Fall Detection AI: Detect Falls in Video Automatically

Upload a video and BGBlur's AI finds every fall for you. Get the exact timestamps, what happened, whether the person got up, and an approximate age group. Built for reviewing senior care, home, and CCTV footage.

How fall detection works

  1. 1

    Upload your video

    Choose an MP4 or MOV, up to 10 minutes and 2GB. Your video opens in Video Intelligence automatically.

  2. 2

    Fall Detection template is ready

    The fall detection prompt is already selected. Press Analyze to start. You can also edit the prompt first.

  3. 3

    Review every fall

    Get timestamps, what happened, whether the person got up and an approximate age group. Then ask follow-up questions.

BGBlur analyzes recorded video that you upload. It is not a live alarm, an emergency alert service or a medical device. Age group is a rough visual estimate, and a person should check every result.

Detect Falls in Video Automatically

Stop scrubbing through hours of footage. Upload a video and the AI looks for falls, trips, slips, collapses and people who end up on the floor unexpectedly. It also tells similar movements apart, such as sitting down, bending, exercising or lying down on purpose, so you review real events instead of false alarms.

A Timestamp for Every Fall

Every detected fall comes with a start and end time, so you can jump straight to the moment. The report lists how many falls were found and flags the ones that most need urgent human review, which turns a long recording into a short checklist.

Senior Fall Review for Elderly Care

Care teams and families can review camera footage for senior falls and build a clear picture of what happened. You get the circumstances, such as the location, the surface and any visible trigger like a step or a wet floor. Visible mobility aids such as a cane, walker or wheelchair are noted as well. It is a practical elderly fall monitor for recorded video.

What Happened After the Fall

The analysis describes the aftermath: whether the person got up on their own, was helped, or stayed down and for how long, and whether anyone responded. It also gives a rough age group (child, young adult, adult or older adult) as a visual estimate with a confidence level, never an exact age. You can then ask follow-up questions about the video in plain language.

Fall Detection Without Wearables or New Hardware

You do not need a pendant, a sensor or a new device. Use the footage you already have from home cameras, care-home cameras, CCTV or a phone. Upload an MP4 or MOV up to 10 minutes and 2GB, and get the results in your browser.

Fall Detection FAQ

What is AI fall detection for video?

It reviews a video you upload and finds moments where a person falls, slips, trips or collapses. Each finding comes with a timestamp, a description of what happened and what happened afterwards.

Does it send real-time fall alerts?

No. BGBlur analyzes recorded video that you upload. It is not a live monitor, an emergency alert service or a medical device. For real-time fall alerts use a dedicated senior fall alert or monitoring service.

How accurate is fall detection?

It can miss events or flag movements that are not falls, especially with poor lighting, long distance or blocked views. Treat the results as a guide to where to look and have a person confirm anything important.

How does it estimate age?

It gives a rough age group (child, young adult, adult or older adult) as a visual estimate with a confidence level. It does not give an exact age and does not identify anyone.

Do I need a wearable or fall detection device?

No. It works on video from cameras you already have, such as home cameras, care-home cameras, CCTV or a phone. Wearable fall detection devices for seniors are a different kind of product that detects falls live.

What are the file limits for fall detection?

MP4 and MOV videos up to 2GB and 10 minutes long. After you upload, the video opens in Video Intelligence with the Fall Detection prompt ready, and analysis uses your Video Intelligence credits.

Can I blur moving objects in a video automatically?

Yes, BGBlur's AI automatically tracks moving objects, faces, and vehicles. You do not need to manually mask every frame; the motion-aware tracker keeps the blur locked onto the subject as it moves.

How do I pixelate faces online without installing software?

BGBlur is a completely web-based tool. You can upload any video or image, select the Face Blur tool, and apply pixelation or blur instantly inside your browser without downloading any apps or plugins.

Is it possible to auto-blur license plates in dashcam videos?

Absolutely. Our AI is trained specifically to detect and blur license plates in driving footage, dashcams, and street-view videos. It helps creators and transport fleets stay compliant with privacy laws.

Does BGBlur upload my private videos to a remote server?

Your privacy is our priority. BGBlur leverages advanced client-side technologies to process videos securely. Your files are processed locally in your browser and are never uploaded or stored permanently on external servers.

Can I blur a video background on iPhone, Android, or mobile devices?

Yes! BGBlur is fully responsive and optimized for mobile browsers. You can easily blur a video background or pixelate faces directly on your iPhone, iPad, or Android phone.

What is the maximum video file size and duration supported?

Limits depend on the feature. Standard video blur tools such as face blur, license plate blur, background blur, blur anything, screen blur, NSFW blur, and face anonymization support up to 200MB and 10 minutes on the free plan, while Pro users get unlimited blur processing with longer video support. Object Remover supports MP4 and MOV videos up to 1GB and 10 seconds per clip. Voice Anon direct uploads support up to 100MB, while the upload/URL workflow supports audio or video files up to 500MB and under 10 minutes.
