Q: Do I need an Oversea Hub to use sensors on my boat?

The Oversea sensors communicate to the Oversea mobile app via a Hub, so they need a Hub to operate. But it doesn't necessarily have to be your Hub! If one of your dock buddies has a Hub and his boat is close by yours (whether in the water or out) then your sensors can connect to his Hub. Some marinas may also offer Hub sharing. We offer sensor-only subscriptions for Oversea users that use someone else's Hub Keep in mind that without your own Hub, you won't get to utilize its location-on-demand capability or its boat movement detection features. And if your friend with the Hub is on the water, you wouldn't be able to get sensor alerts.

Q: What types of sensors does Oversea offer?

Skyhawk currently offers eight different sensors to help you oversee your boat's safety, security and readiness. These sensors are: Battery Sensor : Monitors your battery voltage and alerts you if it's too low or drops too rapidly Bilge Pump Sensor : Monitors the operation of your bilge pump and alerts you if its running too frequently or for too long Bilge High-Water Sensor: Detects high water levels in the bilge, ensuring early detection of potential flooding issues. This sensor also measures and reports the bilge temperature Entry Sensor : Attaches to your doors, hatches, cabinets, lockers and alerts you if someone has opened them Shore Power Sensor : Notifies you if your shore power connection is lost for any reason PIR Motion Sensor : Alerts you if it detects movement within its "viewing cone" of 100 degrees. Range of 16 ft Sound Sensor: Monitors for loud sounds (greater than 80 dB) such as smoke detector or CO2 and alerts you immediately when they sound THW Sensor : Alerts you when the bilge level hits the height you set, and also monitors the temperature and humidity around it

Q: Is a subscription required to use Oversea?

Yes, you will need to subscribe your Oversea devices to connect them to the mobile app. Subscriptions are purchased on the Oversea app as part of the setup process for each device.

Q: Do you offer seasonal subscriptions?

Unlike other boat monitoring systems, Oversea is designed to monitor your boat all year round. Since all Oversea devices run on off-the-shelf batteries, for multiple years, you can keep monitoring active for security and safety features whether your boat is in the water, on a trailer, in storage or anywhere else. Theft doesn't stop in the off-season; the majority of boat thefts occur when the boat is on a trailer. As such, we don't provide a seasonal subscription rate since our goal is to protect your boat at all times during the year.
