Abstract: For determining user risk using multiple data types, an apparatus is disclosed. A system, method, and program product also perform the functions of the apparatus. The apparatus for determining user risk using multiple data types includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores code executable by the processor.

In response to the first probability exceeding a first threshold, the processor receives second data, the second data being a different type of data than the first data. The processor also determines a second probability of the user being in danger using the second data. In response to the second probability exceeding a second threshold, the processor initiates an alarm.

Abstract: An approach is provided to detecting motion using statistical noise analysis. In the approach, reference statistics are calculated that relate to one or more noise characteristics that correspond to pixels in a first set of video images of an area being monitored. Current noise characteristics are received that correspond to the same pixels in a second set of video images of the area being monitored, with the first set of video images being captured before the second set of video images. Motion is detected in the area being monitored by comparing the reference statistics to the current noise characteristics.
