My point is that the person monitoring cctv would have way more to do tha monitor the TV and push the buzzer. I think if we could come up with something similar to the starters shacks at golf courses, where a person of authority remained at the pool to check those coming had their ID on them to get in or report any problems with folks who want to enter but "forgot my ID". NO ID, NO ENTRY! NO "BUTS!. Low wage, part timer monitors. What do you say?
It's a possible solution, but now you're probably talking 250+ employees. Which at $10/hour will cost about $5 million. I think any solution that consolidates the large number of pools into a system in which multiple pools can be monitored by 1 individual would be more cost effective.
