Radar Convenience in the Palm of Your Hand
The DRS4W is designed for simplicity. It features an integrated Wi-Fi module that allows two separate iPad or iPhone users to view and control the radar simultaneously. With its Guard Zone feature, you can set a safety perimeter and receive an alert on your mobile device if a target enters the area. Its low power consumption and easy installation make it the most accessible radar for casual cruisers and sailors looking for an extra layer of safety during night passages or fog.
