Riverbanks and reservoirs are kilometres long and cannot be patrolled continuously.

Pain points
The challenge
Sound familiar? These are the problems our customers bring to us every week.
Most drowning incidents involve a short window that a guard would never reach.
Safe-swimming education alone does not prevent trespass and accidents.
Solution overview
How this solution works
Guard rivers, reservoirs, canals and pools with AI that reacts when a person enters danger.
Every XCAN AI Box runs its algorithms on the edge, which means detection continues even when the network does not. Existing cameras are reused, alerts are verified with snapshots and clips, and all events land in one management console.
How it works
Deployment in four steps
From the cameras you already own to a fully monitored site - typically inside one week.
Watch the water edge
Riverbank and water-edge intrusion detection with instant alarms.
Detect distress
Anti-drowning detection analyses swimmer behaviour and stillness.
Warn on site
Linked loudspeakers and warning lights alert people and nearby staff.
Coordinate rescue
Alert lifeguards, police or rescue teams with exact camera position.
Algorithm library
AI algorithms used in this solution
Each algorithm can be enabled per channel, per schedule, with its own sensitivity and alarm rule.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can it tell the difference between a swimmer and someone drowning?
The algorithm analyses posture, movement and time-in-place. Prolonged stillness or distressed motion triggers a distinct alarm, separate from ordinary swimming.
What happens at night?
With IR or thermal cameras the water-edge detection continues to work, and thermal imaging is especially effective for detecting people in water at night.
