In the Pontosense Care app, fall detection delay is the amount of time the system waits before confirming a fall. This allows time for the person to recover on their own and helps reduce false alarms from short-duration movements.
Recommended: A delay of 90 seconds provides the best balance between accuracy and responsiveness.
Note: Choosing a lower delay may lead to more false alerts, especially if someone frequently bends, crouches, or moves quickly.
Navigate to the room where you’d like to adjust the fall detection delay.
Align the bottom of the mounting sleeve with the pencil mark. Fit it snugly into the corner, ensuring it is level and flush with both walls. Make sure the bracket is not tilted up or down.
Choose a duration (in seconds) that fits the needs of the person being monitored.
Tap Save to apply the new delay setting.
