Environmental Monitoring
HALO Smart Sensor
All-in-one IoT environmental detection for schools, healthcare facilities, and commercial buildings. Privacy-first security without cameras.
Privacy-First Environmental Detection
The HALO Smart Sensor by IPVideo Corporation is an all-in-one IoT security and environmental monitoring device designed for areas where cameras are legally or ethically prohibited. HALO uses advanced sensor technology to detect vaping, smoking, THC, air quality issues, gunshots, aggressive behavior, and environmental conditions without capturing video or audio recordings.
Installed in restrooms, locker rooms, private offices, hotel rooms, and other sensitive areas, HALO fills the critical security gap where traditional surveillance cannot be deployed. As a HALO authorized partner, Unio Digital provides professional installation, configuration, and ongoing management of HALO deployments.
- No cameras, no audio recording. Sensor-based detection that respects privacy
- Vape, smoke, and THC detection with particulate analysis
- Air quality monitoring: PM2.5, CO2, CO, NO2, VOCs, temperature, humidity
- Acoustic gunshot detection with instant alert notification
- AI-powered aggression and keyword detection for threat identification
- PoE powered, ceiling-mounted, clean installation with no exposed wiring
DETECTION CAPABILITIES
One sensor, multiple layers of environmental and security detection
Vape & Smoke Detection
Detects vaping (including THC cartridges), cigarette smoke, and marijuana smoke through advanced particulate analysis. Identifies the specific signature of each substance for accurate alerting.
Air Quality Monitoring
Continuously monitors PM2.5 particulates, CO2, carbon monoxide, NO2, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure. Alerts when thresholds are exceeded.
Gunshot Detection
Acoustic gunshot detection identifies the distinct sound signature of firearms discharge and triggers instant alerts to security teams and first responders, enabling rapid emergency response.
Aggression & Keyword Detection
AI-powered audio analytics detect aggressive tones, elevated voices, and configurable keyword alerts such as "help," "fire," or custom trigger words. No audio is recorded, only patterns are analyzed.
Occupancy Monitoring
People counting for space utilization analysis, capacity compliance, and occupancy management. Supports social distancing protocols and helps optimize facility usage without video surveillance.
Chemical Detection
Detects cleaning chemicals, gas leaks, and hazardous substances in the environment. Provides early warning for chemical spills, ammonia exposure, and other airborne threats to occupant safety.
The Privacy Advantage
HALO Smart Sensor uses sensor-based detection that respects privacy while maintaining safety. There are no cameras, no microphones recording conversations, and no video storage. HALO analyzes environmental data and acoustic patterns without capturing identifiable information.
This makes HALO the ideal solution for areas where cameras are legally prohibited or ethically inappropriate, including restrooms, locker rooms, changing areas, patient rooms, hotel rooms, private offices, and counseling spaces. HALO delivers security and environmental intelligence without compromising the privacy rights of occupants.
No Video Capture
HALO contains no camera lens or image sensor. Detection is entirely based on environmental sensors and acoustic pattern analysis.
No Audio Recording
Audio analytics process sound patterns in real time for aggression and keyword detection without recording, storing, or transmitting any audio content.
Compliance Ready
Designed for deployment in privacy-regulated environments. HALO helps organizations maintain safety compliance without introducing surveillance concerns.
IDEAL FOR
HALO Smart Sensor serves a wide range of facilities where environmental monitoring, vape detection, and privacy-preserving security are essential.
Schools (K-12 & Universities)
Vape detection in restrooms and locker rooms, gunshot detection for campus safety, and air quality monitoring for healthy learning environments.
Healthcare Facilities
Patient room monitoring, smoking detection in prohibited areas, air quality compliance, and chemical detection in treatment and storage areas.
Corporate Offices
Indoor air quality monitoring, occupancy analytics for space planning, and vape detection in restrooms and common areas.
Government Buildings
Security monitoring in privacy-sensitive areas, gunshot detection, aggression alerting, and environmental compliance reporting.
Hotels & Hospitality
Smoking and vaping detection in non-smoking rooms, occupancy monitoring, and air quality management for guest satisfaction and compliance.
Correctional Facilities
Contraband smoke and vape detection, chemical detection for hazardous substances, aggression monitoring, and environmental safety compliance.
Platform Integration
HALO Smart Sensor integrates with existing video management systems, access control platforms, and building management systems through open APIs and standard protocols. When a HALO alert triggers, it can automatically pull up associated cameras, lock or unlock doors, and send notifications through your existing security infrastructure.
Unio Digital configures HALO to work seamlessly with Rhombus video surveillance, Avigilon access control, and other platforms already deployed in your facility, creating a unified security and environmental monitoring ecosystem.
- Rhombus video surveillance integration for event correlation
- Avigilon access control integration for automated lockdowns
- Building management system (BMS) connectivity for HVAC and facilities
- Open API for custom integrations and third-party platforms
- Email, SMS, and push notification alerting
