When an alarm event occurs, the device can report it to other system components, such as: - Indoor Monitors - Guard Phones - SDMC - SmartPlus Cloud - Third-Party Systems This allows caregivers or administrators to receive alerts and respond quickly. **Example scenario**: An elderly resident falls in the bedroom →MR01 detects the fall → Alarm notification appears on the R49 guard phone. ## Prerequisites Before configuration, ensure the following: - MR01 is installed and powered on. - The device is connected to a network. - The installation position (ceiling or wall) has been determined. ## Configure Basic Fall Detection This configuration is suitable for scenarios where basic fall detection is required, such as: - Bedrooms - Living rooms - Care environments After configuration: - MR01 monitors the defined space - Fall events are automatically detected ### Step 1: Configure the Detection Space The detection space defines the area where fall detection is active. 1. Long-press the physical button on MR01’s top until it announces its IP address. 2. Use the device IP to log in to its web interface. The initial username and password are **admin**. 3. Go to **Fall Settings > General Settings**. 4. Select **Top Mount** or **Side Mount** based on the installation type. 5. Define the detection area based on the room size by setting the **xMin**, **xMax**, **yMin**, and **yMax**. 6. Define the **Maximum Detection Height**. 7. Set the **Installation Height** based on the actual scenario. 8. Enter the device **Installation Location** name. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f09a6106-e976-455e-b2d0-3d88b5385960/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2026-05-13 115226.png) 1. Submit the setting. > [!NOTE] > Recommendation: > > Ensure the configured detection area covers the actual activity area while avoiding unnecessary empty space. ### Step 2: Configure Subregions Subregions allow precise control of detection behavior within specific areas. 1. Go to **Fall Settings > Sub-regions**. 2. Click **+Add** to create a sub-region. 3. Customize the **Region Name**. 4. Select the **Region Type**. Here, we create 2 sub-regions. One type is **Custom**, and another is **Door**. - **Custom**: General detection area. - **Door**: Entrance area. 1. Define the sub-region size and position by setting **xMin**, **xMax**, **yMin**, and **yMax**. 2. Enable **Fall Detection**. 3. Enable **Occupancy Detection** if needed. It detects whether individuals are occupying the area. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f09a6106-e976-455e-b2d0-3d88b5385960/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2026-05-13 133702.png) 1. Confirm the setting and submit. After the configuration, the **Room Status** section displays real-time detection results, including personnel status and region status. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f09a6106-e976-455e-b2d0-3d88b5385960/Images/Documentation/image-SEMSYYJ1.png) ### [Optional]Step 3: Configure Fall Detection Settings 1. Go to **Fall Settings > General Settings > Fall Detection Settings**. 2. Set the **Fall Confirmation Time**. When the duration of the fall event reaches this value, it will be considered a fall event, triggering an alarm. 3. Set the **Fall Delay Reporting Time**. When the duration of the fall event reaches this value, it will be reported to the SDMC, indoor monitor, guard phone, or third-party system. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f09a6106-e976-455e-b2d0-3d88b5385960/Images/Documentation/image-TJT3R772.png) 1. Submit the setting. ## Configure Bed-exit Detection ### Step 1: Configure the Detection Space The detection space defines the area where the detection is active. 1. Long-press the physical button on MR01’s top until it announces its IP address. 2. Use the device IP to log in to its web interface. The initial username and password are **admin**. 3. Go to **Fall Settings > General Settings**. 4. Select **Top Mount** or **Side Mount** based on the installation type. 5. Define the detection area based on the room size by setting the **xMin**, **xMax**, **yMin**, and **yMax**. 6. Define the **Maximum Detection Height**. 7. Set the **Installation Height** based on the actual scenario. 8. Enter the device **Installation Location** name. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f09a6106-e976-455e-b2d0-3d88b5385960/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2026-05-13 115226.png) 1. Submit the setting. > [!NOTE] > Recommendation: > > Ensure the configured detection area covers the actual activity area while avoiding unnecessary empty space. ### Step 2: Configure Subregions Subregions allow precise control of detection behavior within specific areas. 1. Go to **Fall Settings > Sub-regions**. 2. Click **+Add** to create a sub-region. 3. Select the **Bed** region type. 4. Customize the **Region Name**. 5. Define the sub-region size and position by setting **xMin**, **xMax**, **yMin**, and **yMax**. 6. Enable **In-bed Detection**. 7. Set the **Bed-exit Time Threshold**. If the target leaves the bed for longer than the set time, an alarm will be triggered and reported. 8. Set the **Detection Start Time** and **End Time** if **Schedule** is enabled. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f09a6106-e976-455e-b2d0-3d88b5385960/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2026-05-13 134056.png) 1. Confirm the setting and submit. After configuration, when fall events or bed-exit events occur, MR01 will sound an alarm and flash a red indicator light quickly. ## Alarm Reporting To receive alarm reporting, - Devices should share the same **Device Address** in the on-premise projects. - Devices should be added to the same room when they are connected to the SmartPlus Cloud. - Devices should be added under the same node when they are connected to the Akuvox SDMC software. ### Receive Alarm on the SmartPlus Cloud Before receiving alarms, ensure that the installer has added the MR01 to the SmartPlus Cloud. For configuration steps, refer to the guide [Add MR01 Sensor to the SmartPlus Cloud](/v1/docs/configure-mr01-detection-for-singe-family-house-project). Once set up, property managers can monitor and manage alarms from the **Alarm Records > Care Alarm** interface. To resolve an alarm, click the resolve icon ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f09a6106-e976-455e-b2d0-3d88b5385960/Images/Documentation/image-PH4K7N60.png) to mark it as handled. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f09a6106-e976-455e-b2d0-3d88b5385960/Images/Documentation/image-SYT5YAZL.png) ### Receive Alarm on the SDMC When the MR01 is added to the SDMC, residents can receive the alarm from their indoor monitor or guard phone under the same node as the MR01. > [!NOTE] > Note > > SDMC’s version should be 6.0.0.75 or higher. The SDMC will display the notification pop-up. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f09a6106-e976-455e-b2d0-3d88b5385960/Images/Documentation/image-HMMBN1UR.png) You can later resolve the alarm by navigating to **Logs > Alarm Logs** and clicking ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f09a6106-e976-455e-b2d0-3d88b5385960/Images/Documentation/image-CS3UGPW3.png). ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f09a6106-e976-455e-b2d0-3d88b5385960/Images/Documentation/image-C7W74FJ4.png) ### Receive Alarm on the Guard Phone > [!NOTE] > Compatible model and version(or higher) > > R49G: 49.30.10.85 Check the alarm record on the R49G’s **Message > Alarm** screen. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f09a6106-e976-455e-b2d0-3d88b5385960/Images/Documentation/8642b166affab11f9d16566769e5453f_compress.jpg) ### Receive Alarm on the Indoor Monitor > [!NOTE] > Compatible model and version(or higher) > > - S567: 567.30.114.953 > - S565: 565.30.15.417 > - S563: 563.30.14.952 > - C316: 316.30.14.951 > - C313V3: 313.30.16.203 > - C313V2-2: 212.30.16.21 > - X937: 937.30.14.953 The indoor monitor will sound an alarm and display the notification. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f09a6106-e976-455e-b2d0-3d88b5385960/Images/Documentation/screenshots - 2026-04-14T103429.781.png) The alarm is recorded on the **Arming > Alarm Log > Other Alarm** screen. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f09a6106-e976-455e-b2d0-3d88b5385960/Images/Documentation/screenshots - 2026-04-14T103208.106.png)
