Intelligent docking awareness system with real-time obstacle detection

The Raymarine DockSense Alert 1 Camera System is an advanced assisted-docking solution designed to enhance situational awareness when manoeuvring in tight marina and harbour environments. Using intelligent stereo vision camera technology and onboard object recognition, it detects obstacles above the waterline and provides real-time visual alerts directly to compatible multifunction displays. The system delivers live video and proximity awareness to help identify pilings, dock edges, vessels, and other structures that may be outside the skipper’s natural line of sight. As a self-contained solution that does not rely on dockside transmitters or sensors, it improves confidence and reduces stress during close-quarters manoeuvring.

Key Features

• Intelligent Stereo Vision Camera: Utilises advanced machine-vision technology to detect and track objects above the waterline for improved docking awareness.
• Real-Time Video Feed: Displays live camera imagery on compatible multifunction displays for clear visual monitoring during manoeuvres.
• Visual Proximity Alerts: Provides on-screen warnings when objects are detected close to the vessel, helping reduce collision risk.
• Seamless Display Integration: Designed to integrate with compatible Raymarine multifunction displays for intuitive operation and monitoring.
• Single-Camera Configuration: Includes one stereo docking camera suitable for targeted monitoring areas such as stern or side approaches.
• Self-Contained Operation: Does not require external dockside infrastructure, allowing use in any marina or docking location.
• Enhanced Close-Quarters Safety: Assists with identifying pilings, docks, vessels, and fixed structures that may be difficult to see from the helm.
