Abstract
This paper describes a vision based simple and secure way of surveillance in the patient room. The surveillance of any sections in the patient room will be monitored using a camera to trigger an appropriate alert to the interested person. Video should be acquired from the camera extracted to frames then the video frames processed where the action has detected in the region of interest. Background subtraction technique used to detect an action in the coordinates given in the video sequence. If any action is detects in the given coordinates, software will examine the situation and alert is send via short message service (SMS) over global system for mobile communication (GSM) network because of its highly availability, security and just in time process.
