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

Factor Edge Server
Incident / event capture rate≤ ~5 events per second≤ ~20 events per second
Concurrent camera streams per node1–4 streams (Jetson TX2 / Orin)8–16+ streams
Minimum person size in frame≥ ~40 px height≥ ~40 px height
Event-to-alert latency< ~1 s on-deviceDepends on network round-trip

Indicative figures — actual limits depend on hardware, scene, and configuration.
