Abstract

A sensor system for identifying vaping, other smoking activities, and bullying at a site includes an air quality sensor configured to detect air quality, a sound detector configured to detect sounds, and a network interface configured to transmit a signal indicating abnormality matching signature of vaping, other smoking activity, or sound of bullying. Vaping or another smoking activity is identified based on the detected air quality, and bullying is identified based on the detected sound.

Abstract

Systems and sensors for detecting vaping or smoking are disclosed. A sensor system for identifying vaping and smoking at a site includes an air sensor located within a return vent of a ventilation system and configured to sense air quality of air conveyed through the return vent, a controller configured to identify vaping and smoking from the sensed air quality based on an air signature, and a network interface configured to communicate an alert indicating the vaping or smoking, when the vaping or smoking is identified.
