Vaping and cigarette or combustion smoke. It also alerts if the enclosure is tampered with, and if a sensor goes offline.

No. VapeSense is built to tell the difference between vaping and everyday look-alikes such as hairspray, deodorant, body spray, steam, dust, fans and candles. They never reach staff as a false alarm.

Yes. Each sensor adapts to its own room by itself, so it works in clean, dusty, steamy or busy rooms with no setting up.

Typically in under 60 seconds from the moment a vape or smoke cloud appears. Each alert includes the location, the type of event and a severity grade.

No, and that is deliberate. VapeSense detects events in the air, never individuals. It tells staff where and when, so they can respond in person.

No. VapeSense only reads the air. There is no camera, microphone, audio or video of any kind.

There is no cloud account and your data stays on site. Units use your normal internet connection for updates and alerts, and need no changes to your firewall.

Everything is encrypted, each sensor is individually secured, only approved sensors can join your system, and remote access is secure without opening your network. We share full security details with your IT team on request.

Role-based access: Admins manage users and updates, IT staff manage sensors and configuration, and teachers or staff get a view-only dashboard and alerts.

Yes. Export your alert history and reports at any time.

Yes. You choose who is alerted for each sensor — for example, the head of girls for the girls’ toilets and the PE team for the changing rooms — so the nearest, most relevant person responds.

By push notification to their phone, tablet or computer, and by email. There is no app-store download, any number of staff devices can be registered, and a built-in test button checks the whole delivery chain.

Yes. Secure remote access is built in, so you can check in from home or a district office with no firewall changes.

Yes. Set active hours and weekly windows, and rest sensors entirely over weekends, half-terms and holidays.

Staff get a tamper alert straight away if anyone opens, covers or removes a sensor — and an alert if a sensor goes offline for any reason.

It is hard-wired to mains power and fitted to the ceiling by a qualified electrician. It uses very little power — under 5 W.

One per enclosed room, covering up to approximately 30 m². Mount it on the ceiling near the centre of the room, at least 1 m from extract fans.

Either. Each unit works on your Wi-Fi or a wired network connection, and Wi-Fi set-up is done from a phone.

Yes. Begin with a single standalone unit, then add a Hub and Satellites as you add rooms — central users, scheduling and updates come with the hub.

Updates are delivered automatically to every sensor. Nobody needs to visit the units.
