The Marine Guardian Difference

The Marine Guardian (TMG) manufactures hybrid Cellular/ Satellite security, tracking and monitoring solutions for vessels of all sizes.  Boat owners and Captains choose our system to protect their vessel, gain peace of mind, receive insurance discounts, or in some cases, to meet mandatory insurance requirements for coverage.  Whatever a customer’s priority, TMG has a market leading solution.

2 is better than 1 – When using Satellite Communication

The key difference is feedback: 2-way systems like The Guardian offer interactive dialogue, essential for real-time control and monitoring, whereas 1-way systems deliver data in one direction, from satellite to ground for services like GPS.

Our devices use the Iridium 2-way satellite network, giving you monitoring and control of connected devices when beyond cellular range.  With other systems that use 1-way satellite, you lose monitoring and control capability when beyond cellular range.

Iridium 2-Way Iridium Satellite Network

Iridium’s unique constellation of 66 Low Earth Orbit satellites makes it the only network that covers 100% of the planet. Satellites are cross-linked to provide reliable, low-latency, weather-resilient connections that enable communication anywhere in the world. Something that high orbit Geostationary cannot perform as well.

Global 2G/3G/4G LTE Cellular Communication

Our devices use 2G/3G/4G LTE-M to ensure compatibility in 142 countries, including all of the Bahamas. While some systems claim to work in the Bahamas, they fail to mention only where 4G is available.  Some islands and locations around the world still use older cellular technology.

Beyond monitoring, our TMG 2.0 solution can remotely control your connected devices such as lights, bilge, alarm or even shut off your engines – seamlessly in cellular or satellite coverage.

Security

We use a 5 point security system to protect your boat, plus the electronics and gear. First, the infrared beam is designed for exterior use and is perfect for an open boat like a center console.  Strategically placed at the helm or another entry point, your electronics and gear are protected by the invisible security beam. Second, the door or hatch sensors protect cabins, engine rooms and any other stored gear behind a door or hatch.  Third, a theft fence detects boat movement via the internal accelerometer. Fourth, The ear piercing 125-decibel siren has 9 distinct sounds which is comparable to a jet engine at take off.  Fifth, the LED strobe light has 16 flash patterns for added deterrence.

When a security feature is tripped, the boat alarm will sound and an automated voice call rings you immediately.

See and hear the boat alarm in action.

Technology

Built from the ground up for the marine environment means long lasting, reliable devices that are resistant to corrosion, moisture and vibration.  As a hard wired system, our sensors are immune to frequency interference and don’t rely on batteries that can fail and send false alarms. Besides you, marina personal,  dock neighbors, and the police will enjoy the reliability of security and monitoring without false alarms.

Footprint

The small footprint of the TMG control unit and sensors make it easy to conceal on any boat.  There are no large wireless or repurposed home home security sensors to be found with our system.
