Water safety device, system, and method

A system for promoting water safety comprising:

• a camera device configured to capture images in a monitored area around or above a body of water, the camera device configured for mounting to a structure outside the water;
• a computing device configured to process the captured images by cyclically scanning multiple portions of the captured images by formatting the images into portions, and to apply artificial intelligence for human recognition to the processed captured images;
• a mobile device configured to receive a notification if a human is detected in the captured images;
• and
• an extender in wireless communication with the camera device that extends a wireless network to the camera device;
• wherein the multiple portions include:
• front left, front right, back left, back right, and back center;
• wherein the multiple portions are scanned in the following scanning order:
• cycle 1, front left or front right, front right or front left, back left or back right, back right or back left;
• and then
• cycle 2, front left or front right, front right or front left, back center;
• wherein if front left or back left is scanned, then front right or back right is scanned in the same cycle;
• and
• the scanning order is then repeated at least until a human suspect is detected.

A system comprising:

• a camera device housing including a camera and a computing device;
• an antenna housing including a Wi-Fi antenna and a Zigbee antenna, the antenna housing being outside the camera device housing;
• and
• a power cord running from the camera device through the antenna housing;
• wherein the camera is configured to capture images including a vicinity of a body of water, and above or at a top surface of the body of water;
• and the system is configured to cyclically scan multiple portions of the images by formatting the images into portions, optionally shrink the portions of the images to a smaller resolution, and process the images with artificial intelligence to detect a human presence;
• and
• sound an alarm if the human presence is detected, send a notification to a mobile device, or both;
• the computing device configured to cyclically scan multiple portions of the images by formatting the images into portions,
• wherein the multiple portions include:
• front left, front right, back left, back right, and back center;
• wherein the multiple portions are scanned in the following scanning order:
• cycle 1, front left or front right, front right or front left, back left or back right, back right or back left;
• and then cycle 2, front left or front right, front right or front left, back center;
• wherein if front left or back left is scanned, then front right or back right is scanned in the same cycle;
• and
• the scanning order is then repeated at least until a human suspect is detected.
