Aggressive Behavior Detection
By the time someone reports a fight, the damage is done. Clear Watch Aggressive Behavior Detection recognizes violence as it develops — fighting or one-sided assault — and gets a live operator on it in seconds.
What It Does
Aggressive Behavior Detection identifies acts of violence — a fight between two people or a one-sided assault — by analyzing the speed and pattern of movement between people in the scene. The incident is recognized as it develops, not discovered later during footage review, giving staff and responders the chance to intervene while intervention still matters.
Reliability is engineered in. Sensitivity is configured separately for day and night conditions, and a filtering process ensures that energetic but harmless activity — kids horsing around, an animated conversation, a game — doesn't raise events. The result is an alert stream operators can trust: when it fires, something real is happening.
An enhanced version is available through Clear Watch's Hybrid AI Boost subscription, adding contextual scene understanding and finer detail recognition for higher accuracy in complex, crowded scenes such as transport hubs, school commons, and entertainment districts.
Who Uses It
Fights Escalate in Seconds. They're Usually Reported After They End.
Fights in hallways, cafeterias, and parking lots are over before anyone radios for help — unless detection gets staff moving in real time.
- Real-time detection gets staff and SROs moving while the incident is still stoppable
- Covers hallways, cafeterias, parking lots, and common areas
- Live operator verifies before escalating — no false alarms disrupting the school day
An Assault on Staff Shouldn't Wait for Someone to Reach a Panic Button.
Healthcare workers face some of the highest workplace violence rates of any profession. Detection flags the assault the moment it starts.
- Covers EDs, waiting rooms, and behavioral health units
- Detects one-sided assaults on staff — not just mutual fights
- Response starts before the victim can call for help
Immediate Response. Defensible Documentation. Both.
Assaults in housing units, yards, and dayrooms demand a response that doesn't depend on an officer watching the right monitor at the right moment.
- Automated detection across housing units, yards, and dayrooms
- Removes dependence on manual monitoring
- Every event is timestamped and documented for incident review
De-Escalate Before a Shove Becomes a Lawsuit.
Altercations in bars, lobbies, pool decks, and parking lots create injuries and liability. Early alerts give security the window to intervene.
- Early detection lets security de-escalate before violence takes hold
- Covers bars, lobbies, pool decks, and parking lots
- Verified alerts reduce liability and strengthen incident documentation
Violence Shouldn't Vanish Into Unwatched Footage.
Violence on platforms, in parks, and around public buildings erodes public confidence — and usually goes unresponded to until after the fact.
- Detection across city cameras means every assault gets a verified response
- Covers transit platforms, parks, and public buildings
- Direct digital 911 delivery to more than 700 PSAPs

Live Verification
A live operator assesses the video and acts in seconds — issuing a live audio voice-down over on-site speakers, which is often enough to break up an altercation on its own.
Emergency Dispatch
When warranted, the operator escalates to dispatch, including direct digital 911 delivery with verified, real-time information.

FAQs
-
The system analyzes the speed and pattern of movement between people and applies a filtering process so energetic but harmless activity doesn't raise events. Sensitivity is tuned per site and separately for day and night, and Clear Watch operators verify every alert on live video before escalating.
-
Both. The detection covers fighting between parties and one-sided assault — one person attacking another who isn't fighting back — which is often the scenario that matters most in healthcare, schools, and transit.
-
Detection is real-time, and the event streams immediately to live operators who verify and act in seconds — voice-down, staff notification, and dispatch escalation including direct digital 911 delivery. The goal is intervention during the incident, not documentation after it.
