Check your vessel’s status from anywhere
Owning a boat comes with some worries. A common concern occurs when you're not physically onboard your boat, the weather is bad or you've anchored at a new location.
It is also incredibly easy to forget how much fuel or water you've got on your tanks before heading out on a boating trip.
Remote Access an advanced functionality of the Orca Core will help you worry a bit less with these things.
This is Remote Access
Remote Access is designed to give you peace of mind. It does so by allowing you to view in real-time the status of your boat, even when you are away from the boat.
Remote Access works by having the Orca Core broadcast its location, motion and NMEA 2000 sensor data to the Orca Cloud via the internet. You can in turn view your boat's location and all your instrument data – as if you were onboard your boat. All you need is to turn on your Orca Core and have a WiFi access point in your boat or harbor.
Wondering if your boat is still anchored where you left it? Curious about your fuel and battery levels? Wherever you are, just check in your boat, and you'll have access to real-time sensor data, ensuring that your boat is always ready for your next adventure.
