Vape Detection in Schools
Tackle vaping and improve air quality across your school with the EnviroSentry Smart Sensor platform. SchoolCare provides an intelligent, all-in-one monitoring solution that combines AI-powered vape detection, air quality tracking, presence sensing, and smart classroom automation in a single ceiling-mounted device.
7 Technologies in One Sensor
The EnviroSentry Smart Sensor is a ceiling-mounted, PoE-powered device designed specifically for UK schools. It combines multiple monitoring technologies into a single unit, eliminating the need for separate systems and reducing infrastructure costs. All data is stored locally on your school network with no cloud dependency, ensuring full GDPR compliance and complete data ownership.
AI Vape Detection
Machine learning algorithms trained on vaping signatures analyse gas, particulate, and humidity sensor data to distinguish vaping from normal environmental changes with high accuracy, reducing false positives.
Air Quality Monitoring
Real-time tracking of CO2, PM2.5, NOx, VOCs, temperature, and humidity. Alerts staff when CO2 levels exceed thresholds that impact student concentration and academic performance.
mmWave Presence Detection
Advanced radar technology detects occupancy including stationary individuals at desks, unlike traditional PIR sensors. Enables real-time building occupancy visualisation and smart room management.
BLE Staff Tracking
Bluetooth Low Energy fobs and badges provide real-time staff location tracking with an emergency SOS button that sends precise location data to designated responders instantly.
Smart Classroom Control
Automates lighting, HVAC, and AV systems based on room occupancy. Empty rooms power down automatically, reducing energy waste while maintaining comfortable learning environments.
Security Monitoring
Monitors doors and windows throughout the site, alerting staff if they are left open after hours. Combined with presence detection for comprehensive site security awareness.
Intelligent Detection Process
1. Continuous Monitoring
Gas, particulate, and humidity sensors continuously sample the air in high-risk areas including toilets, changing rooms, and secluded corridors.
2. AI Analysis
Machine learning algorithms analyse sensor data in real time, distinguishing vaping aerosols from normal environmental changes such as cleaning products or steam.
3. Instant Alerting
Real-time notifications are sent to designated staff via the dashboard, SMS, or email, complete with location, timestamp, and confidence scoring.
4. Log & Learn
Historical logging enables the AI model to adapt to each school environment over time. Data supports safeguarding investigations with location-tagged audit trails.
Infrastructure & Data
PoE Powered
Single Power-over-Ethernet cable per sensor provides both power and data connectivity. No batteries to replace, no additional wiring required.
Local Data Storage
All data is hosted locally on your school network with no cloud dependency and no recurring storage fees. Your data stays on your premises at all times.
GDPR Compliant
Designed with privacy at its core. No personal data is collected or stored externally. The system detects behaviours, not individuals, supporting your safeguarding obligations.
Real-Time Monitoring Dashboard
The EnviroSentry dashboard provides a comprehensive real-time view of your entire school environment. Monitor air quality metrics, vape detection alerts with confidence levels, room occupancy status, climate control systems, and door and window states, all from a single, intuitive interface accessible to authorised staff.
