OLAS: Wireless Marine Safety Hack 2.0.1

Screenshots

Description

The Exposure OLAS mobile App tracks OLAS transmitters (OLAS Tag or OLAS Float-On) around your vessel ensuring all crew, family, kids and pets are safely onboard. If the virtual tether between phone and transmitter is broken OLAS will trigger a high-volume alarm and store the GPS location to aid in fast recovery of person or pet who has gone overboard. Compass format is used to direct back to the stored GPS point of loss. If a swift recovery is not possible the location is automatically input into a VHF man overboard script to aid in concise information transfer to the emergency services.
SOLO MODE will automatically send an SMS to a designated mobile phone (GSM signal required) if the alert is not cancelled within a set amount of time.

The App can track OLAS transmitter in 3 ways:
1. Tracking the signal directly from upto 6 OLAS transmitter creating a system suitable for any vessel upto 40ft.
2. Tracking upto 15 OLAS transmitters and full function control of the OLAS Core, a 5V USB hub, creating a system suitable for any vessel upto 50ft.
3. Tracking upto 15 OLAS transmitters and full function control of the OLAS Guardian, a 12V wired hub which acts as a crew tracker and engine kill switch.

Guardian control features:
• Customise the OLAS transmitters name
• Check OLAS tag battery status
• Enable/Disable cut-off switch for individual OLAS transmitters
• Enable/Disable OLAS transmitters
• Pause all tracking

Core control features:
• Customise the OLAS transmitters name
