Security Cover Systems

A boat cover including a security system, the boat cover comprising:

• a fabric portion surrounded by a perimeter section, wherein:
• the fabric portion is sized to be selectively extended across a gunwale of a boat to enclose or substantially enclose a portion of a cockpit of the boat;
• the perimeter section is located along an edge of the fabric portion;
• and
• the fabric portion is comprised of an inner layer of material that at least partially faces the boat when the fabric portion is extended across the gunwale and an outer layer of material that is subject to an environmental condition when the fabric portion is extended across the gunwale;
• a cut sensor integrated into a first section of the fabric portion, the cut sensor including a mesh integrated between the outer layer and the inner layer, wherein the cut sensor is configurable in an armed state in which a first signal is communicated through the mesh and disruption to the mesh interrupts communication of the signal;
• an attachment feature that is configured to selectively secure the flexible portion relative to the boat;
• a secondary sensor associated with the attachment feature, the secondary sensor being configurable in the armed state in which an additional signal is communicated through an element of the attachment feature such that disengagement of the attachment feature interrupts the additional signal;
• and
• a hub in operable communication with the cut sensor and the secondary sensor, wherein the hub includes:
• a monitor that identifies an interruption to the first signal and interruption of the additional signal, and
• an alarm that is triggered responsive to identification of the interruption of the first signal or the interruption of the additional signal.
