The behaviours Ethan AI can see for you.
Ethan watches the patterns that matter — through your existing camera setup — and tells caregivers the moment something needs attention.
Five behaviours, monitored continuously, alerted in real time.
Head-banging
Rapid, repeated head movement — the kind that signals distress or self-injurious behaviour. Ethan alerts caregivers immediately. A sustained episode is flagged as urgent so it never gets missed.
Crying and distress sounds
Sustained crying, wailing, whimpering, or screaming — the audio signals that mean a child needs immediate attention. Short yelps are debounced so caregivers aren’t alerted by isolated sounds.
Head posture
Watches for a head tilt held in one direction for sustained periods — a behavioural observation worth a caregiver’s check-in, not a medical diagnosis.
Glasses on or off
For autism therapy programmes where consistent eyewear matters. Ethan logs each time the glasses go on or come off — so therapists and parents can see the pattern over weeks, not guess at it.
Leaving a safe zone
Alerts the moment a child exits a defined safe area — a gate, a door, a boundary you set. Wandering alerts have driven more documented caregiver interventions than any other behaviour we detect.
Accuracy figures above are from internal benchmarks on representative footage. Real-world performance varies with lighting, microphone quality, and camera placement. Every alert carries a confidence reading the caregiver can see.
Behaviours we are building next.
Built around what parents, teachers, and therapists in our Visakhapatnam and Hyderabad pilots told us they need next. Order may shift based on which clinics adopt Ethan first.
Hand-flapping and stimming patternsRecognising repetitive self-stimulatory movement and logging frequency over the day, week, and month.
Drooling detectionCurrently in testing; accuracy is still improving. Sustained drooling is a signal therapists want tracked over time.
Hair-pulling and skin-pickingSelf-directed behaviours often tied to anxiety or sensory overload.
RockingSustained torso oscillation — a common self-soothing pattern that therapists track session by session.
Object thrownDistinguishing intentional throwing from accidental drops.
Falls and sudden posture lossImmediate alert when a child goes from upright to prone or seated unexpectedly.
Prolonged stillnessExtended periods without movement during expected wake hours — a flag worth a parent’s eye.
Climbing furnitureFor caregivers monitoring exploration during unstructured play.
Custom behaviours for clinicsTherapy centres can request behaviours specific to their programme. We scope, build, and validate them with the centre before deployment.
How Ethan AI works.
Connect a camera
Use the camera you already have. Existing home CCTV, an IP camera, a laptop webcam, or a spare mobile phone all work. No new hardware to buy, install, or wire.
Choose the behaviours
Pick from our list of monitored behaviours. Set up a profile for each child. Caregivers — parent, teacher, therapist — each see what is relevant to their role.
Get alerted when it matters
Realtime alerts the moment a flagged behaviour is observed. Each alert is logged with a timestamp and a plain-English explanation. Caregivers review what mattered, not raw footage.
Use the camera you already own.
Ethan AI speaks the open standards your camera already speaks. If your camera supports RTSP or ONVIF — and almost every prosumer security camera does — paste in your stream URL and you are set up.
Works today
Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, Amcrest, CP Plus prosumer NVRs, TP-Link Tapo, Imou (non-battery), Annke, UniFi Protect, Swann (wired) — and any ONVIF-compatible camera. Don’t see your brand? Most prosumer cameras work the same way — paste your stream URL and Ethan AI will tell you.

A spare laptop webcam or an old phone is enough to try Ethan AI on the free trial. For a permanent setup, our recommended starter list — Imou Cue 2, Reolink E1 Pro, or a basic Hikvision indoor — ships from Amazon.in in 48 hours.
Alerts arrive where you already are.
Email for the grandparent. Slack for the therapy team. Home Assistant for the connected home. Or any of the 1,000+ tools your routine already runs through.
Email — instant alert plus a weekly digest you can scan in a minute. Slack — a clean card to the channel of your choice. Web push — coming to your browser soon.
Home Assistant, IFTTT, Zapier, Make, n8n, Hubitat, Shelly. Trigger a smart bulb on a distress alert. Speak the alert through Echo via Home Assistant. Send each event to a Google Sheet for clinical review. If your home talks to itself, Ethan AI joins the conversation.
Native Apple Home, Google Home and Amazon Alexa integrations are on our roadmap. Today you can already reach them through Home Assistant — which we are happy to help you set up.
Built for the three things caregivers ask for most.
Ethan AI understands each child’s individual behaviour patterns. Insights are tuned to the child, not to a generic profile, so the alerts caregivers receive reflect what is meaningful for that child.
Behaviour observations flow securely across home, school, and therapy environments. Caregivers across roles see a consistent picture instead of three disconnected stories.
Personal data is protected in compliance with India’s DPDP Act (2023). Children’s data is collected only with parental consent. Caregivers control retention and can export or delete their data at any time.
Pay for what your home or clinic actually needs.
