For hospital security and facilities teams. Zone rules cover ambulance bays, helipads, stores and restricted corridors, and count rules show when a waiting area passes its threshold. Any use that touches patient care needs clinical and ethical review before a pilot.

This sector is in our industry directory rather than among the six primary markets. We have not developed a full workflow or pilot plan for it yet.
Where it is used
Who it is for
- Hospital security
- Facilities management
- Clinical governance
Emergency access
An entry to an ambulance bay or a helipad zone raises an alert, and a dwell rule sets how long a vehicle may stay there.
Restricted areas
An entry to a store or a restricted corridor during closed hours.
Waiting areas
An event when the people in view of a waiting-area camera reach a number.
Events of interest
Events for emergency access, stores and waiting areas.
Each says what it needs and where it stops. The rules you set on a camera raise these events, and the alerts that go with them.
Vehicle stopped where it should not
A vehicle stays in a no-stopping zone, a fire lane or an emergency bay beyond the time you set.
- When
- A vehicle's time inside the zone passes the limit.
- Limit
- A vehicle held in traffic inside the zone is reported like a parked one.
Restricted-area access
A person enters a room, floor or yard at a time when entry is restricted.
- When
- A person enters the zone outside the permitted hours.
- Limit
- The rule knows the time, not the person: it cannot tell an authorised entry from an unauthorised one.
After-hours presence
A person or vehicle is in an area during the hours it should be empty.
- When
- Zone entry inside a scheduled window.
- Limit
- The schedule follows the clock, so authorised late work raises it unless that camera is excepted.
Queue too long
The number of people in the view of a camera that covers a queue area reaches the number you set.
- When
- The count of people in the camera's view reaches the threshold.
- Limit
- A count of everyone the camera can see: not a count inside a drawn queue zone, and not a wait time. Staff and passers-by in view are counted too.
Occupancy threshold
The number of people or vehicles in a camera's view reaches the capacity you set.
- When
- The count of the chosen object type reaches the threshold.
- Limit
- It counts what one camera can see, so a space covered by several cameras needs a rule on each.
Item left behind
A bag, case or stopped vehicle stays still beyond the time you set.
- When
- A backpack, handbag, suitcase or vehicle stays still past the limit.
- Limit
- Only the detected item types are covered, anywhere in the camera's view. A bag beside its seated owner can be reported.
Person on the ground
A scene reading describes a person lying or collapsed on the ground.
- When
- The reading of a sighting carries the person-on-ground tag.
- Limit
- It follows the reading, so it is not an immediate fall alarm. People sitting or resting can be read as on the ground.
Use cases

Car-park vehicle search
Find a vehicle by type, colour or plate
Camera health

Person-on-the-ground candidates in public areas
A scene reading brought to a reviewer, after the sighting
What it needs
- Zones drawn for emergency bays and restricted areas, with their hours
- Review by your clinical governance, ethics and data-protection leads before any pilot
Boundaries
- Not a medical device and not a patient-monitoring system. It does not prevent falls, wandering or abduction, and no clinical outcome is claimed.
- A person-on-the-ground reading follows the sighting and can be wrong. It is not an immediate fall alarm.
- A line or zone rule cannot tell a patient from a visitor or a member of staff.
- Every person the cameras follow, patients and visitors included, is kept as a sighting, with a still where a frame was captured, all day, whatever a rule's schedule says.
- A scene reading sends a still of the whole camera view to the AI service you choose.
- Cameras in wards and treatment areas raise consent, dignity and data-protection questions that your governance teams must settle first.
- This sector is offered only after specialist validation with your team.
Capabilities used
The same platform. Different rules.
Each site gets its own cameras, modules and rules. Nothing is custom-built; everything is configured.
Review emergency access and restricted areas.
Choose the ambulance bays and two restricted areas. We will show the rules and the review queue on footage from them, with your governance team in the room.
