Description
AISnet AIS Base Station
AISnet is a new AIS receiver for use as an AIS base station at home or in the office. Using the same high-performance dual-channel AIS receiver as the rest of the Digital Yacht range, the AISnet also features an ethernet socket so you can connect it to your broadband router and send AIS data to an online AIS tracking service.
There are now a large number of web-based websites that offer a view of AIS-equipped vessels against a backdrop, allowing users to check the position and identity of ships and pleasure craft. If your home/office is near the coast and you would like to contribute your data to one of these websites, simply register with the company and they will provide you with an IP address and port number.
Using the Digital Yacht provided installer, it takes seconds to program the IP address and port into AISnet, which will immediately begin seamlessly sending your local AIS data over the internet to appear on the website.
It is also possible to view the data collected by AISnet locally on your computer using the free SmarterTrack Lite software that Digital Yacht includes with every AISnet. Simply plug the USB connector into your computer and the AIS data will be displayed on your computer and streamed over the internet.
AISnet is supplied with a universal UK/EU/US power adaptor that provides a regulated 12v power supply from a 240v/110v AC mains.
