Who this is for
For safety and healthcare teams comparing camera-based fall awareness with wearable-based approaches.
The buyer question
When is CCTV fall detection a better fit than wearable-only fall detection?
Start with coverage and adoption
Wearables depend on people wearing, charging, and maintaining the device. CCTV depends on camera coverage and approval for the zone. The right answer depends on the workflow.
Use cameras for shared spaces
Camera-based person-down detection is strongest in approved public or operational areas where many people move through the same space and one device per person is not realistic.
Do not skip privacy review
Camera deployments require clear approval for zones, retention, access, and event routing. The benefit is faster awareness without requiring every person to carry a device.
How to use this with DHI
Use this page as a pre-pilot checklist. Pick one zone, one event type, one alert owner, and one review cadence. If the current cameras cannot support the workflow, fix the camera plan before expanding the deployment.
