Real-time Vape & Air Quality Detection
Fast, easy, and reliable detection of unhealthy behavior in the locations where your school needs them most.
Vape Detector: a real-time vaping and elevated sound incident detection solution and smart alert system that gives you control of areas where you cannot place a camera.
When a sensor detects chemicals from vaping, it sends an immediate, location-specific notification to the computers or mobile devices of one or more designated school officials.

Teen Vaping Statistics
- Youth e-cigarette use rose 1,800% from 2011 to 2019. (Truth Initiative, 2019)
- In 2019, 10.5% of middle school students reported using vaping products within the past month. (CDC, 2019)
- Around 61% of teens who vape do it “to experiment,” 42% because they like the taste, 38% to have a good time, 37% to relieve tension, and 29% to feel good or get high. (Monitoring the Future, 2019)

At ICAS, we want to help protect our youth as much as you do.
Offices
Detect vape and smoke in private offices, restrooms, and lobbies. This benefits employees, employers, and facilities management by creating cleaner air.
Indoor Public Spaces
Vape detectors improve indoor public spaces, such as transportation, by bettering air quality and increasing situational awareness.
Hospitality
Reduce the amount of vape and smoke-related chemicals released into the atmosphere of hotels, restaurants, and more.
LET’S CREATE A VAPE-FREE ENVIRONMENT
- Vape Detector has internal sensor technology to detect if vaping is occurring in a specific location. When detection occurs, a real-time silent message (email and/or text) is sent to one or more subscribers – i.e., a superintendent, principal, security, or designated on-duty official.
- WiFi supporting 2.4 GHz frequency band
- The sensor can also continuously measure current sound levels and detects elevated sound, or noise anomalies, that suggest that something is amiss – such as bullying, fighting, or screaming – that should be investigated.
- Requires a Cat 5 or above Cat 6 cable to connect to your network and a PoE+ cable connection (Power Over Ethernet)
- Accommodates a 10Ft X 10Ft area with an 8Ft ceiling.
- A dashboard allows for real-time sensor data reporting features, analytics, and trend data reports.
Features
- Incident Detection
Smart sensor array detects vaping signatures and decibel level anomalies associated with bullying or fighting in real-time, 24/7. - Alert Notifications
Zero-delay, location-specific alert notifications on vape and sound incidents sent by SMS or email to designated school officials. - Solution Management
Easy to use administrator web portal for school teams to manage devices, customize subscriber schedules, and view alerts. - Performance Optimization
30-day categorized alert history allows devices to learn environments, reduce false positives, and optimize performance. - Insights & Analytics
Real-time sensor data and analytical reports help to determine which locations and time of day experience the most activity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the typical coverage area for vaping?
In general, each FS286 will cover a 10’ x 10’ area.
How many units are required per typical bathroom?
Our starter recommendation is two (2) FS286 devices per bathroom for vape detection.
What are the factors that will impact vaping detection?
Bathroom layout, room ventilation, airflow, and location of the device are key factors. Detection is going to be degraded when vaping is done close to open windows or active ventilation such as exhaust fans.
What type of data cables should be used?
The same data cables are typically used for network hub or switch connectivity. That is standard CAT5 (Category 5) or CAT6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable.
Does the vape detector incorporate a camera or microphone?
No, it does not.
What exactly happens when a vaping or elevated sound alert is triggered?
When a sensor detects sound decibel level anomalies or chemicals from vaping, it sends an immediate, location-specific notification to the devices of designated school officials. This means text messages to one or many folks at the same time.
Why is there an annual software subscription fee after year one?
There is a real and ongoing operational cost associated with providing and maintaining the cloud-based infrastructure that enables real-time alert notifications as well as 24/7 access to the VAPE DETECTOR portal.
