Vape Detection, Alerts, and Compliance Reports

Vaping in K-12 schools has reached epidemic proportions, creating serious health risks for students while placing administrators under growing pressure to detect and deter incidents. The challenge is compounded by the fact that vaping occurs most frequently in restrooms, locker rooms, stairwells, and other low-traffic areas where privacy regulations prohibit the use of cameras, leaving safety staff with no reliable way to monitor these spaces in real time. The Swift Sensors Vape Detection Sensor was built to close this gap. Deployable in any camera-restricted area, the Vape Detection Sensor continuously monitors for the presence of vape aerosols while also detecting tamper attempts, giving safety and security personnel the comprehensive, around-the-clock visibility they need to proactively enforce a healthy, vape-free environment for every student.

Beyond detection, many schools struggle to document incidents in a way that supports disciplinary action, satisfies board accountability requirements, or demonstrates meaningful enforcement to parents and regulators. The Swift Sensors Cloud Console directly addresses this need by providing a centralized monitoring, alerts, and reporting platform accessible from any device. The moment vaping is detected, instant mobile alerts are pushed to safety officers, enabling immediate intervention before situations escalate. Over time, the Cloud Console tracks event trends across all monitored locations, identifies behavioral patterns, and generates detailed compliance reports—giving administrators the documented evidence they need to enforce policy, engage families, and meet regulatory obligations with confidence.

FAQ

A Swift Sensors system requires the purchase of at least one gateway, at least one sensor, and a monitoring plan.

  • We offer over 30 types of wireless sensors. Each sensor is smaller than a credit card and has battery life of 6-8 years. The sensor transmits data via Bluetooth 5 (BLE5) and connects to the gateway with a push of a button.
  • The gateway receives data from each sensor and then transmits the data to the cloud console via local ethernet, WiFi, or cellular network (optional module). Each gateway supports up to 150 sensors within a 500 foot radius.
  • The monitoring plan is very simple. The fee is based on the number of sensors you deploy. You can pay monthly, annually, or multi-year. There are no contracts required. View real-time analytics, download compliance reports, and receive instant mobile alerts on any device.

The sensor range is generally 500 ft (150 m) depending on the facility infrastructure and equipment located between the sensor and the gateway. The sensors use the BLE5 wireless communication protocol which allows signal transmission through doors and walls constructed of standard building materials.

Each sensor uses two AAA lithium polymer batteries with an average lifespan of 6-8 years.  Replacement batteries are readily available at hardware stores and various retail locations.

The monitoring plan is very simple. The fee is based on the number of sensors you deploy. You can pay monthly, annually, or multi-year. There are no contracts required.

The Swift Sensors Console is a robust cloud-based monitoring, alerts, and reporting platform viewable remotely on any device. The Console is used for hardware setup and system configuration. The Console presents analytics that provide trend analysis, historical documentation, compliance reporting, and deep insights into equipment performance, facility operations, and environmental conditions. The platform is customizable and adaptable to any industry with unparalleled ability to search, filter, sort and view critical measurement and performance data. Configurable instant alerts enable immediate corrective actions when significant events occur. Alerts can be sent to individuals or groups via SMS text, email, or voice.

The Swift Sensors monitoring, alerts, and reporting platform was developed and is maintained by industry experts with extensive experience in network security. Sensor to gateway communication utilizes BLE5 and 128-bit AES encryption. Gateway to cloud Console communication utilizes ethernet, WiFi, or cellular (optional module) and 256-bit AES encryption. Data is securely transmitted over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) on port 443. The Swift Sensor network does not allow any outside communication. As a result, the Swift Sensor network is incredibly secure.

Swift Sensors only communicate with Swift Sensors gateways. Swift Sensors gateways only communicate with the Swift Sensors Console. The Swift Sensor network does not allow any outside communication. As a result, the Swift Sensor network is incredibly secure. The Swift Sensor Console, however, features a robust API which can be utilized to communicate with 3rd-party applications.
