Liquid Automation completed a large, systematic overhaul of the boat lighting, blind control & CCTV systems.
CCTV System
The entire system underwent a transformation, transitioning from two distinct analog systems to a comprehensive Avigilon IP solution. This solution comprises 32 cameras, ranging from long-range PTZ cameras to high-resolution 360-degree cameras and fixed-angle cameras.
All these cameras can be monitored from six dedicated monitoring stations strategically positioned throughout the ship, each equipped with up to three 2k monitors.
Lighting Control
Due to Lutron’s discontinuation of the originally installed Lighting and window treatment control system, all necessary control hardware had to be replaced, and a comprehensive reprogramming of the system was required.
The programming aspect of this project was extensive, with Lighting circuits and window treatments utilizing up to 10 Lutron processors. Each button was equipped with two modes, one for anchor and one for cruising.
Given the presence of over 20 crew members living and working onboard, the changeover had to be implemented in stages. This allowed the staff to utilize the original system during non-working hours until the project was fully commissioned. Once the programming had been approved, the old system was permanently removed, and the new products were installed permanently.
CAT-16 GSM Data Solution
Additionally, we implemented a Cat-16 Pepwave solution, coupled with a Speed fusion VPN tunnel, to establish a robust and high-speed GSM data connection throughout the vessel, particularly in proximity to land.
AV/ IT Documentation Update
Through the reverse engineering process conducted using Crestron Programs and a systematic review of the AV racks, a comprehensive schematic diagram documentation package was meticulously crafted. This documentation was specifically designed to provide invaluable assistance to the ETOs stationed on board the yacht, as well as to offer remote support.
