How does VS-1000E detect vaping?
VS-1000E uses a high-sensitivity particle sensor and advanced algorithms to detect the presence of aerosol particles typically emitted by e-cigarettes and vape devices. It continuously monitors air quality to identify vaping and smoking activities with high accuracy.
Is the vape sensor compliant with school privacy policies?
Yes. VS-1000E is designed with privacy in mind; there are no cameras, microphones, or data collection on individuals. It focuses solely on environmental detection, making it fully compliant with student privacy regulations.
How is this different from camera-based monitoring systems?
Unlike camera-based systems, VS-1000E respects personal privacy and does not record any audio or video. It detects vaping activity based on environmental data, making it a non-invasive and compliant solution for schools and public restrooms.
Can the sensor integrate with existing CCTV or building systems?
Yes. VS-1000E includes a solid-state relay and offers seamless integration with CCTV & building management systems, enabling alerts to be easily routed to security personnel or control rooms.
Where should vape detectors be installed in a school?
Common installation points include restrooms, locker rooms, and other unsupervised areas where vaping typically occurs. The compact and discreet design of VS-1000E allows for flexible ceiling or wall-mounted placement.
Does VS-1000E require an internet connection or cloud service?
No. The device operates completely independently without the need for Wi-Fi, apps, or cloud-based services. This eliminates cybersecurity concerns and simplifies setup.
Can one device cover multiple toilet stalls?
One device is required per toilet stall. However, with support for daisy-chain wiring, you can easily install multiple VS-1000E units across several stalls, ensuring comprehensive coverage and easy expansion as needed.
How do audio-visual alerts work on the device?
VS-1000E features a built-in sounder and LED light that activate when vaping is detected. The immediate local alerts can be used to deter continued use and prompt staff intervention, or can be muted for silent monitoring.
Does the TAKEX Vape Sensor require any software licenses or subscriptions?
No. VS-1000E operates completely license-free. There are no ongoing software subscriptions, app fees, or cloud service costs, making it a cost-effective, low-maintenance solution for long-term deployment.
How does the license-free design benefit schools and facility managers?
The license-free operation eliminates recurring fees and simplifies budgeting. Schools and facility managers can install and operate VS-1000E without worrying about renewals or hidden costs, reducing total cost of ownership over time.
Is VS-1000E covered by a warranty?
VS-1000E includes our 5-year warranty which covers manufacturing defects, component failures, and functional issues under normal usage conditions. It ensures peace of mind and long-term reliability for facility managers and school administrators.
