Abstract

A pool/pond alarm system comprising a microwave motion sensor 1 which actuates a siren 8 to alert the owner should any unattended children venture too close to a swimming pool or garden pond 5. The microwave sensor is preferably mounted on an adjustable tripod 2 and may be positioned either in the middle of the pool or at the poolside. Several such motion sensors may be used depending on the size and shape of the pool or pond to be protected. When actuated by the motion sensor, the device sounds a siren for a period of three seconds. If the child moves away from the pool then the siren will not sound again. The device is also effective at scaring off cats or birds. The device preferably uses a low voltage power pack 9 and may include a further siren 11 located inside the owners house.
