VTracker Overview
Nautic Alert VTracker™ tracks the location of your boat or yacht in real-time with unmatched precision.
Using the award-winning Nautic Alert SMART geofence technology, it will learn and detect the location
and a change to the location in as little as 250 ft with the included low profile antennas, or 50 ft. with
the optional performance antennas using an onboard self-aware geofence, rather than a web-based
geofence. VTracker also provides anchor alarm capability, while meeting or exceeding insurance
requirements.
With the secured Nautic Alert Cloud™, you can connect directly to your onboard VTracker using the
Iridium® NEXT global satellite network and request on-demand location information, receive automatic
location updates and other information, at any time from your mobile or web enabled devices.
VTracker optional capabilities provide a set of dedicated input and output ports for a backup battery to
enable full fault-redundancy and notifications of primary battery loss, for intrusion detection sensors
and/ or SOS button for security or safety notifications and / or a localized switch for arming/disarming
the build-in geofence, for a float switch and high water notifications, and for a remotely controlled
engine kill switch or a switch to turn on an air conditioner, and more.
A dedicated momentary switch can be used for either SOS functionality or to arm and disarm the
geofence locally, allowing for the 12V output to indicate the armed state or SOS state of the device. In
this mode, the 12V switch output is not remotely controlled and used for other purposes.
VTracker can be installed easily and communicates through most fiberglass and composite hulls with the
included low profile antennas. Integrated push buttons and LEDs offer a quick setup and ability to test
features during installation without requiring live connectivity. Optional high performance antennas and
LMR cables are also available as alternative options to the included low profile antennas, and are highly
recommended for the best experience.
