Capabilities - Fall Detection
Fall Detection spots the fast change from upright to the ground that marks a fall. It is designed to flag falls in elderly care, assisted living and industrial sites. It needs no device on the person and works for anyone in the camera's view: visitors, staff and residents alike.

How it works - Fall Detection in three steps
How Fall Detection works with the cameras you already run.
- Connect Room and Hallway Cameras. Use your cameras in common areas, hallways and high-risk zones. Privacy mode shows people as simple figures where video is not appropriate.
- Falls Told Apart from Normal Movement. The system follows each person's posture and recognizes the fast drop from upright to the ground that marks a fall, while ignoring sitting or crouching.
- Flag Falls for Caregivers. When a fall is detected, it is flagged for caregivers to review, with the camera location, the time and a snapshot or simple-figure image.
Features
What Fall Detection can do.
- Rapid Fall Detection. Recognizes falls and tells sudden collapses apart from slow changes in position.
- Activity Discrimination. Tells falls apart from normal activity such as sitting down, bending to pick something up, lying on furniture or exercising on the floor. This is designed to cut the false alarms that erode trust.
- Privacy Mode. Shows people as anonymous simple figures and keeps no images. Flags show the figure instead of a photo.
- Post-Fall Immobility Monitoring. After detecting a fall, the system monitors whether the person regains mobility. A person who stays down is flagged with a higher severity.
- Multi-Person Tracking. Tracks multiple individuals simultaneously within a single camera view, detecting falls for any person.
- Historical Fall Analytics. Logs all detected falls with location, time, and context. Facility managers can identify high-risk areas, peak fall times, and recurring patterns to guide preventive interventions.
Use cases
Applications of Fall Detection across industries.
Assisted Living Facilities
Falls are the leading cause of injury in assisted living environments, and residents may be alone when they occur. Camera-based detection can flag falls for on-duty staff.
- Healthcare
- Senior Living
Hospital Patient Monitoring
Hospital patients, especially those recovering from surgery or on sedating medicines, are at higher fall risk. Room cameras in privacy mode can flag falls for nursing staff while protecting patient privacy.
- Healthcare
Home Care for Aging in Place
Older adults living independently face fall risk without on-site staff. Cameras already in key rooms can flag falls for a monitoring service to check.
- Healthcare
- Senior Living
Industrial Workplace Safety
Workers on elevated platforms, ladders, and scaffolding face fall hazards. Camera-based detection works whether or not the worker wears a fall-arrest system, and covers visitors and contractors as well.
- Manufacturing
- Construction
- Energy
Retail Slip-and-Fall Monitoring
Retail stores face liability from customer falls on wet floors or cluttered aisles. Detection can keep a timestamped record of each detected fall for risk management.
- Retail
- Hospitality
Public Transit Station Safety
Falls on escalators, platforms, and stairways at transit stations require rapid response. Automated detection can flag falls for station staff to check.
- Transportation
- Smart City
