Ideal for peace of mind

This system has clearly been designed by boatowners for boatowners. High quality construction ideal for the marine environment. We experienced a jammed on deck pump. With the help of the VirCru alert we were able to resolve the problem within 30 minutes. Ideal for peace of mind.

Great product

Arrived really quickly. Was super easy to install and set up. Just connect the hub, download the app and add the sensors. The app is really easy to use and works well. Does exactly what it says! There’s 30 days free ‘subscription’ to get you going. Really pleased with it.

Great product for tracking your boat and more

This review is for the launch bundle.

Bought this as a tracker for my boat, but it does so much more. Sitting in the garden I can see the voltage for both batteries, that the cabin door is closed, the sump is dry and that the cabin temperature is 30 degrees. After a few teething issues (one sensor had a hardware issue and got replaced in a couple of days), the system is now fully up and running.

While the mobile app does what it needs to (like showing the location of your boat), there is room for improvement, like being able to change to metric from imperial. It also takes a bit of time to fully understand what the different features does. Those are minor details though.

Overall very happy with my purchase.

Great product

Simple to order which arrived promptly as I needed to take it to Mallorca.
Very simple set up and install.

App works great, all in all does what it says on the tin with the option of expansion.

Grate British product.

I would like to give 5 stars geofencing lets the unit down

I would like to give 5 stars as the equipment is well made and offer a large range of systems to be monitored.
However, on installation the geofence only offers a minimum of 100m radius which is a long way to drift before being notified. also the lack of information regarding the facilities available on the App

Hi Mike, We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review, within the next release of the app which is coming soon, there will be the option to reduce the geofencing radius to 10m, we hope this info helps.

Very good product easy to install but a few things that need refining if you have I iPhone regarding the alarm sound and the geo-fencing. Once sorted out I would give VirCru a 5.

Great remote monitoring solution.

Easy to install and a cost-effective solution for remote boat monitoring. Being able to vary the geofence diameter and location for anchor drag monitoring would be an awesome addition to the system. Nevertheless, very happy with the Vircru solution.

Had great fun setting the system up! So easy and totally understanable to work with the app and the different components. Due to the small size of each component I could get reall creative and get the top cover of my outboard monitored as well as all 4 bilge wells.

Fantastic solution

Fantastic solution, works perfectly, easy to install and has proved extremely useful. Especially when away from boat to ensure shore power is on, the boat is dry and right temp. Strongly recommended, brilliant solution and several other boats on pontoon have also now installed VirCru.

I’ve been using Vircru for 6months now

I’ve been using Vircru for 6months now. It’s easy to install straight out of the box, and a sleek, easy to use interface on a mobile device. I’ve had a few technical glitches that have been promptly resolved by technical support. It was inexpensive for a vast array of sensors and has become invaluable to me as my boat is on a wet mooring. Would recommend.

Great support

Purchased my startup kit back in July22, just got around to setting up, ahead of this years season, had some problem with the sensors connecting to the hub, called Vircru to ask for assistance, Technical called back and explained that had it been unpacked and connected sooner it would have automatically done some firmware updates and been just fine, however as if left it a while the firmware was out of date, some things happened behind the scenes and they were able to remotely fix all my connections, they did state that of this was unsuccessful then they would dispatch me a new set, can’t criticise at all, fantastic customer service and technical support. Very happy with my purchase.

Great system and very easy to DIY install. Very useful to be able to monitor boat despite it being 3hrs from home. New developments look exciting and I’m looking forward to other sensors coming online in the future.
