Keeping it, and reaching it
The camera holds around two months of history on its own, configurable to the vessel. These parts take it further: more history, a second copy, several people watching at once, and reach from ashore. Any of them can be added later.
The hub the rest of the software plugs into
A virtual machine on the vessel’s own server that takes the panorama further: history beyond the camera’s own window, a second copy of the recordings, and several live viewers at once. The camera is complete without it — this is the step you take when the vessel wants to keep more, protect more, or let more people watch.
History that reaches further back
The camera keeps around two months on board on its own, depending on how retention is set — and retention is configurable, so the window follows what the vessel wants to keep. The server software carries that history further, on storage the owner already has.
A second copy, and more people watching
Recordings are backed up off the masthead unit, and several live viewers can be open at once — bridge, owner’s deck, engineering — each looking wherever they choose in the same panorama.
What the rest of the family needs
The cloud service runs alongside it, and the dual install system relies on it. Once a vessel is thinking about reach from shore or a two-unit installation, this is the piece that makes those possible.
Rung by rung, from the masthead to the shore
Each rung adds reach to the one below it, and each one is a separate part of the system. A vessel can stand on whichever rung suits it and step up later — nothing is lost by starting at the bottom.

The camera itself
Storage, the web viewer and capture live on the masthead unit. Around two months of history on board, depending on retention settings — configurable to the vessel. This is a complete, working system on its own.

On-board server software
History beyond the camera’s own window, a backup copy of the recordings, and several live viewers at once, on the vessel’s own server.

Rung 03
Cloud recordings
Selected recordings held ashore and reachable from anywhere, so the owner and the management team are not tied to being aboard. Runs alongside the on-board server software, with a first block of storage included.

Rung 04
Extra cloud storage
As much room ashore as the vessel wants, added in blocks and adjustable season by season — a busy charter summer and a quiet winter need not be held to the same size.
Any rung can be added later. A vessel that starts with the camera alone has a complete, working system from day one, and can step up whenever the owner wants more history or more reach.
The ship’s own data, in the picture
Panoblu is happiest as part of the vessel rather than a box beside it. These two items are how the panorama and the yacht’s information systems meet.
Where an owner wants the panorama inside the systems the crew already watches, that is development work rather than a product — scoped with your integrator and quoted as days. It pairs naturally with the navigation data module.
Added when the vessel is ready for it
The software family is the part of Panoblu with no deadline attached. It is worth knowing what each step gives you, and what it does not need to be decided alongside.
The camera records from the day it is commissioned. Adding the server software later extends what is kept from that point on — it is a step forward, never a repair.
The software is a virtual machine, so it sits on infrastructure the vessel already has and is looked after the way the rest of that infrastructure is.
More history and more viewers mean more people can look, and look back. The imagery is there to be interpreted by the crew — nothing is judged on anyone’s behalf.

What this needs alongside it — the mounting kit, the installation days, the software — depends on your mast and your vessel. A Panoblu partner surveys it and quotes the components it actually needs. Tell us where you are, and we will introduce you to the right one.
