Monitoring & Detection /07  Motion

Motion Detection in Properties

Activity insight without intrusion. Movement sensing that supports welfare monitoring, energy efficiency and safer homes - measuring changes in the surroundings rather than watching residents.

WHAT IT IS

What is motion
detection?

Motion detection uses sensors to measure changes in the surrounding environment - identifying movement and activity within a property. Rather than recording images or audio, it captures anonymous activity signals, giving housing providers a privacy-respecting view of how and when spaces are used. In healthcare and supported living it is widely used to monitor daily activity and flag concerns early.

  • Detects movement by measuring changes in the surroundings
  • Anonymous activity data - no cameras, no audio, no identification
  • Real-time signals on movement within rooms and communal areas
  • Activity patterns that support welfare and care decisions
  • Used in healthcare to monitor wellbeing and daily routines

WHY IT MATTERS

Insight that keeps
residents safe.

Understanding movement and activity within a property helps providers protect vulnerable residents, run buildings more efficiently and respond to concerns before they become emergencies.

  1. 01

    Welfare monitoring for vulnerable residents

    In supported and sheltered housing, motion sensors can flag unusual inactivity or missed routines - prompting welfare checks and faster response.

    Healthcare & assisted living

    Activity sensing supports care teams by tracking daily routines and movement patterns, helping identify changes in behaviour that may signal a health concern.

    Smarter, more efficient buildings

    Movement data helps tune heating, lighting and cleaning in communal areas around real usage - cutting waste and running costs.

    Security & void protection

    Unexpected movement in void or unoccupied properties can trigger alerts, helping protect assets from damage, squatting and unauthorised access.

    Security
SAFEGUARDING

Protecting tenants & vulnerable residents.

Motion sensing supports welfare without intrusion - particularly valuable in sheltered housing, supported living and care settings where dignity and privacy matter.

  • Flag prolonged inactivity or missed daily routines
  • Alert staff or family to potential welfare concerns
  • Support rapid response without cameras or recording
  • Maintain dignity with fully anonymised activity data
EFFICIENCY & SECURITY

Efficient, secure buildings.

Beyond welfare, motion data helps providers run properties more efficiently and protect empty homes from avoidable risk.

  • Drive lighting and heating in communal areas by real use
  • Detect movement in void or unoccupied properties
  • Reduce energy waste and lower running costs
  • Strengthen security across the wider portfolio
