Abstract
A monitoring device for monitoring a risk of drowning for users of one or more alarm devices is provided. The alarm devices include one or more detectors configured to detect status data of the user, and the alarm device transmits a signal from at or below a water surface. A monitoring station has a controller circuit configured to receive status data from the alarm device, to detect a triggering event, and, in response to the triggering event, to select one of a plurality of alarm protocols based on the status data. The monitoring station is configured to provide a user alert to the alarm device if a loss in signal strength of the alarm device is detected by the monitoring station, and the alarm device is configured to receive a deactivation input such that if a deactivation input is received within a predetermined time, the alarm protocol is canceled and/or an alarm protocol is not issued to the monitoring station.
