A method and system for detecting a request for distress assistance is disclosed. An electronic screen of the system is configured to display visible information that instructs on a human performance of a clandestine gesture that will indicate the request for distress assistance. The method includes carrying out video analytics on video to automatically detect and recognize that the human has communicated the clandestine gesture via an at least one surveillance camera that captured the video. The method also includes determining, based on the communicated clandestine gesture and contextual information, a level of urgency of the request for distress assistance indicated by the clandestine gesture. The method also includes generating an electronic notification or electronic alert, based on the level of urgency, corresponding to an expected assistance action to be taken by a designated assistance person.
