First Watch is a concept developed by Sirrus for marina managers and boat owners to view their boats at the marina live on their office or home computer, using a standard internet connection. The firm is aiming the service at marina managers, enabling them to provide a chargeable safety and security service to their berth holders. CCTV images are relayed from the cameras to a web server which gives customers the ability to see their boat live on their computer from the First Watch web site, 24-365. Paul Davey, Sirrus’ Managing Director, says: “We believe that by implementing First Watch it will give the marina a wireless CCTV security system that not only enhances the marina?s reputation, but will also enable the marina manager to make additional revenue from the system at the same time. The marina manager can decide on a subscription rate and charge the service out to their berth holders”. The marina manager can use First Watch for several purposes: security, for berth utilisation and traffic management, even a marketing tool.
