Privacy-first vape detection built for Australian schools, boarding houses, hotels and accommodation providers. Meet the Sentinel S1 vape detector — six sensors, one unit. Spin it, tap the sensor points.
Detects the aerosol particle cloud a vape produces — the primary detection signal.
⚡ The moment a vape cloud forms, PM2.5 spikes within seconds.
Detectors, cameras, alarms and entry — all managed from a single dashboard, all backed by the same Australian support team.
The Apex Sentinel S1: a six-sensor ceiling-mounted detector for bathrooms, dorms, guest rooms, changerooms and common areas. Real-time alerts to your staff in under 30 seconds — no cameras, no audio recording, no identifying individuals. Just air quality.
Smart 8MP cameras for the places cameras do belong — corridors, common areas and site perimeters. AI-powered person and motion detection, feeding the same dashboard as your detectors.
Site-wide smart alarms integrated with your detection network — so a vape alert, an after-hours entry or a tamper event all reach the right staff member, instantly.
Controlled entry for boarding houses, accommodation and admin buildings. See, speak to, and admit visitors from the same platform your team already uses every day.
In the spaces where people live, sleep and change — bathrooms, dorms, guest rooms, changerooms — cameras and audio recording don't belong. Legally, ethically, or in line with contemporary safeguarding standards.
The detector tells you "vape detected here" — never "Jane did it."
Technology that respects the trust boarding houses and accommodation providers are built on. Multi-tenant admin, per-building structure, and staff-level access controls come as standard — because these are 24/7 environments and rosters actually run that way.
