Vape Detection

Capture vape detection events. Take action. Improve health and safety.

By installing specialized vape detection devices, it is possible to closely monitor the air quality for any abnormal compounds emitted from vaping devices. Vape detectors are specifically designed to identify the unique chemical composition of the aerosol vapor released by e-cigarettes. Unlike cigarette smoke, which produces visible smoke and a distinct odor, e-cigarettes emit a virtually odorless aerosol that an ordinary smoke detector can’t detect. This is why it is essential to use specialized vape detection equipment with advanced sensors to detect these aerosol particles and alert users to potential health hazards. By using these detectors, individuals can take proactive measures to protect themselves and others from the potentially harmful effects of vaping.

Studies have shown that vaping products contain ingredients that can impede the development of adolescent brains. Adolescence is crucial in students’ lives as their bodies and minds evolve and adapt until early adulthood. During this stage, students are more prone to making decisions based on emotional or reactive responses rather than logical reasoning, which can lead to risk-taking behavior. If a student gets addicted to drugs, developmental instability increases. Nicotine in vaping products can significantly impact the regions of the brain responsible for concentration, memory, neuroplasticity, and cognitive decision-making. This exposure to toxins can adversely affect students’ learning and overall health, particularly brain development.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can smoke detectors detect vaping?
Smoke detection is designed to detect particles in the air that are indicative of a fire. When tobacco products are burned, they release a combination of particles and chemicals into the air. With e-cigarette use, a nicotine-based liquid vaporizes and produces an aerosolized mixture of particles that do not contain combustion products. In most cases, vapor from a device like this will not set off a smoke alarm. If students blow directly into smoke detectors, they may be able to set them off. But since they are primarily designed to detect fires, school administrators may think these are false positives by the time they investigate. Verkada Air Quality Sensors are designed to detect these chemical changes and alert school administrators right away. If you want to combat vaping in schools, you need a system designed for vape detection specifically.
Can the Vape Detectors be used to detect other things besides vaping?
The Vape Detection system can be used for a variety of applications in schools and commercial buildings, including: Air Quality and Safety Temperature Humidity Noise Detection Motion Sensing
How else can Got Security support school safety?
Vape detection is not the only way that Got Security can help schools. Our vape detectors can also use motion and noise detection to monitor for fights, bullying, and other suspicious activity. Our cameras can be used for perimeter security and to deter crime. In the event of an incident, footage can be used for investigations. Our Air Quality Sensors are designed to be proactive. They detect various changes in the school environment, promptly identifying instances when students are smoking tobacco products or marijuana, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for all. Vape detectors can also monitor air quality for other VOCs (volatile organic compounds) that may be indicative of a gas leak or chemical spill. And they can also monitor temperature and humidity to ensure that classrooms and other areas are safe and comfortable for students and staff.
Where do students usually vape?
Students typically use e-cigarettes and vapes in bathrooms, locker rooms, and hallways. These are areas where they can easily hide their vaping devices and where there is less chance of getting caught. However, indoor spaces like classrooms may also be popular vaping spots. In some cases, students will even vape in the middle of class.
Can students avoid getting caught vaping, even with the Verkada system?
Although Verkada vape detectors can detect vaping in real-time, students may still be able to avoid them. There is no surefire way to prevent students from vaping, but installing the Verkada Air Quality Sensor in middle schools and high schools is a proactive measure that will benefit students' overall health and safety.
How does Our Air Quality Sensor compare to other vape detectors?
Got Security offers a vape detection solution that is natively integrated with their physical security system. This integration provides a more effective approach to detecting vaping incidents and promoting safer environments in schools. Unlike standalone vape detectors, this solution combines vape detection with other security measures, allowing for more holistic security management.
