Drowning detection for managed pools

Drowning Detection System for Swimming Pools

Aqutron Vision detects situations that may indicate a drowning emergency and sends a traceable alert to the people responsible for responding.

It works with camera-only or multi-sensor configurations using patented 3D technologies. Processing takes place locally, and the system is configured around the pool, its procedures and its alert chain.

Aqutron Vision is designed from the outset to comply with the applicable requirements of ISO 20380:2017 and ISO/FDIS 20288.

What the feasibility study verifies

  • Coverage and visibility in the agreed pool zones
  • Alert delivery, acknowledgement and escalation
  • False and missed alerts under defined test conditions
  • Local continuity, fallback and system-health monitoring
  • The time and information available to the designated responder

How Aqutron turns pool signals into an alert

A six-step flow that can use a camera-only or multi-sensor configuration, depending on the site.

  1. 01

    Transition

    The system observes a submersion or another change that requires closer evaluation.

  2. 02

    Overhead vision

    Calibrated cameras follow position and movement continuity within the monitored zone.

  3. 03

    Spatial information

    Patented 3D technologies add spatial information from vision and, where configured, additional sensors.

  4. 04

    Local evaluation

    On-site processing evaluates persistence, geometry and the available signals without a cloud round-trip.

  5. 05

    Traceable alert

    When the configured criteria are met, the system creates an event with location and available context.

  6. 06Alert sent

    Human response

    The designated person receives the alert and the information available for intervention.

One platform, two configuration paths

Camera-only when calibrated overhead vision is suitable.

Additional spatial sensors when the site benefits from greater redundancy.

The site study determines the configuration and the conditions to be tested.

A configuration designed around the pool

The feasibility study examines geometry, reflections, occlusions, operating hours, supervision and existing infrastructure before defining the configuration.

  • Camera-only where calibrated overhead vision provides a suitable basis
  • Multi-sensor configurations where additional spatial information is useful
  • Patented 3D technologies selected according to the site
  • Local processing without a cloud round-trip for the primary detection cycle
  • Alerts routed to the roles and authorized devices defined by the operator

Different operating models require different response plans

Public pools, hotels, sports centres, fitness clubs and wellness facilities differ in staffing, access and operating hours. Aqutron evaluates the complete path from detection to intervention for each setting.

Traceability and documented measures

An auditable record of the measures adopted

The site study, installed configuration, coverage assumptions, commissioning, drills, training, maintenance and traceable alerts provide an auditable record of the safety measures adopted by the operator.

This record can support audits and later reviews. It does not replace the operator’s legal duties or determine liability.
