  • Video coverage of the pool: 100% of the pool

The Poseidon System became operational at the Nauticaa Aquatic Park in February 2000. The global-view cameras were installed during scheduled renovation work being performed at the pool. With 1 million visitors each year, Nauticaa is the most highly frequented aquatic park in France and swimmer safety heads its list of preoccupations. A highly-publicized inauguration ceremony covered by all the media was held when the system was launched.

The highly visible Poseidon System.
The visitors investigated the various installations. Their attention was particularly held by the demonstration of Poseidon's effectiveness: it is a system designed to prevent drowning accidents in swimming pools. (.) The system functions quite simply - when an inert body comes to rest at the bottom of the pool, an alarm is triggered within 10 seconds.
