Fall & Emergency Detection
Detect a fallen or motionless worker within seconds.
For a lone worker, what matters is not the accident but how long it takes to be noticed. A fall found after eight minutes and one found in forty seconds are not the same event.
The system evaluates the sudden downward motion together with the stillness that follows; sitting, bending and crouching are separated out to reduce false alarms. A confirmed event is delivered to security and EHS simultaneously, with footage attached.
How it works
Rapid loss of height
A fast drop of the body centre and transition to a horizontal pose are detected.
Stillness window
If there is no movement for the configured period, the event escalates to “urgent”.
Chained notification
If the shift supervisor does not respond, the alert is automatically escalated to the next level.
Response time is the single variable that changes the outcome
In emergency management the most concrete improvable metric is response time. Once time-to-first-response is measured, most sites discover that the bulk of lost time sits in the “noticing” phase — exactly the gap a camera closes.
| Camera detection | 4 s |
| Alert delivery | 9 s |
| Supervisor sees it | 38 s |
| Arrival on site | 96 s |
In the conventional scenario the first three steps are pure lost time: the event is noticed only when someone walks by. Average time-to-notice on site has been measured at 4 to 11 minutes.

False positives are eliminated one by one during the pilot; as sitting and crouching patterns are learned, alarm counts converge on real events.
Use cases
Lone working
Tracking staff working alone on night shift.
High-rack aisle
Coverage in aisles outside the line of sight.
Confined space
Stillness alerts where fainting is a risk.
Stairwell
High fall-risk transition points.

Frequently asked questions
How does Fall & Emergency Detection work?
For a lone worker, what matters is not the accident but how long it takes to be noticed. A fall found after eight minutes and one found in forty seconds are not the same event.
Are our existing cameras suitable for this solution?
Required camera specification: Wide angle with the floor in view; steep ceiling angles not recommended. Before installation we assess your camera inventory free of charge and report which points are suitable and, if needed, which camera should be added.
What results and indicators does it provide?
Key indicators: Fall detection time: <5 s; Stillness confirmation: 30 s; Lone-working coverage: 24/7. In the conventional scenario the first three steps are pure lost time: the event is noticed only when someone walks by. Average time-to-notice on site has been measured at 4 to 11 minutes. Thresholds are calibrated on your own site during the pilot.
Is it compliant with KVKK, Türkiye's data-protection law?
Footage is processed on an edge server inside your facility; raw video is not sent to the cloud. Facial recognition is not used; analytics outputs are anonymous and event clips are deleted automatically when the defined retention period ends.
