Vaping happens where nobody is watching
Bathrooms, change rooms, stairwells and car parks are where vaping and other incidents happen, and they are exactly where cameras aren’t appropriate.
1
Schools
Students vaping in toilets, change rooms and quiet corners, with staff unable to supervise.
2
Apartment buildings
Residents or visitors vaping in stairwells, lifts and car parks against owners corporation rules.
3
Workplaces and venues
Staff and guests vaping or smoking in bathrooms and back-of-house areas.
4
Aged care and healthcare
Keeping residents and patients safe in private spaces without cameras.
More than a vape detector
A single Halo sensor covers vaping, safety and environmental monitoring.
Vaping and smoking
Detects vaping, including THC vapes, and smoking, so staff can respond while it is happening.
Abnormal sound
Alerts on sounds such as yelling or aggressive behaviour, and on spoken keywords for help, without recording audio.
Air quality
Monitors air quality, particulates, gases and chemicals, with alerts when levels are unsafe.
Temperature and humidity
Tracks conditions that lead to mould, discomfort or equipment problems.
Tamper alerts
Notifies staff if someone tries to cover, move or interfere with the sensor.
Alerts and reporting
Real-time notifications to the right people, plus history to spot patterns and hotspots.
Doing it properly
Placement, alerts and privacy, planned from the start
- Site review first: we identify the hotspots and the right number and position of sensors.
- Privacy by design: the sensor has no camera and doesn’t record conversations, so it suits bathrooms and other private areas.
- Alerts that reach the right person, by SMS, email or app, with rules for times of day and areas.
- Integration with CCTV, access control and building networks where it helps staff respond faster.
- Clear expectations: Halo supports supervision and policy enforcement. It is not a replacement for certified smoke or fire detection.

Common questions about Halo sensors
Does the Halo sensor record video or audio?
No. It has no camera, and it analyses sound for alerts without recording conversations, which is why it can be used in bathrooms and change rooms.
Can it tell the difference between vaping and aerosols like deodorant?
Halo is designed to detect vape and smoke signatures specifically. We fine-tune sensitivity during commissioning to reduce false alerts in each space.
What happens if someone covers or damages it?
Tamper alerts notify staff when the sensor is covered, moved or interfered with.
Does it replace our smoke alarms?
No. Halo is a monitoring and alerting device. Your certified smoke and fire detection stays in place.
Is there an ongoing cost?
Depending on how alerts and reporting are managed, there may be a software or cloud subscription. We set out any ongoing costs clearly in the quote.
