Due to the ageing of world’s population, falls has become one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity in the elderly. In developed countries, most falls occur around the home or community。In addition, because of the modern social and economic developments，more and more younger adults have jobs and cannot take care of the elder and leave them stay at home along during the day time that accidents might happen more often and cause damage under such conditions。 This paper presents a Zigbee-based home emergency notification system integrating with SMS common platform、single-chip controller and video techniques for home accidents and elder falls in particular。Through the application of Zigbee technique，people are free moving without cables or being monitored by cameras all the time。The purpose for the system is to shorten the response time and have better preparation for rescue that not only share the burden of the care givers, but also reduce the costs of healthcare。ERR") {
