Alex presented ResQVision’s work on identifying rip and longshore currents with fixed IP cameras at the World Conference on Drowning Prevention.
Research in the context of prevention.
The World Conference on Drowning Prevention ran from 21–23 November 2025 in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. Alex’s posts record his Sunday-morning presentation and conference participation.
The abstract book, page 265, lists work on using fixed Internet Protocol cameras to identify rip and longshore currents. It credits Alex Piatek, Bryan Pakulski, Julian Kovacek and Adam Wooler.
What a camera can help a team understand.
Observing visible water movement can provide context for the people assessing a coastal area. Camera position, view quality and changing sea conditions matter when evaluating what the footage can show.
The abstract records the work presented at that time. It does not establish a detection benchmark for every beach or demonstrate a reduction in drowning outcomes.
