1. A method for promoting water safety comprising the steps of:
video monitoring an area including around a body of water, and above or at a top surface of the water;
detecting a presence of a human suspect in the monitored area through processing images of the video with computer implemented artificial intelligence;
storing an image upon detection of the human suspect in the monitored area;
processing the stored image to determine if the detection was a false alarm; and
if the human suspect is determined to be a human in the monitored area, then transmitting an alert, either to a device in the area being monitored, to a device inside a home, to a mobile device, or any combination of these;
wherein the processing of the stored image to determine if the detection was the false alarm includes processing the stored image including the human suspect to determine the false alarm by one or more of the following false alarm detection steps:
comparing the stored image including the human suspect and a second subsequent image of a same view to determine if a threshold level of pixels have changed;
scanning multiple areas of the stored image including the human suspect for a human suspect meeting a threshold pixel height, the threshold pixel height being different in each area; or
comparing the stored image including the human suspect and a second subsequent image of the same view, and determining if a threshold number of pixels in an area around coordinates corresponding to a detection event have changed,
if a false alarm is not detected, then transmitting an alert, either to a device in the area around the body of water, to a mobile device, or both.
