How do I pair the Camera?

Every PoolScout comes with a sticker containing a QR code, MAC address or both.

When prompted by the app, scan the camera's QR code. If you don't see a QR code, manually type in the camera's MAC address.

Your app will then attempt to pair to your Camera.

What is an emergency contact?

If you limit a user to just getting notifications but not being able to view your Live Stream, that is what we call an emergency contact.

How is it different to other pool safety products?

PoolScout is the only pool monitoring system that can distinguish between toddlers, people and pets in realtime. It automatically recognises unsafe scenarios, allowing for priceless time to react.

How do I pair the Camera Alarm?

Every PoolScout Camera comes with an Alarm unit.

When prompted by the app, you can choose to enable the Alarm so you can be alerted when unsafe events happen in and around your pool.

Do I have to install the Camera Alarm?

Using the PoolScout Alarm is not required, as you will still get the phone alerts. But we strongly recommend the Alarm as an additional safety feature.

Please note that you can turn off the Alarm from the app, so even if you don't want to use the alarm for now it is still a good idea to install it and turn it off from the app.

What type of events trigger alerts?

PoolScout provides the following alerts (that activate the Camera Alarm unit):

Unattended Toddler - If a toddler (4 years old or younger) is identified in or around the pool without adult supervision
Person Underwater - If a person inside the pool is submerged for more than 10 seconds
Person Detected (Security Mode) - If Security Mode is active and a person is detected

How does PoolScout respond in an unsafe scenario?

When PoolScout identifies an unsafe scenario, an alert is sent to the users' phone(s) and the PoolScout Alarm unit is also activated.

Training & improving the AI

PoolScout constantly learns from previous detections. Marking an event as a "False Alarm" allows PoolScout to improve faster.

Why do you ask for my pool location?

Some PoolScout features are dependant on the time of day, weather and other variables specific to your location. PoolScout asks for your location in order to correctly configure these features for you.

The Alarm doesn’t sound when I receive a safety alert

Try checking the physical connection. To do it, you’ll have to remove the Alarm from the wall and check the connection on the back.

What happens during a power or internet failure?

Anytime your camera is disconnected, PoolScout will automatically send a notification to your mobile device that the system is offline. You will also receive a notification once you are back online.
