Abstract
The increasing elderly population has increased interest in the Ambient Assisted Living systems. This article presents a system for monitoring the disabled or elderly developed from an existing surveillance system. The modularity and adaptability characteristics of the system allow an easy adaptation for a different purpose. The proposed system uses a network of sensors capable of motion detection that includes fall warning, identification of persons and a configurable control system which allows its use in different scenarios.
