Vape and Smoke Detection for Schools
Vaping in school bathrooms and common areas is a growing concern for schools across Australia. Traditional smoke detectors aren’t designed to detect vape aerosols, leaving schools without an effective way to identify and respond to vaping incidents. Computer Alliance supplies and installs purpose-built vape and smoke detection sensors that help schools enforce policies, protect student health, and maintain a safe campus environment.
How Vape Detection Sensors Work
Our vape and smoke detection sensors are network-connected devices installed in bathrooms, change rooms, and other unsupervised areas where vaping is most likely to occur. When the sensor detects vape aerosol or smoke particles in the air, it triggers a built-in audible alarm to deter the behaviour and sends a real-time notification to designated staff members.
This immediate alert allows teachers, wellbeing staff, or administration to respond quickly, identify patterns, and address the issue before it escalates.
Key Features
Real-Time Alerts
Notifications are sent instantly to nominated administrators via email, SMS, or app notification when a detection event occurs. Staff can respond promptly without needing to constantly monitor the area.
Built-In Deterrent Alarm
The sensor’s audible alarm activates when vaping or smoking is detected, providing an immediate deterrent to students and signalling that the behaviour has been identified.
Network-Connected
Sensors connect to your school’s existing network and can be managed centrally. Detection events are logged for reporting and trend analysis, helping schools understand the scale of the issue and measure the effectiveness of their response.
Discreet Installation
Sensors are compact and installed discreetly to blend into the environment. They are designed to detect, not surveil – there are no cameras or audio recording capabilities.
Compliance and Duty of Care
Schools have a duty of care to provide a safe environment for students. Vape and smoke detection technology supports this obligation by providing a proactive, technology-enabled approach to policy enforcement. Detection data can also support conversations with parents and caregivers and inform whole-school wellbeing strategies.
Installation and Support
Our technicians handle installation, network configuration, alert setup, and testing. We ensure sensors are positioned for optimal detection and that your team is trained to manage notifications and respond to events.
