Voyage Data Recorder (VDR)

Quark-elec’s Voyage Data Recorders (VDR) log vital vessel data to the internal memory, and upload the data to the Quark Cloud server as long as there is an internet connection to the vessel. Whether the vessel’s internet connection is via a marina WiFi, satellite connection, GSM, cell phone modem, or any other type of internet connection, you will have access to the vessel from anywhere in the world.

The online backup function allows boat owners to download the tracking information and data from home, share the position with friends and family, or monitor environmental conditions remotely. Quark Cloud also allows a trained technician to be able to directly access the boat’s data log and perform any diagnostic or analytical work accordingly. All of which can be performed from a safe and remote place.

Whatever your need, Quark Cloud provides you with a seamless connection to your vessel for peace of mind and convenient access remotely, but don’t worry, nobody can view the data without prior authorisation, so you can rest assured knowing that your information is kept private, and you decide who to share it with.

Quark-elec now have two products supported by Quark Cloud; the A036 for boats that have deployed the new NMEA 2000 network system, and the A035 which is perfect for those using NMEA 0183 protocol boats.
