The Poseidon technology

Optimized for any kind of pool

Poseidon’s cameras may be mounted under water on the walls of the pool for deep water, or overhead to monitor shallower areas to provide a complete and overlapping view.
All cameras operate simultaneously to accurately differentiate situations inside the pool. The system triggers an alarm if a person is motionless at the pool bottom for 10 seconds.
Poseidon is the only system that can combine overhead and underwater technologies.

Dual Overhead Cameras

Shallow pools are monitored from above with dual overhead cameras to give a clear overview of the pool. All surfaces in the pool are monitored by at least two cameras that operate simultaneously. The unique technology allows the system to distinguish a person who is fully or partially under water.

By monitoring the pool from above, the system is not affected by high attendance in the pool or by a movable floor.
If a movable floor is used the system automatically detects the depth of the pool and adjusts to the new conditions.
The unique technology also allows the system to easily adapt to varying light conditions in the pool.

HELICOPTER VIEW
The overhead cameras provide a clear overview of the pool.
UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY
Differentiates a swimmer who is fully or partially under water.
AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT
Automatically adjusts to new conditions in the pool.
ANALYSIS IN REAL TIME
Analyzes the movement in the pool in real time.

Underwater cameras

Deep pools are monitored by multiple cameras placed on the pool wall. The specially designed camera housing contains two cameras that provide a combined field of vision of 180 degrees. Through patented technologies, the system analyses structure and volume from a real-time 3D perspective.

With its network of cameras analyzing activity in a pool, the system can distinguish a person from a shadow or light reflection. The system also alerts the lifeguards in real time if poor visibility or strong sunlight is interfering with the system’s performance.

180 DEGREE ANGLE OF VIEW
Specially designed camera housing provides 180 degree angle of view perspective.
STRUCTURE
Patented technology that analyzes the pool structure in real time.
VOLUME
Patented technology that analyzes the pool volume in real time.
ANALYSES IN REAL TIME
Analyzes all movement in the pool in real time.

The alarm process

When Poseidon has detected a person that has been motionless at the bottom of a pool for 10 seconds, an alarm is triggered via a siren with audio and light signal. The alarm information including the swimmer’s position and time since the system detected the person at the bottom of the pool is shown on a display on the wall as well as in the system interface along with images from the event.

Detection and fast response time are the most important factors when a drowning incident occurs to save lives and avoid permanent damage.
Poseidon’s detailed information and alarm allows lifeguards to respond quickly to an incident and begin life-saving.

POSEIDON + LIFEGUARDS = the best surveillance team for your pool

What is required to install?

Step 1

To design a proposal we need a plan and section drawings of the pool.

Step 2

Our engineers make a preliminary design of the system including equipment placement and a price proposal.

Step 3

When deciding to install Poseidon, we perform a complete technical feasibility study.

Step 4

We ship all hardware to the installation site.

Step 5

On-site installation is completed according to Poseidon's technical study.

Step 6

Upon completion, the system is calibrated and tested by Poseidon.
