Why Schools Across Hampshire Trust Vapetech for Vape Detection
Vaping in schools has become a major challenge across the UK, with toilets, corridors, and changing rooms often being hotspots. It impacts student health, disrupts learning, and creates safeguarding concerns for teachers and school leaders. In Hampshire, from Southampton to Portsmouth, Winchester and beyond, more schools are taking proactive steps to tackle this issue.
At Vapetech, we specialise in helping schools address vaping through advanced technology. We’ve chosen to supply and install the Verkada Vape Detector because it offers the most reliable, privacy-friendly, and cost-effective solution for UK schools.
Why Verkada Vape Detection?
The Verkada Vape Detection Sensor is designed specifically to identify vape aerosols in real time. Unlike traditional smoke detectors, which can trigger false alarms from steam or dust, the Verkada sensor is engineered to recognise the chemical signature of vapour.
Key features include:
- Instant alerts — Staff receive notifications on their phone or desktop the moment vaping is detected.
- Data dashboards — Schools can view real-time data, track patterns, and identify problem areas.
- Optional integrations — When paired with CCTV in public spaces (not toilets or changing rooms), Verkada offers AI-powered insights such as person-of-interest tracking, always respecting UK safeguarding standards.
- Reliability — Purpose-built to reduce false positives and deliver accurate detection, every time.
This combination of accuracy, privacy, and usability is why we’ve chosen Verkada Vape Detectors for schools across Hampshire.
