Why is the internal microphone important?
1. Accident Investigations
The event of an accident or incident, investigators use data from the VDR to recreate events before it. Although records about the ship’s speed, its heading, and performance in relation to the vessels’ engines are as important, audios add layers of explanation. The internal microphone is said to record conversations at the bridge and help investigators make sense of the decisions made by the crew during such critical moments.
2. Crew Accountability and Training
Often, it is that audio that can tell all the stories regarding whether the crew has done things right. It is transparent and accountable. For instance, during cases of misunderstanding or conflict between the members of the crew, the internal microphone records those communications so that your superiors will make a just decision from those records. And the recordings may become a training tool for the crews to learn from previous voyages and improve performance.
3. Compliance Regulatory
International regulations over maritime impose the requirement for VDR systems to have an audio. The internal microphone on the Netwave Rutter Rut-01019-AA ensures adherence to these requirements, among which is the SOLAS convention of the International Maritime Organization that requires fitting and proper performance of the VDR.
4. Real-time monitoring
While the internal microphone is essentially used in post-voyage analysis, it may, in particular circumstances, be used real-time. In some instances, monitoring teams may listen to the live audio feeds from the bridge, thus ensuring appropriate protocols are being followed in critical junctures of navigation such as when docking or traversing congested areas.
Key Features of Netwave Rutter Rut-01019-AA Internal Microphone
The Netwave Rutter Rut-01019-AA features several built-in key components that uniquely position the microphone in its role on board:
Highly Sensitive: The microphone is very sensitive and picks up even the slightest sounds so that no audio is missed whatsoever in any place. This is especially important when the scene is quite quiet, such as when one can hear some alarm in the background.
Noise Reduction: The mic is equipped with advanced noise reduction. This would enable it to filter most unimportant ambient noises so the alarms, conversations, and other important sounds are recorded distinctly without interference from wind or engine noise.
Durability: Rut-01019-AA internal microphone operates with strains of ruggedness as in any marine environment and can still perform consistently with its resistance to moisture, salt air, and temperature variation.
International Standards Compliance: Being a part of the VDR system, the microphone adheres to all international standards, in addition to the IMO. This ensures that the audio recorded meets the standards which define maritime security.
