If you have an aircraft, you are well aware of the importance of keeping it safe at all times. Not only must you safeguard your aircraft, but also your equipment and fuel, which may be a significant draw for thieves.

Securing your aircraft isn't as simple as it sounds, and to prevent any similar scenario from occurring, you'll need to be aware of some common security mistakes aircraft hangar owners make.

Cold Weather Flying: A comprehensive checklist to keeping your airplane at its best during the winter. Learn how to prepare for fun winter flying.

Just because the air has turned cold, and winter is imminent doesn’t mean you need to hang up the keys to your airplane until spring. With a bit of forethought and planning, you can keep flying into the cold weather months.

HangarBot celebrated its 5th year anniversary at Oshkosh EAA AirVenture 2021 by holding a scavenger hunt and giving away incredible prizes such as customized HangarBot Anniversary shirts & bags, Gift Cards, and more.

To kick off our month-long HangarBot Women in Aviation series, The HangarBot Team sat down with Denise Bryan, a Fairfield County Airport Director based in South Carolina, to learn about her aviation story. 

Welcome to the 2nd bi-monthly blog post in our series focused on HangarBot™ aviation products for your Smart Hangar! In this series, the team at Lynk Remote Technologies is answering the questions most frequently asked by pilots and others about our HangarBot products.

In this post, we're highlighting the LynkGuard Security Camera™, which is also one of the most asked-about and valuable HangarBot products!

What will the LynkGuard Security Camera do for me?
The LynkGuard Security Camera offers security, safety, and peace of mind! With the LynkGuard Security Camera, you can:

• Remotely and conveniently monitor what’s happening at your hangar from wherever you are 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
• See live, real-time views from your LynkGuard Security Camera on your smartphone using the HangarBot Mobile App.
• View and capture still camera shots.
• Get alerts on your smartphone if your camera detects motion.
• See the inside or outside of your hangar even in darkness with built-in infrared vision.

Do I need more than one camera?
While one camera is better than none, there are plenty of advantages to having more than one camera. With 2 or more cameras, you can see both the inside and outside of your hangar. Our cameras withstand the elements since all LynkGuard Security Cameras are water resistant and designed for outdoor use. And additional cameras can provide an up to 360° view of both the inside and outside of your hangar!

Are there any advantages to these cameras beside security?
Yes! LynkGuard Security Cameras can also be used to increase the safety of hangar door operation, providing better, real-time visibility of view angles that are otherwise hard to see.

Are they easy to install?
They are! Integrated into each LynkGuard Security Camera are magnetic mounts, which make it extremely easy and quick to attach the camera to virtually any interior or exterior wall of your hangar. And in addition to the easy-to-follow installation guide that comes with each camera, we have a stellar customer support team that’s ready to help if and when you need it! You can email them at support@hangarbot.com or call them at 727-900-6911.

What else do I need to operate my cameras?
The three things you'll need in order to make full use of your LynkGuard Security Cameras are a HangarBot 4G Hub™, a HangarBot service plan, and the HangarBot Mobile App™. It's the HangarBot Hub that brings cellular connectivity to your hangar. And that's what enables you to access the views from your cameras using your smartphone wherever you are!

The HangarBot Mobile App helps transform your smartphone into a key part of your remote hangar surveillance system. Simply download and install the HangarBot Mobile App from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store onto your smartphone (Android or iOS-based).

How do I get my cameras?
Ordering LynkGuard Security Cameras or any of our other products is easy through our website: www.HangarBot.com.

Will you be doing other blog posts like this on other products?
We will! Our next product-focused blog post, which will be in July, will focus on the HangarBot 4G Hub. Meanwhile, keep an eye on the HangarBot Blog. We'll be posting on other topics as well! We're happy to help keep you posted on new blog posts, product discounts, news, and more if you share your email address with us!

Thanks very much for reading this post and visiting our site! We hope to see you again!

It was so great to finally get back to trade shows and events this month! We were at SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo in Lakeland, Florida from April 13 – 18, which had over 200,000 attendees. We really enjoyed reconnecting with existing customers and partners and meeting new ones! There we raffled off 5 of our HangarBot 4G Camera Hubs! (The lucky winners have already been notified.) And we demonstrated our HangarBot Smart Hangar System, including the HangarBot 4G Hub, HangarBot Door Controller, LynkGuard Security Camera,  HangarBot Thermostat, and HangarBot Outlet.

To give you an idea of what it was like, here’s a video of our Founder and CEO, Morgan Walker, doing a brief walkthrough of the demo:

Welcome to this, the first in a series of monthly blog posts focused on HangarBot™ IoT aviation products for your Smart Hangar and your plane! In these monthly posts, the team here at Lynk Remote Technologies™ will answer the questions most frequently asked by pilots and others about our HangarBot products.

This month, we're highlighting the HangarBot Door Controller™, one of the most popular and life-changing HangarBot products!

Without its employees, a company wouldn't amount to much. We couldn't be more thankful for all the hard work our team produces at the end of everyday.

In order to highlight all their achievements, we have decided to start a series showcasing a different team member every time!

Kicking off the series, we have Harjeevan Tanda, our head of Mobile and Web Development. 

In this day and age, hundreds of aviation apps are available for smartphones and tablets, from in-flight tools to flight training, weather briefings, and even games. Whether you want to transition to a paperless cockpit or plan your flights with better accuracy, here are six aviation apps to add to your digital toolbox.

Today, we take the time to appreciate the individual/s who have helped to keep our heads up, who have become our mentors, and who have helped keep our spirits alive during an especially difficult workday: Happy National Boss’ Day!

We interviewed our favorite boss, Morgan Walker, to celebrate this day and learn more about Lynk Remote Technologies.
