Abstract

Disclosed herein is a system for facilitating motion analysis in an environment, in accordance with some embodiments. Accordingly, the system may include a plurality of motions sensors configured to be disposed in the environment. Further, the plurality of motion sensors may be configured to generate a plurality of motion data corresponding to at least one motion of at least one object in the environment. Further, the system may include a plurality of video cameras disposable at a plurality of key locations in the environment. Further, at least one video camera may be configured to transmit a part of a corresponding image sequence to a remote monitoring center through at least one gateway. Further, the system may include at least one gateway disposable proximal to the environment, which may be configured as a two-way interface capable of communicating with the remote monitoring center and the plurality of motion sensors.
