I got a text at 2:00 in the morning last night from my camera onboard that there was motion on the boat. I looked at the recorded video and saw the lights were on and I could hear some kind of motor noise but no person. There were no other videos
I am too far from the boat to drive down so I waited for the marina to open and sent the mechanics down to check it out. When they arrived all the cockpit lights were on, Nav lights, windshield wipers and the blower were all on. I keep a sheet over the dash... when the mechanics removed it they noticed the 4 electronic monitor dust covers were off.
The video you see is the two mechanics going on board.(you can hear the wiper motors, that was the motor noise)..the later video is the 2:00 in the morning text. So the camera was working but it didn't capture anyone in the boat, it's not clear to me why it recorded and sent the text because there is no movement. There is no way to get to the camera from behind to unplug it.
I thought maybe an animal got in there and walked over the switches but it would not have been able to get all 4 covers off and put the sheet back...and the only way to get in is to slip over the aft door in between the canvas...but the camera would have caught that.
The marina camera that points right at my boat I come to find out can't see at night (don't understand that one) and there were no other reports last night.
I can't get down to the boat until tomorrow night ...maybe I will notice something out of place that the mechanics wouldn't see...but right now it's a mystery
