A system within a dwelling for monitoring and reporting the activity of a resident includes one or more sensors and control data processing means for analysing patterns of movement of a resident in the building compared to store normal patterns. The system reports to a remote observer when the sensed patterns of movement deviate from normal so a possibly resident may be monitored. Multiple sensors at the dwelling are connected to a local data processing means which is in communication with a remote data processing means; the analysis may be done locally or at the remote server. The observer may be contacted via two-way internet and or telecommunications means including web pages and SMS text messages. Sensors may also include video camera means (see fig 3) which may be positioned external the residence and at a residence door so visitors may be monitored. The privacy of a resident may be protected by processing captured images from local cameras to reduce the image clarity for a remote observer. |
