Could you build this?
Partial Wiring pretrained vision models and cloud AI into an event pipeline is buildable, but reliable detection of falls and medical emergencies needs labeled data, tuning, and validation that a vibe-coded prototype won't provide.
What it would actually take: A real version would run lightweight pose or motion detection and smoke/fire classifiers locally, escalate uncertain events to a cloud vision-language model, and store clip context with an HTTP API. The hard part is accuracy: false negatives in medical or fire scenarios are costly, so it needs labeled domain datasets, per-camera calibration, and field testing, ideally with clinical or safety review.
