Poseidon Configuration:

  • 4 global-view units, with 8 cameras
  • Video coverage of the pool: 100% of the pool
  • Computer-aided monitoring: deep-end pool zones

The installation of the Poseidon System was performed during the pool's scheduled renovation work. The Poseidon System has been operational since October 2000. A press conference was held at the time of commissioning and all the regional media (television, radio, as well as print media) were present.

Poseidon is watching over you:
Despite the vigilance of Lifeguards, there are 80 drowning accidents every year in public swimming pools. A revolutionary computerized tool -- baptized “Poseidon” -- can assist in avoiding dramatic accidents by sounding the alarm within less than fifteen seconds when a swimmer is in trouble. Montigny-les-Metz is the first pool in the region to be equipped with this unique system.
