Worker Inactivity Detection
Detects workers who stay stationary or inactive beyond a defined threshold in areas where continuous activity is expected — an early signal someone may be injured, ill, or unresponsive. It distinguishes normal task-related pauses from abnormal inactivity and escalates from a check-in prompt to an urgent alert if there is no response, capturing an evidence image at the trigger. Thresholds are configurable per zone (shorter for high-risk areas), and it pairs with fall detection for complete lone-worker safety coverage. Runs on the edge, 24/7.

Prerequisites & Limitations
What Worker Inactivity Detection needs to run reliably, and the operating limits to plan for.
Prerequisites
- Camera: 2MP+ IP/RTSP covering the zone where continuous activity is expected
- Adequate illumination — pair with an IR illuminator for low-light areas
- Stable bandwidth between camera and edge/server — roughly 4–8 Mbps per 2MP H.264/H.265 stream
- Mounting so workers are clearly visible to track activity and inactivity
- Stable power and network at the deployment point
Operating Limits
Indicative figures — actual limits depend on hardware, scene, and configuration.
