Detecting an emergency is important, but preventing an emergency before it happens can be even more valuable.

We therefore added a risk detection feature based on sound patterns over time. Instead of reacting to a single sound event, the system continuously monitors repeated environmental sounds.

For example, YAMNet can recognize water-related sounds such as dripping or running water. A single water drip is usually normal, but if the system continuously detects water sounds over a certain period of time, it may indicate a possible water leak.

The system can then generate an early warning before the situation develops into a more serious problem.

This adds a second layer of home safety:

Emergency detection → respond to danger

Risk prediction → identify potential danger early
