Privacy Radar Vs Cameras
Privacy Matters — Radar vs Camera-Based Fall Detection
Introduction: Dignity Comes First
Families are clear: they don’t want cameras in bedrooms or bathrooms. Yet safety still matters. Silver Shield uses radar technology — no images, no intrusion — to deliver both.
The Problem with Cameras
Privacy invasion in bedrooms/toilets
GDPR and safeguarding concerns
Anxiety and resistance from families/residents
The Silver Shield Difference
mmWave radar: senses movement, no visuals
Data only: no images stored or transmitted
GDPR-compliant: privacy protected end-to-end
Why Families Prefer It
When a home can prove it values dignity as much as safety, trust grows. Families choose providers who avoid intrusive surveillance.
Case Example
A London home trialled cameras in communal areas and met resistance. Switching to Silver Shield reassured families and eliminated privacy complaints.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can radar see through clothes or walls?
No, it only tracks movement and position within the monitored room.
Is it acceptable under GDPR?
Yes — data is anonymised, no personal imagery captured.
Conclusion
Safety shouldn’t mean surveillance. Silver Shield keeps residents safe without ever compromising dignity.
