How HALO Smart Sensors Can Reduce Vaping in Schools
Before vaping detectors were available, administrators had to catch students in the act or rely on firsthand accounts from others to address vaping in schools. With HALO Smart Sensor 2C, school officials now receive real-time alerts when a sensor is triggered, increasing the odds of intercepting students hurriedly leaving the vaping location.
Taking it a step further, by integrating the sensors with existing security systems, schools can take a more comprehensive approach. For example, when a HALO Smart Sensor 2C senses THC (the active compound in marijuana) in a restroom, it sends a text message to security team members, who then move toward the location. Meanwhile, security cameras closest to the sensor can be programmed to preserve video beginning two minutes before the sensor is triggered and continuing until five minutes after, allowing the school to identify all individuals entering or exiting the restroom at that time.
As school districts work to reduce student vaping, sensors also offer data and analytics to help administrators identify problem areas and adjust accordingly.
