Unattended Objects
Detects bags, packages, equipment and materials left in place with no owner nearby, and holds the clip that shows who left them and when.

Objects left behind, and the clip that shows who left them
What it detects
Harvested from the computer-vision use-case columns of the Q3 industry papers. Every item below is a rule you can switch on, tune per zone and report on.
Unattended bags and packages
Flags an item that stays in place after the person who set it down has moved away.
Abandoned baskets, carts and trolleys
Covers the retail and terminal cases where the object is site equipment rather than a personal item.
Equipment and stock left outdoors
Detects stock, tools and equipment left in external areas outside working hours.
Temporary equipment left behind
Surfaces the ladders, cables and portable plant that stay on site after the task that needed them finished.
Misplaced or incorrectly stored assets
Identifies assets sitting outside their designated storage area.
Foreign object debris in plant rooms and on aprons
Applies the same logic where a loose object is itself the exposure.
Object dwell near high-value goods
Flags unusual dwell of an item near cages, pharma storage and high-value staging.
Unattended hazardous-material containers
Detects containers left outside a controlled storage area.
Owner-of-record clip
Keeps the footage of the moment the object arrived, so the question of who left it is answerable.
Time in place before removal
Measures how long each object stayed, per zone.
Where it applies
The sub-sectors below are the ones the Q3 industry papers name for this detection. Each links to the industry hub.
How it works
01
Runs on the cameras you already have
Inference happens at the edge on your existing CCTV and IP streams. No new camera estate, no video leaving site, no cloud round-trip in the detection loop.
02
Thresholds and zones you configure
Draw the zone, set the rule, set the dwell, count and confidence thresholds. Rules differ by area, shift and task, because sites do.
03
Evidence, not just alerts
Every event is logged with camera, zone, timestamp and a clip, so the record is reviewable afterwards and usable in a corrective action.
04
Integrates with what you already run
Events push into your VMS, alerting and reporting stack through Fogsphere Manager, with dashboards broken down by area, shift and crew.
Risk & control objective
Unattended-object detection appears in the Q3 retail, healthcare, smart city, transportation, power generation and food & beverage papers, and in each one the operational problem is the same: an alert on its own has almost no value, because the majority of unattended objects are benign and the operator has no way to triage them from a still frame.
The control objective is an object event with provenance attached — when it arrived, who set it down, how long it has been there and whether anyone returned. What the operator gains is a triage-able queue rather than a stream of alerts, and a retrievable clip for the small number of events that turn out to matter.
