Abstract: Sometimes, there are cases in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in hospital need to be monitored continuously to take a certain action in case of any movement by the patient such as coma cases and does not know when will happen. This study proposes a smart surveillance system for monitoring a coma patient in ICU by using frame difference algorithm to recognize any motion in front of web camera installed in ICU room to provide continuously watchful eye for patient, the idea of the proposed system is capturing a frame each 1 sec then comparing with previous adjacent one by making difference between them and doing decision depending on the comparison result, the surveillance system provides sound alert to call observers and then records streaming video in case of motion detected in order to provide a suitable treatment. The system programed using Microsoft Visual Basic Net 2015 that runs on computer under Windows operating system, Windows 7 or higher.
