Whether you choose a wired or wireless model, both are equipped with the same advanced detection technology. This rigorous, reliable tech means you get vape detection you can count on, no matter what kind of setup you're using. Installation is a breeze. Wireless units require "minimal disruption" (so you're not tearing apart the office to get it installed). Wired units make use of your existing infrastructure, so it's easy and straightforward to get them up and running. And all units come with a custom-designed mounting plate that makes the installation part of things a walk in the park.
Quick Installation: Wireless Model Sets Up in Minutes
Setting up Zeptive vape detectors is straightforward and fast, particularly with our wireless models. These detectors require no complicated wiring and have simple, easy-to-install mounting plates. They can be operational in minutes and are designed to be plug-and-play. Their installation creates minimal disruption, and what better than those factors to focus on when ascertaining a safe, healthy environment?
Effortless Deployment for Immediate Protection
Zeptive's wireless vape detectors are designed for rapid deployment, making them the ideal choice for ease of use. Whether outfitting an entire facility or just a single room, the installation process ensures that the detection system is operational with minimal fuss and in no time at all. Perfect for addressing vaping concerns in educational institutions, office buildings, and hospitality spaces, these plug-and-play devices eliminate the need for any kind of technical expertise. The straightforward setup lets you get right to the business of operating the vape detection system.
Flexibility for Any Space, Anytime
The Zeptive design is wireless, and this allows for maximum flexibility. You can place the detectors exactly where they're needed most. You can put them in hard-to-reach areas, like stairwells, or in temporary setups, like event spaces, and the vape detectors will adapt and meld right into the environment.
This makes the Zeptive detector a perfect choice in a pretty wide range of circumstances (and we can't emphasize enough how much we love its versatility). It's a good choice in that its placement is unconstrained by wiring or fixed wall-mounted installations, and can go in any number of places as needs evolve.
A Disruption-Free Safety Solution
Zevent minimizes installation time and complexity, so organizations can continue to operate normally with little to no interruption. No need for major renovations — just put it in place, turn it on, and you have real-time, reliable detection. This is fast and effective, a way to keep safe and be compliant without having any impact on the normal way your organization operates.

Advanced Detection Capabilities
Zeptive vape detectors are equipped with cutting-edge technology to ensure accurate and reliable detection. From vaping to THC and smoke, our devices offer comprehensive monitoring.

Multi-Channel Particle and Chemical Sensors
Our advanced sensors use multi-channel technology to detect fine particles and chemical signatures associated with vaping. This ensures high sensitivity and accuracy, reducing false positives and providing actionable data. Our team has been working in the detection industry for over 20 years, with deep experience designing military-grade detection systems designed for the most challenging environments.
Precision Detection Powered by Advanced Technology
Zeptive’s multi-channel particle and chemical sensors represent the cutting edge in vape detection technology. By analyzing fine particles and chemical signatures with unparalleled accuracy, these sensors deliver precise and reliable results in real time. Whether it’s a single puff or ongoing vaping activity, our sensors are designed to identify and respond to even the subtlest signs of vaping and smoking, ensuring comprehensive protection in all spaces.
Reduced False Positives for Trusted Results
False alarms can undermine the effectiveness of any detection system, which is why Zeptive’s patented multi-channel sensors were engineered from the start to distinguish between vaping-related aerosols and particles versus everyday ambient environmental factors. The multi-channel design allows the system to process and interpret complex data, dramatically reducing false positives. This ensures that Zeptive has the lowest possible false alarm rate, making alerts both credible and actionable. This saves time and resources and maintains trust in your detection system.
Data That Drives Proactive Solutions
More than just detection, Zeptive’s sensors provide detailed, actionable insights into vaping activity. The Zeptive console and apps provide very detailed and organized information about vaping alerts or functional high-level views of your organization’s data using Zeptive’s exclusive “Fleet Insights.” By capturing data on chemical signatures and the presence of certain particles, the system empowers organizations to identify patterns and hotspots. This information can be used to fine-tune prevention strategies, enhance policy enforcement measures, as well as create safer and healthier spaces for everyone.

Optional Noise and Motion Sensors
For greater awareness, Zeptive provides an optional noise and crowd detection feature. This permits more thorough monitoring of areas where people are likely to vape.
Enhanced Oversight for High-Risk Areas
Zeptive offers optional noise sensors and crowd detection that take monitoring to the next level and give a broader view of spaces where vaping may be happening. These features are especially useful in the high-risk areas of school bathrooms, locker rooms, and other private spaces that are just hard to monitor and where sound and crowd detection can help identify places where vaping is more likely. If Zeptive can combine vape detection with crowd and sound monitoring, then it can be said to ensure that no incident goes unnoticed.
Real-Time Context for Better Decision-Making
Providing context to vaping alerts, noise, and crowd sensors aid staff in pattern identification and situational assessment. For example, gatherings could be signaled by unusual motion or sound activity, which might also indicate certain kinds of aggressive or unwanted behaviors (like vaping or bullying). With the help of sensors, organizations could become even more precise in their enforcement.
A Holistic Approach to Safety
Combining noise and crowd sensors with a vape detection system integrates a comprehensive solution customized to your needs. Whether you're dealing with a situation that's in schools or corporate or hospitality settings, these optional features can give you added confidence that you're under control. Using a kind of "modular" approach, Zeptive allows you to cover your space without being unduly invasive.


THC and Smoke Detection
Beyond detecting nicotine vaping, Zeptive units can also identify THC vaping, combustible smoked tobacco and cannabis products, making our detectors invaluable for addressing substance use concerns in schools and workplaces.
Comprehensive Detection for Enhanced Safety
Zeptive’s advanced vape detectors go beyond standard vape detection, offering the ability to identify THC and cigarette smoke in your environment. This expanded capability makes Zeptive an essential tool for addressing substance use concerns in schools, workplaces, and other environments where safety and compliance are paramount. Drawing on our team’s years of experience identifying these types of chemicals, by detecting THC and smoke alongside traditional vaping, our devices provide a comprehensive solution to modern challenges.
Protecting Against a Wider Range of Risks
The ability to identify THC and smoke empowers organizations to tackle more than just nicotine-based vaping. THC detection helps schools and employers combat substance use. Current research shows that if people, including students, are vaping nicotine they also have a high likelihood of vaping THC products as well, which has detrimental effects on brain health. These features ensure that Zeptive units address a broader spectrum of risks, making them invaluable in safeguarding health, compliance, and property.
A Proactive Approach to Substance Use Prevention
With Zeptive’s THC and smoke detection capabilities, you can take a proactive stance against vaping and smoking in restricted areas. Real-time alerts allow for swift intervention, creating a deterrent effect that helps prevent substance use before it escalates. Whether you’re managing a school campus, office building, or other space, Zeptive provides the tools needed to maintain a safe and managed environment.

Indoor Air Quality Monitoring
Zeptive expands beyond detecting e-cigarettes to monitoring overall air quality in indoor spaces. Our sensors monitor for particulate matter and levels of various chemicals, across a range of concentrations and in different forms. This data helps us assess the health of the indoor environment. And we are looking to make that environment much healthier.
Creating Healthier Spaces Through Advanced Monitoring
Zeptive's vape detectors are not only about detecting vaping; they're about fostering safe, secure, and healthier environments. With built-in indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring, our devices track key factors such as particulate matter and chemicals, providing valuable insights into the overall health of your indoor spaces. This dual functionality ensures that Zeptive contributes to wellness as well as compliance.
Proactive Air Quality Insights for Better Decisions
Zeptive, Inc.'s cutting-edge devices continually keep watch over indoor air quality, letting organizations head off potential problems before they become real ones. If there's a ventilation problem, a Zeptive device will let you know. If there's something in the air that's better left out, you and your stakeholders will be informed. And if someone nearby is using a chemical that makes the air unsafe to breathe, you'll get that news too—right when you need it.
A Holistic Solution for Safety and Wellness
Merging air quality surveillance with vape detection provides an all-embracing resolution that underpins safety and health initiatives. A multitude of scientific studies has established that when air quality deteriorates, the performance of employees and/or students plummets. From schools that are trying to establish healthier learning environments, to businesses that are concerned with the well-being of their employees, to hotels that are prioritizing the wellness of their guests, Zeptive can supply the tools that these entities require to go beyond detection and make real, impactful changes to the indoor air quality for which they are responsible.

Flexible Power and Connectivity Options
Vape detectors from Zeptive come with several options for power and connectivity to serve the diverse conditions of vape detector deployments and the unique requirements of your organization.

Extended Battery Life: Months of Operation on a Single Charge
Zeptive is the only company that makes a battery powered vape detector or safety sensor. Our patented wireless detectors are built for efficiency, offering months of use on a single charge. This minimizes maintenance and ensures consistent performance. All of our battery powered detectors come with two long-life rechargeable batteries, which will last for hundreds of charges, enough for the life of your device and much longer.
Long-Lasting, Efficient Power for Reliable Performance and Cost Savings
Zeptive’s wireless vape detectors are engineered for efficiency, delivering months of uninterrupted operation on a single battery charge. This extended battery life ensures consistent performance, even in higher-traffic and hard-to-access locations. Whether installed in school bathrooms, offices, or hospitality spaces, Zeptive patented low-power devices are dramatically more efficient than any competitive product, saving you tens or even hundreds of dollars per year.
Minimized Maintenance, Maximum Convenience
With their extended battery life, Zeptive detectors minimize the need for frequent maintenance. This saves time and resources, allowing staff to focus on more pressing tasks without worrying about constant recharging or replacements. Especially for organizations managing multiple devices across large facilities, this is both cost-effective and convenient.

Wired Power via PoE or Plug-In
Users who want a wired solution can choose from power-over-Ethernet (PoE) or USB options. These ensure consistent power and uninterrupted operation.
Reliable Power for Uninterrupted Operation
Power over Ethernet (PoE) or USB provides the most consistent and reliable connectivity for vape detectors, which is why Zeptive offers these only as wired detectors. This way, your detection system is completely operation 24/7 with no need for battery monitoring. This is especially important in some of the places you might put a vape detector—in high-trust environments, like schools, or high-traffic ones, like transportation hubs.
Seamless Integration with Existing Infrastructure
Zeptive devices can easily be integrated into your current power and network configurations with Power Over Ethernet (PoE) and USB options. Using PoE (which provides both power and data via a single—albeit special—cable) simplifies the installation of your PoE-compatible automotive hardware and software. With USB connectivity, however, your installation can be straightforward, in a variety of places, and without the need of a special wire.
Seamless Integration with Leading Video Management Systems
Zeptive vape detectors integrate smoothly with the video management systems you already have, forming a unified solution for both security and system management.

Real-Time Alerts Delivered Through Your Existing Video Management System
Our detectors generate instantaneous alerts, which are sent directly to your VMS. With this close coupling of technologies, when and if a real-time decision needs to be made on the site at which the detectors are installed, the VMS is the best place to receive and execute that order. Zeptive vape detectors work seamlessly with your existing Video Management System (VMS), providing real-time alerts straight to your security interface. The direct integration with your current systems allows your security team to act immediately upon detection, enhancing not only response times but also the level of safety. Notifications are funneled into a single, easy-to-monitor platform, making everything streamlined and straightforward. Zepte detectors not only alert you to the presence of a VMS but also to the use of a noxious substance in a zone. This is alerting that VMS security teams in schools, places of business, and public spaces can use to protect themselves from the threats associated with vaping. Organizations are empowered by real-time notifications to address not just the potential vaping incidents still in progress that our notifications can warn them about but also any disturbances that might be caused by a large group of students gathering and not being compliant with our safety policies. And all of this is made possible by Zeptive's seamless integration with your existing video management system (VMS). No complex software setups. No extra training. Just compliance reinforcement and a more effective, more efficient security operation.

Integration with Hanwha, Milestone, Genetec, and More
Zeptive works seamlessly with leading platforms including
Genetec, Axis Communications, Milestone, Qognify, Hanwha, Avigilon, Hanwha, Milestone, Digital Watchdog and i-PRO and many more. See below for a more comprehensive list.

Zeptive is the next generation in vape detection that combines the power of modern videography with the safety of vape-free zones. By working with your video management system, Zeptive creates a unified interface for monitoring, reviewing, and managing incidents in vape detecting security operations. This is the first vape safety solution that provides a direct line of sight into vaping incidents that occur in your facility.
Efficiency Through Centralized Monitoring
By integrating vape detection and video feeds into a single platform, Zeptive boosts situational awareness and decision-making. Security teams can now correlate vaping alerts with visual evidence in real time, giving them an all-important context for understanding incidents as they're happening. This win-win for time and accuracy means that when serious events do occur, responses are more likely to be effective.
A Smarter Way to Manage Safety
Zeptive's integration capacities stretch well beyond making the operation run smoothly—they make it possible for organizations to achieve safety and security as a baseline. From deciphering where the most awful vaping is going on to dealing with things right when they happen (which I had to do once at summer camp, much to my chagrin), this system's got the working tools to make a facility safer at a lower friction (meaning better efficiency). Schools, offices, and all kinds of public spaces can use Zeptive to make safety and security work better for the people in them.

Customizable Alert Settings and Sensitivity Controls
There are two main ways to fine-tune your sensor and alert system. One is to adjust the sensitivity levels of the sensors themselves. The other is to adjust the alerts and notifications generated by the smart home system when it detects certain specified events.
Tailored Detection for Your Unique Environment
Zeptive allows you to set alerts and sensitivity levels to put you in control of the monitoring system. School hallways can be busy spaces, and office spaces can be almost silent. That means monitoring must be accurate and fit the environment to ensure that the detection levels and alert preferences meet the needs of those specific environments. Zeptive can do that. It allows for fine-tuning in exactly the problem areas where you need to ensure a proper fit.
Precision Detection, Minimal Disruption
Adjusting sensitivity levels helps strike the perfect balance between comprehensive detection and avoiding unnecessary disruptions. Zeptive’s flexibility allows you to minimize false alarms without compromising on the system’s ability to detect real incidents. This adaptability is essential for maintaining efficiency and trust in your vape detection efforts.
Empower Your Team with Configurable Alerts
Tailored alert configurations guarantee that suitable personnel receive suitable messages at suitably timed moments. Specify who gets word of what, and choose from an array of options that dictate how the alerts are delivered—by email, SMS, or app. This kind of control not only makes your monitoring system more effective, but also allows sharper focus on the responses that such messages will prompt.

Web Dashboard and Mobile App for Alerts, Notifications, and System Management
You have full control over your system with Zeptive's easy-to-use dashboard and app. It allows you to manage alerts, adjust settings, and do everything else you need to do with total convenience.
Complete Control at Your Fingertips
Managing your vape detection system is a breeze with Zeptive. Monitors, alerts, notifications, and settings are all just a click away—whether you're sitting at a desk or walking around your facility. The user interface is so friendly, in fact, that the Zeptive team recently rolled out an update called Fleet Insights to make your vape detection system's dashboard even easier to read from top to bottom and pull information from side to side. Fleet Insights puts just about any historical or actionable information necessary for making vape detection system management decisions in the main views of your dashboard and app.
Streamlined Management for Maximum Efficiency<
The dashboard and app have an easy-to-understand design that lets you navigate effortlessly as you manage several different devices. You can see live data from all your devices, set up alerts just the way you want them, and monitor what's been happening over time—all from one platform. This is some serious "stay-informed, stay-in-control" stuff that also happens to be quite user-friendly.
Stay Connected Anytime, Anywhere
Zeptive's amazing mobile application guarantees that you are in continual contact with your system. It provides instantaneous notifications and actionable insights no matter where you are in the world. Whether you are in China or Canada, the app makes it possible for you to stay in touch with your vape detection network.

Trusted by Organizations Worldwide
Zeptive’s vape detectors, include our enterprise starter kit, are relied upon by schools, workplaces, and hospitality venues across North America and worldwide.

Schools and Educational Institutions
Actively address vaping problems to safeguard student well-being and reinforce school policy.
Creating Healthier Learning Environments
Zeptive’s vape detection systems are tailored to assist schools and educational institutions in keeping their environments safe and healthy. Our solutions, addressing vaping in a proactive manner, enable the well-being of students to be at the forefront. The kinds of spaces those solutions help to create are conducive to learning, which is what these institutions are about. It's also relevant, I think, that Zeptive talks about its products and these environments in which the products are used in an almost aspirational way.
Reinforcing School Policies with Reliable Detection
Real-time alerting with Zeptive advanced vape detectors lets school staff know when and where students are vaping—in just about any size space, from classrooms to restrooms. Because most vaping devices are designed to look like something else, these detectors aren't looking for devices. They're looking for a way of life that upholds the school's safety and compliance culture.
Proactive Solutions for Long-Term Impact
Zeptive is more than just a detection system; it is a comprehensive, behavior-altering tool that helps schools become healthier places for students and staff. This tool helps monitor not only what is happening right now on a campus but also what is trending. With this kind of evidence, a school can understand better and create a way to make the whole campus a more vape-free place because it is well within the _vape_ and _vaping_ range of the kinds of behaviors that are alterable.

Workplaces and Corporate Environments
Enhance workplace safety and compliance while reducing liability risks associated with vaping.
Fostering Safer, Healthier Workplaces
Zeptive’s vape detection systems are tailored to meet the unique needs of business environments, helping organizations maintain a safe and professional atmosphere. By addressing vaping proactively, our solutions support employee health, reduce distractions, and promote a clean, compliant workplace.
Minimize Risks and Ensure Compliance
With Zeptive, employers can enhance compliance with workplace policies and reduce liability risks associated with vaping substances that are not suitable for use in the workplace such as THC or illicit drugs. Real-time alerts enable swift action, preventing vaping-related incidents that could compromise safety or violate regulations. From offices to breakrooms, our detectors ensure consistent oversight across all areas.
Protect Your Reputation and Productivity
A vape-free and smoke-free workplace not only supports employee well-being, but also upholds the professional image of your organization. Zeptive provides the tools needed to deter vaping behaviors while maintaining a positive, productive environment. By investing in proactive monitoring, businesses can safeguard their workforce and their reputation simultaneously.

Hotels, Resorts, Hospitality Settings, and Short-Term Rentals
Enhancing guest experiences means minimizing vaping-related maintenance and providing a smoke-free environment. As we learned from our vaping study, we still have a lot to learn about e-cigarettes and vaping in general.
Elevating Guest Experiences with Smoke-Free Spaces
The vaping detection systems from Zeptive are an invaluable asset for the hospitality industry—from hotels to short-term rentals—to keep the environments truly pleasant and welcoming for guests. The systems help "proactively address" not only vaping but also smoking and the maintenance issues they can lead to, like odors and stains.
Protect Your Property and Reputation
A key component for service providers in maintaining the standard of excellence required for favorable reviews and ratings is ensuring a smoke-free environment. This is to say that smoked-out rooms tend to become high-priced regret rooms for guests on account of those smoky rooms not showing up on Airbnb, VRBO, or Booking.com when potential guests do a search. Thus, smoke detectors are a must. Not all smoke detectors are created equal, however. Zeptive smoke detectors are far superior to smoke detectors from other companies. Here's why.
Enhance Trust and Compliance Across Rentals
In short-term rental properties, it is essential to ensure a smoke-free environment to create a sense of trust with guests and comply with local regulations. Zeptive’s vape detectors are perfectly suited for these kinds of places. They install easily, perform reliably, and allow property owners to prioritize clean, vape-free spaces. That leads to better guest experiences, not to mention it protects the investment and the reputation of the property owner.
Detector excessive noise, parties, and more
Zeptive’s sensors don’t only find vaping and smoking. They are designed to guarantee a disruption-free environment for your neighbors. All while protecting your property investment. Get notified of any potential problems at your location, almost instantly and very accurately.
The Vaping Problem
Vaping poses unique challenges for different sectors. Zeptive provides targeted solutions for these issues.

School Student Health
Address vaping-related health risks and support students in reducing vape.
Supporting Student Health and Well-Being
Vaping poses a serious public health risk for our youth, and health experts across the country are working to find effective solutions. Zeptive's systems help schools play an active role in this problem-solving process. Zeptive system detects a vaporization event, specifically when e-liquid is converted to aerosol, and sounds a loud, attention-grabbing alarm. This is both to alert as many people as possible that this conversion event is happening and to also dissuade the not-yet-deterred student inside the bathroom from using a vaping device.
Encouraging Positive Behavioral Change
Zepteve moves to the next step in the detection and deterrence of vaping—helping schools build awareness and accountability around this issue. By using Zeptive to hone in on the specifics of vaping in their environments, schools can start to craft the kinds of precision strategies we were just discussing—awareness strategies, if you will. Schools can use this information to start the kinds of conversations that can lead both to heightened awareness on the part of students and to the kinds of healthier choices and changes in behavior that we want.
A Commitment to Long-Term Wellness
When schools incorporate vape detection into their overall health and safety strategies, they show that they are really committed to protecting students from the harmful effects of vaping. That is what Zeptive is all about—empowering educators and administrators to take action so that campuses can be here's much less chance of focusing on vaping as a learning and personal growth distraction.

Workplace Safety and Reduced Liability
Protect employees while maintaining compliance with workplace health and safety regulations.
Promoting a Safer Workplace for Everyone
Zeptive’s vape detection systems are a key component in ensuring workplace safety by proactively addressing vaping-related concerns. Employees who are vaping, especially if it is THC or illicit drugs, are hazardous to themselves and others in the workplace. Operating machinery safely and making critical decisions correctly are critical business operations and processes that determine your company’s reputation. By monitoring and deterring vaping activity, employers can protect employees from potential health risks, maintain a clean work environment, and foster a culture of safety and respect.
Ensure Compliance and Minimize Liability
Workplace health and safety regulations often require environments to be free from smoking and vaping. Zeptive’s solutions help organizations stay compliant with these standards, reducing the risk of legal or regulatory consequences. Real-time alerts allow for swift action, helping to prevent incidents that could lead to liability or reputational damage.
Safeguard Productivity and Professionalism

How can you detect if someone is vaping?
Detecting vaping can be challenging without the right tools, but advanced vape detectors make it possible. Zeptive vape detectors use multi-channel sensors to identify the particle and chemical signatures released during vaping. These devices are specifically designed to detect vape aerosol (i.e. vape "smoke") from e-cigarettes, including nicotine and THC, in real time.
By monitoring the air for changes caused by vaping, Zeptive detectors can pinpoint when and where vaping occurs. Real-time alerts, sent via email, SMS, or mobile app, allow staff to respond quickly to incidents. Combined with optional features like noise and motion sensors, Zeptive’s technology provides a comprehensive solution for detecting vaping in schools, workplaces, and other restricted areas.
What do vape detectors detect?
Vape detectors detect particle and chemical signatures released during vaping. Zeptive’s advanced sensors identify:
- Nicotine vape "smoke" from e-cigarettes and vapes.
- THC vape "smoke" from cannabis-related devices.
- Smoke from traditional cigarettes or similar sources.
What do vape detectors look like?
Vape detectors are devices that mount on the wall or ceiling with specially designed inlets on the side or front of the device to allow air in for continuous monitoring and testing.
Zeptive vape detectors come with an optional stainless steel protective cage that surrounds the device and attaches to the mounting plate.
Zeptive’s detectors are built to provide reliable performance without drawing unwanted attention.
What are the alternatives to vape detectors?
Although the Zeptive devices are the most reliable for determining when someone is vaping, there are alternatives, including:
- Manual Monitoring: Staff or security personnel physically checking high-risk areas.
- Video Surveillance: Cameras can monitor behavior but cannot detect smoking or vaping.
- Student or Employee Reporting: Relying on individuals to report vaping incidents.
Advanced Questions
How far can vape detectors detect?
Vape detectors vary in their capabilities depending on the environment and sensitivity settings. Zeptive’s state-of-the-art vape detectors work by monitoring the air in an area for the telltale clues that indicate vaping is happening. Each unit on its own will cover an indoor space—like a bathroom, for instance—up to 12 x 12 square feet. Factors that can cause variation include the following:
- Airflow and Ventilation: Locations that have strong airflow or movement of air may disperse vape aerosol much more quickly than still air. This results in the effective detection distance of vape aerosol being reduced. Places where there is a lot of air movement or dispersal may have a detection distance of a few feet.
- When ceilings are at a height, detectors are normally put on the wall in a space so that coverage can be ensured.
- Sensitivity Adjustments: Users of Zeptive can tailor detection sensitivity to the exact conditions of their environment. This means that the service can monitor the situation with near-total assurance of its accuracy—near-total, because in all such systems there are bound to be some false positives and some missed incidents. Zeptive claims that its false-positive rate is lower than that of its competitors.
How accurate are vape detectors?
Vape detectors that are well designed, like Zeptive's, are extremely accurate for identifying when someone is vaping. Zeptive detectors use multi-channel sensors to analyze the fine particles and chemical signatures that are only associated with vaping. This technology allows us to hone in on what we want to detect and eliminates the missed calls and false positives all too often associated with other vaping detectors. Key features that contribute to Zeptive’s accuracy include:
- Next-Gen Sensor Tech: This advanced sensor is designed to find extremely small amounts of vape aerosol, making it work extremely reliably.
- Controls for Sensitivity: These can be set to different levels to allow for different kinds of detection, depending on the environment. They make it possible to get a signal without the problem of false alarms.
- Zeptive uses a multi-channel airborne particle detection system that can see through the dust, aerosols, or other environmental factors that are a part of our everyday lives. This reduces false positives and allows the system to do what it is meant to do: detect vaping.
What types of events set off a vape detector?
Vaping and similar activities create identifiable airborne events, and that's what Zeptive's vape detectors are designed to catch. The company's advanced sensors analyze the air for fine particles and chemical signatures that accurately indicate emissions from a vape pen. The most common events that can set off a vape detector include:
- Nicotine in Vape Form: E-cigarettes, vapes, or similar devices that contain nicotine.
- THC and the byproducts of cannabis vaping produce very distinctive aerial signatures.
- Smoke: Conventional cigarettes or other smoke-producing items will set off the sensors.
Can someone avoid a vape detector?
Evading a vape detector is challenging because of the precise technology in today's detection systems, such as Zeptive. Zeptive sensors are used for detecting the activity of vaping. It is a modern, advanced technology and is over 1,000 times more sensitive than a smoke detector. Our smoke detectors are designed specifically for detecting the kind of particles and chemicals that vaping releases, such as nicotine and THC. Clever attempts to avoid detection will not work with Zeptive detectors. Here’s why avoiding Zeptive vape detectors is challenging:
- Vape emissions disperse rapidly in the air, and Zeptive's multi-channel sensors are sensitive enough to pick up even the small amounts of exhaled vape aerosol that one might equate to vape "smoke" or vapor.
- Strategic Placement: Detectors are placed in the most important places — like restrooms, classrooms, and offices — to keep an eye on the most dangerous spots.
- Immediate Notifications: As soon as vaping is detected, immediate notifications are dispatched, empowering staff to act fast and diminish the chances of the behavior happening again.
How many detectors do I need?
How many vape detectors you need depends on the dimensions, arrangement, and particular requirements of your space. The vape detection systems from Zeptive are designed to provide flexible coverage, with accurate monitoring in those areas where you really want to know "Are they vaping?" Here are some general guidelines to determine the number of detectors required:
- Unit Coverage: Each Zeptive unit usually spans a 12x12 foot area in an enclosed space. That means it can serve places like bathrooms, hotel rooms, classrooms, or offices of that size, or somewhat larger.
- Install detectors in areas where vaping often occurs, like restrooms, locker rooms, stairwells, and other spaces with less supervision.
- Bathroomt: The number of bathrooms or critical zones dictates how many sensors need to be put in. They are placed in close proximity to the source so that it can be more accurately reading the state of the room.
- Airflow and Ventilation: Where there is strong airflow or ventilation, multiple detectors should be spaced so as to account for the dispersion of the exhaled vape micro-particles and gasses.
Do detectors produce false alarms?
Vape detectors are the most sophisticated detectors available. They use AI and machine learning to deliver accurate and reliable results while minimizing false alarms. The vape detection technology used in Zeptive's vape detectors is unparalleled in the industry. Our advanced multi-channel sensors detect the specific particle and chemical signatures that are associated with vaping. Key features that help prevent false alarms include:
- Multi-Channel Technology: Zeptive’s detectors analyze thousands of data points to tell vaping emissions apart from everyday airborne particles such as dust, humidity, or aerosols.
- Adjustable Sensitivity: Users can fine-tune sensitivity settings to the unique specifications of their environments, ensuring precision detection in both high and low traffic areas.
- Environmental Filtering: Zeptive's technology is set to specifically ignore typical triggers that are not vape-related and to perform dependably without giving false positives.
