Comparison

VisuShip and the common types of boat monitoring

There are many ways to keep an eye on a boat remotely. Here you can see how they differ, without brand names.

For owners

You want to know that everything on the boat is fine, even when you are not aboard. What matters is whether you only get a position and an alarm, or can understand and operate the whole installation.

For installers and workshops

Your customers often already have a sensor box or a manufacturer app. Here you can see where VisuShip goes further, and why installation, service and cloud become a second source of income.
