected by VoiceAlarm cannot go ignored.
VoiceAlarm detects and notifies
for events of intrusion, high bilge water, shore power failure, low ship’s battery
condition and more through the use of high quality, false-free, sensors. InfraRed Camera Vessel monitoring with InfraRed
Cameras have the ability to transmit live video and audio from the boat to a shore side
facility and/or record the video and audio on the ship’s standard Video Cassette
Recorder (VCR) is available as an option. These
cameras provide crisp clear video in total darkness.
Since the release of VoiceAlarm in
July of 2003, Marine Marketing has entered into distribution agreements with leading
suppliers of marine electronics in
