Swimming pool drone could give parents second set of eyes on children at play
A new robot designed to give you an extra set of eyes on your swimming pool could help save children from drowning.
Lee Kambar is a father who says he was motivated to find a way to protect lives and give parents and first responders critical extra seconds to respond to possible emergencies.
The Morningstar system is a drone device that floats in the middle of your pool, KPHO reports.
Above the water’s surface, a camera with 360-degree rotation monitors movements around the pool. If someone approaches the water, a motion detector is triggered and you’ll get a notification. The camera can also recognize faces, Kambar says.
A second camera underwater will send sound and live video to your device the moment someone enters the pool.
“Say you miss that (first notification), then you get a second notification from the bottom camera showing you a live image inside the pool of your kid dealing with a crisis. From there you can push “emergency contact” and dispatch images and services to the address where Morningstar resides,” said Kambar.

Olympics – Tokyo 2020 Games venues hit by construction delays: organizers
Construction delays at two key Olympic venues could force Tokyo Games organizers into a reshuffle of test event schedules, the organizing committee said.
The Olympics Aquatics Center, which will host swimming and diving events as well as the Sea Forest Waterway, venue for the rowing and canoeing events in 2020, were two months behind schedule, according to organizers.
Both venues will be completed well before the Games’ opening ceremony on July 24, 2020, but organizers may have to shift test events to allow for the delays.
“We have been informed that the two venues have a delay compared to the original schedule,†said Tokyo 2020 spokesman Masa Takaya.
“We are working closely with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) and the respective federations to be able to sort out and possibly modify the test event schedule.
“Other than that, the schedules on the permanent venues are absolutely right on track.â€
