The SwimEye™ was first launched in 2005, but in 2015, Davo decided to shift to another camera manufacturer – and the choice fell on MOBOTIX. It was quite a coincidence that led the two companies together; one day Eirik Nielsen, the sales engineer at partner Last Mile Communications (LMSC) in Norway – a company specialized in providing high-quality IP surveillance camera systems and a respected MOBOTIX partner – came across the SwimEye™. The system instantly caught his interest, and he contacted the team behind SwimEye™ – and shortly thereafter, they met.

For a drowning detection system, reliable and well-functioning cameras are crucial: “The cameras should help the lifeguards, and if the cameras are not working properly, they may instead cause frustration. Lifeguards must be able to trust the system, and to do so, you need a stable system withoutSwimEye™ stands out,” says Tor Petter Johansen and continues: “The old story of the boy that cried wolf really applies here, because if lifeguards keep experiencing false alarms, they might not react when something really happens. With MOBOTIX, we have been able to reduce the number of false alarms significantly and stabilize the system to a very high level.”
