CAM-507
Someone on the lobby floor who isn’t getting up
Mid-afternoon in the lobby. On the floor, between the sofas and the bar, someone is lying down and not getting up. Beside them a glass is overturned, the drink spilled and some broken pieces on the marble. A member of staff has kneeled down to help and another is on the phone two steps away. From the sofa, a guest watches. At the bar, the customers carry on and the barman keeps serving. IRIS does not know who that person is or what has happened to them: it sees a body on the floor that has not moved for almost a minute, and it raises the alert.

The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
a person has been lying on the floor of a public area for more than fifteen seconds
Then
- alerts the front desk and the security post at the same time, with the camera and the exact spot
- opens the video at the instant the person went down, so whoever arrives knows what happened before
- keeps the alert open until a person closes it by hand
The instruction that set it up«Tell me when somebody has been on the floor for more than fifteen seconds in any public area.»
What changes
What changes for the manager and the front desk
Mid-afternoon in the lobby. The person has been on the floor between the sofas and the bar for almost a minute; the barman is still serving ten feet away, back turned, and hasn’t seen them. The only thing that can be improved from here’s time: the seconds between someone going down and the first help arriving. In a busy lobby, a person on the floor is spotted late or by chance, because a sofa, a plant or somebody’s back is in the way. With the alert, whoever has to go knows where to go, and arrives with the video already open. And the limit is the usual one: IRIS sees what’s inside the frame. If someone falls behind a sofa, it doesn’t see them, which is why the framing is chosen with the floor manager, not from an office.
What people usually ask
Does IRIS know what has happened to that person?
No, and it doesn’t say. It does not diagnose, it does not identify and it does not decide. It sees that somebody is on the floor and hasn’t moved for a while. Who they’re and what happened is for whoever arrives to say, and for the medical service if it is needed. What IRIS contributes is making that while shorter.
What if somebody crouches down or lies down on purpose?
It happens every day: someone ties a shoelace, a child throws themselves on the floor, a guest rummages in a case. That’s why there’s a delay before the alert, and why the alert arrives with the video: whoever gets it sees in two seconds whether to run or not. IRIS doesn’t decide, it alerts. Detecting isn’t deciding.
Is this done in the rooms as well?
No, without exception. Rooms, bathrooms, locker rooms and any private area are outside the system: no camera goes there. This camera is in a public area, in plain view of everyone, and that’s where it makes sense. In a room there’s nothing to detect because there’s nothing to look at.

Who is watching a whole quay at three in the morning?
14 cases: 13 raise an alert when something happens and one only measures. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.

And the best part
Recording is memory.Understanding is attention, and that’s the part you had never bought.
The recording is still kept in case you need it. What’s added is that those same images are understood as they arrive, not months later and not by hand.
Tell us your problem and we’ll say whether IRIS understands it, or not yet.
A person answers, the same working day.
