Keeping your pool safe and secure with AI!

Video analytics is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze video feed data. The system uses algorithms and machine learning to identify objects and track them over time. Video analytics are used in a variety of industries, but here we’re going to focus on how they can be used in the context of pool safety and security.

AI-powered video analytics work with video surveillance.

Video surveillance is the collection of video data and its use for surveillance purposes. Video surveillance can be used to monitor public areas, private property, resources and industrial processes such as factories or oil refineries. It also plays an important role in traffic control and can be used to investigate crimes.

AI-powered video analytics relies on machine learning algorithms that analyze video footage for specific activities such as theft or damage to property, security breaches or suspicious behavior among employees or customers entering an area where access control is restricted (think: bank vaults).

They can identify who is in the frame/area of the camera.

Artificial intelligence is making it possible for pools to be more secure and safe than ever before. AI can recognize people, kids and pets in and around the pool. It can identify who is in the frame/area of the camera. It has an algorithm that detects motion, so it knows if someone is moving or jumping into your pool area. Using cameras and it can alert you via an app if someone is detected jumping in or falling into the water. It can also detect people, kids, and pets around the pool so that you know if they are approaching from all sides of your property.

This technology has many benefits to you as a homeowner:

• You can get alerts on your phone if anyone falls into your pool
• You know that a child hasn’t wandered outside alone since they won’t be able to go far without being detected by this technology

PoolScout – The Future of Pool Safety.

In an emergency, every second counts. Every added layer of protection is crucial. The PoolScout System detects and sends alerts in real-time, giving you more time to respond when it really matters. Using vision-based analytics and cutting-edge artificial intelligence, the PoolScout Service detects and distinguishes toddlers (up to four years-old) from other people, pets and objects in and around the pool. It constantly improves, learning from previous detections and new use cases. If an event is reported as a false alert, the AI instantly learns from this to improve future detections. When an unsafe scenario is detected, the PoolScout System sends a message to your phone and activates the alarm so that you and your designated emergency contacts are alerted immediately. This helps you to prevent an accident or get in touch with emergency services before a tragedy occurs. The PoolScout app also shows your camera’s LiveStream in real time, giving you constant reassurance that the system is active and working, keeping your pool safe. The PoolScout Service automatically identifies specific unsafe scenarios and raises only relevant alerts to enhance pool safety. For example, PoolScout will determine if a toddler is unattended if detected in the pool area with no adult in sight. All of these unique capabilities are designed for pool owners to provide maximum peace of mind every single day.
