Crew surveillace

[jimi]

As i rest in my bunk whilst skippering, I'd like to keep an eye on my crew. Can anyone suggest suitable equipment with low power draw and suggestions as to where best to site the surveillance equipment?

A.T.M @ the helm
or Mobi Cell antenne @ the mast Hd
Tesco check-out @ the chart table including loyalty points

Re: Crew surveillance

Wot about a hammock on deck?
You could keep an eye on the weather as well.

Eye camera on the mast under the boom looking aft.
Another on the binnacle to register the fear on the helmsmans face close to.

Alternative is to note the motion when you lie down in the aft cabin. If it changes significantly, wake up and shout through the aft cabin window into the cockpit.

Suggest you buy an eye patch then you can rest the covered eye

 

[longjohnsadler]

Oh no.
I can see some 'eye eye skipper' sort of posts erupting...

Are you wanting an early alert, or something more forensic?

 

[BrendanS]

Isn't what this is a Master-at-arms is for? Very low power consumption, and can administer keel hauling and cat o' nine tails in your absence

A suitably trained parrot or raven may do the job.

take some young children along..... "he just did.... she just did..... "

This is obviously voyeurism, and not to be commended
spect you'll be bugging their cabins next, to hear what
they are saying about (capt Bligh syndrome i expect)
Possibly early stages of marine paranoia i should'nt
wonder

 

[iangrant]

oh you'll wake up when they [--word removed--] up

!!!!!

CCTV linked into a 42in plasma screen opposite your pilots berth, plus an ankle tag on any crew who have ASPO's.

Jamesie
I'm rather perplexed that you post this.
You will recall when parahandy cut my lovely new piece of Dyneema after his monumental balls-up of a calculation concerning the extendable Spinnaker Pole and your immediate and what I thought a particularly succinct observation...
"Ferfecksake Claysie - ye needs eyes up yer airse when these buggersis aboot"

You had the answer all the while.

That might explain his blood shot eyes then - hemorrhoids?

Re: Crew surveillance

Hmmm... Jimi is right to be cautious. Excuse my reprising an old thread:

So, my advice is to emerge stealthily and unannounced from time to time, posting evidence of any unsatisfactory results here. This will result in either (a) a very tight ship or (b) a profound crew shortage.

jamesie wus thinking youse'd be unwise tae step oot in oban wearin' yer seterday nicht ootfit orra twin-set and pearls. nothing to do with ony bit o' string

It depends why you want to keep an eye on them. If it is just so you can keep all the biscuits for yourself, perhaps it is easier just to lock up the biscuits.

I think the cameras I need will have to be image stabilised which will be expensive so I'm thinking of instituting a watch system, perhaps colour coded .. do you think it'll work?
