System Components

This new system records a vast array of onboard activity, including audio (both speech and ambient sound), radar, time, position, speed, heading, telegraph demand, engine and propeller activity, as well as a host of additional information.

As every ship is unique, we have designed the VER4000 to be totally flexible to allow easy integration into the many different systems that we have encountered. In order to achieve this adaptability and to allow user-friendly playback of the recorded information, our engineers break new ground at the cutting edge of technology.

This technology, now patent protected, gives unsurpassed advantages in recording onboard activity. Yet this range of capabilities has been achieved without sacrificing the key benefits of simplicity and reliability. The onboard equipment operates fully automatically, with no need for attention except in the event of an incident.

The onboard system consists of two units:

Main Electronics Enclosure (M.E.E.) Bulkhead mounting Designed for installation on the bridge or in an adjacent equipment room Automatic operation A removable compact flash card stores data for immediate, easy analysis onboard or ashore.
Protective Capsule Houses the solid state memory 12 -24 hours continuous recording using solid-state memory Deck mounting Designed to withstand extreme conditions, thereby protecting the stored data.
