Poseidon Watch
Mitigate aquatic liability. Protect your guests.
Even trained teams face glare, blind spots, and fatigue. Poseidon Watch connects to the IP cameras you already own and adds an always-on AI-assisted backup layer that flags possible submersions, unsupervised children, and after-hours perimeter breaches.
- ClearWater glare reduction
- Existing cameras
- Cloud alerts in seconds
- 500k+ hours monitored
- After-hours perimeter watch
- Multi-site oversight
- Audit-ready event records
Live in days, not months. No new hardware.
Poseidon Watch is cloud SaaS. It connects over IP to the cameras already watching your pool — nothing to install on deck, no cabling, no capital hardware spend.
Connect your existing cameras
Secure link to the IP cameras, NVR, or VMS you already operate. No new lenses, mounts, or installers on deck.
Cloud AI watches every frame
Streams are analysed in real time — glare reduced, swimmers tracked, risk patterns scored. Video is not retained; telemetry powers the alerts.
Your team gets instant alerts
Possible submersions, unsupervised children, and after-hours breaches reach lifeguards and managers in seconds — on desktop or mobile.
Manual monitoring alone has hard limits
Pool leaders face recruitment pressure, incident liability, and the physical limits of the human eye — especially under glare and at peak load.
The recruitment gap
Full certified-guard rotas are hard to sustain, raising operational stress and exposure.
Specular glare
Sun and overhead light turn water into a mirror, hiding submerged bodies from deck and camera views.
Quiet distress
True distress is often quiet and rapid — easy to miss in a busy pool.
Without assistance
- ✕Distraction, fatigue, or rotation gaps go unchecked.
- ✕No active detection under surface glare or deck blind spots.
- ✕After-hours pool access can go unseen.
- ✕Limited digital trail of events and response timing.
With Poseidon Watch
- ✓A continuous digital backup for on-duty teams.
- ✓ClearWater glare reduction to keep submerged swimmers visible to the system.
- ✓Immediate notifications for restricted-zone and after-hours breaches.
- ✓Timestamped alert and acknowledgement records for operational review.
Glare has always been the blind spot. We reduce it in software.
Poseidon Watch computationally reduces surface reflections and shimmer on every frame — so the detection layer can keep working when unaided eyes see mostly white light on water. No special lenses or camera upgrades; it runs in our cloud pipeline on the feeds you already have.
The most complete detection layer on cameras you already own.
Overhead-camera detection — no underwater hardware, no custom install, no pool closure. Poseidon Watch is the only platform that covers every capability in this table.

Comparison of overhead-camera detection capabilities based on publicly available product documentation as of July 2026. Poseidon (Maytronics) and AngelEye / SwimEye additionally offer underwater-camera detection, which requires dedicated in-pool hardware and a custom install. Poseidon Watch is designed as a software layer on the CCTV you already own.

Designed with US & UK frameworks in mind
Poseidon Watch is configured to support operators working toward recognised aquatic safety and privacy expectations — it assists teams; it does not replace licensed supervision or legal advice.
United States
Informed by ASTM F3698-24 computer-vision drowning detection guidance and ISO 20380 public facility frameworks — with alert latency designed to support rapid human response.
United Kingdom
Aligned with RLSS UK technology guidance and HSG179 visibility principles — including support for glare and blind-spot challenges in lifeguard zone reviews.
Feeds are encrypted in transit. Poseidon Watch uses a telemetry-first pipeline — processing for alerts without retaining a video archive — to support GDPR and comparable privacy expectations.
