Overview

The features of AlterMo

"AlterMo" is an application that uses the camera of an Android smartphone to monitor objects in real-time by drawing lines, and detects anomalies. When anomalies such as changes in color or movement are detected within the lines, immediate notifications are sent through webhook integration with external services such as Slack. It allows for easy setup of remote monitoring systems through simple operations.

How to Use

The ultimate in simplicity in operation and installation

Upon launching the app, draw lines on the smartphone screen to set up triggers. When an object touches those lines, it will detect anomalies. The detection targets can be customized according to your needs.

    3.Detection and notification

    Detect anomalies and notify

    When an object touches the line, it detects anomalies. The detection targets can be changed in the settings, and you can receive immediate notifications through integrated external services (such as Slack).

Feature

Monitor only the desired objects for detection

You can freely draw lines to define the spaces you want to monitor, such as corridors or doors. You can specify the areas you want to detect. Additionally, you can set parameters such as detection time and method, specifying colors or moving objects (color detection, motion detection), allowing for customization to various use cases.

  • 動体検知

    Motion detection

    While looking at the screen, you can adjust the sensitivity to moving objects and change the amount of background motion difference. By adjusting it along with the detection time, you can narrow down the targets you want to capture.

  • 色検知

    Color detection

    If the object you want to detect is wearing blue clothing, you can adjust the parameters in the color settings accordingly. By setting a tolerance value, you can include similar colors while still capturing the target.

  • 検知時間

    Detection Duration Settings

    You can set the interval from the beginning to the end of detection, allowing you to tailor it to various use cases such as ignoring fast-moving objects and detecting slow-moving ones.

Configuration

You can configure settings in detail on your smartphone

By setting up your smartphone and drawing lines, detection automatically begins. You can customize the objects you want to detect according to your needs. For example, by adjusting parameters in the color picker to specify colors, you can intuitively identify the objects you want to detect while previewing.

Use Case

Realize custom monitoring solutions with AlterMo

With just one Android device, 'AlterMo' allows for easy monitoring and caregiving, and can notify results through integration with external services. It can be utilized as a flexible monitoring tool that adapts to various use cases.

  • AlterMoユースケース
    Hospital entrances, corridors, facilities, and lobby control and management
  • AlterMoユースケース
    Home security for areas such as houses, hallways, and parking lots
  • Logistics management of lanes and conveyors for products or agricultural produce
  • Warning for restricted areas such as factories

By specifying the target for monitoring and caregiving based on 'motion' or 'color', and also setting the detection time, 'AlterMo' effectively addresses needs that cannot be solved solely by camera installation. For example, let's set the detection time to 6 seconds. It will only notify about illegally parked bicycles, ignoring objects (in this case, people) that pass by without stopping.

Webhook

Integration with Webhook services

It's a system that notifies instantly through integration with external services (such as Slack) via the Webhook feature. It's a new-generation detection app that allows for easy setup of remote monitoring systems with simple operation using an Android smartphone.

For example, if an intrusion is detected in restricted or hazardous areas, you can instantly know the results by integrating with external services.
