Activity Detection Alerts
Configure alerts specific events, like a person falling or climbing a wall.
AI-powered Activity Detection alerts you to specific behaviors, such as falling, climbing, or fighting, instead of every minor movement. This reduces distractions and highlights important events.
You need Site Admin permissions for the site a camera is in to configure alerts.
AI-powered Activity Detection is supported on the CD43, CD53, CD63, CY53, CY63, and CP63 cameras, and on the CF83 camera when operating in panoramic mode.

Configure Auto-Archive for Fall Detection
Verkada can automatically archive event footage and create an incident report when a fall detection alert is generated. The following setup must be completed to enable this workflow:
An Org Admin must enable Auto-Archive for Events in Feature Manager.
Create a camera alert for fall detection. Each time the system generates a fall detection alert, it notifies the designated recipients and automatically creates a corresponding incident report.
The system saves the incident report to the Incidents page, where users can access video of the fall. Any user with Site Viewer permissions or higher for the corresponding site can access the incident.
