What the recording shows.

At Kiama North, the view moves from the wider shoreline into a close-up of the seal flipper that triggered the person detector.

Video description

Times are approximate.

  1. 0:00–0:03. A wide view of the shoreline and the surf. A small red box marks a small dark shape in the water, with no label visible.
  2. About 0:03. The view moves closer. The box now shows a confidence value of 0.33 around a thin dark shape that breaks the surface.
  3. About 0:04–0:05.6. The box stays on the same shape and the confidence value reads 0.51. The shape is a seal flipper, not a swimmer.

Let’s talk.
