Vaping and Smoking Detection in Schools

Protecting Our Students and Schools

The Elmira City School District uses Vaping and Smoking Detection Systems in schools to protect students and to deter them from the unhealthy habit.  Vape detectors in schools are essential for ensuring a healthier and safer educational environment. In Elmira, we have installed the HALO Smart Sensor which is providing protection for our schools in bathrooms, locker rooms, and more, to detect and alert administration to student vaping, vaping with THC, and smoking. HALO provides instant alerts so security and administration can quickly identify the location of an incident and address the issue – helping to protect students, faculty, and school property.

Vape detectors can help schools identify and manage incidents, deter harmful behavior, and support state laws and compliance. They work by monitoring the air for chemicals, gasses, and other particulate matter associated with vaping. When a vape detector goes off, it can send a silent alarm to a list of people or groups, such as by text, email, or mobile app notification.

Vape and Marijuana (THC) Detection

HALO vape sensors identify vaping in classrooms, but private areas where normal security footage is prohibited like the school bathroom, locker rooms, and dorm rooms. Having a vape sensor in these areas tells the students, “Don’t participate here”, ensuring a healthier environment.

When the sensor is alarmed by vaping in the area, an alert is sent to a administrators through an app on smart devices.

Aggression Detection and Calls for Help

Students and staff can call for help using specific keywords. Get notified of fights or bullying in bathrooms, locker rooms, and even dorm rooms at universities. HALO stands out among other vape detectors for schools by offering an enhanced level of safety and peace of mind.

Gunshot and Gun Powder Detection

The Halo vape sensors also have the capability to detect gunshot sounds. School shootings are happening more often than you think. By placing HALO throughout our schools, we are able to identify gunshots and the location.

Chemical and Gas Detection

Vape sensors catch chemical smells and hazardous gases that could be generated from mechanical or utility rooms, custodial closets, and/or maintenance areas.
