Technology saves life with Poseidon pool surveillance system.
News from australianit.news.com.au
A YOUNG girl has been saved from drowning by an extraordinary computer system that keeps an eye on everyone in a swimming pool. The girl was pulled unconscious from 3.6m of water at the deep end of a public pool in Bangor, North Wales, when underwater cameras spotted that she was not moving and alerted a lifeguard. The lifeguard could not see the girl in the crowded pool but was able to respond to the alert in seconds. It is the first time in Britain that the Poseidon surveillance system, manufactured by a French company, has helped lifeguards save a swimmer from drowning.

Poseidon uses a network of small, digital cameras mounted in the pool walls and above the surface of the water and linked to a central processor unit to monitor the trajectories of swimmers in the pool and to analyze, in real time, their activity. The system can automatically identify suspicious situations, such as a person who is motionless underwater. In seconds, it alerts lifeguards via alarm pagers and at a supervision workstation to the exact location of the swimmer in danger.
