HKC Security has announced its new integration with Takex’s connected Vape Sensor.
Delivering real-time detection of vaping and smoking, the new VS-1000E connected vape sensor features a particle sensor which adapts to environmental conditions to minimise false alarms while maintaining fast detection. It is aimed at areas such as restrooms, corridors and restricted zones, across educational, healthcare and commercial environments where safety, compliance and air quality are crucial.
When connected to the HKC system via an RF transmitter, the sensor enables centralised monitoring and notifications via the SecureComm app. At the same time, integrated audio-visual alerts provide on-site notification when vaping or smoking is detected.
The device offers a low upfront cost with no requirement for additional apps or annual licence fees. Its installation features, including push-fit terminals, twist-lock mounting and daisy-chain wiring, allow for fast and efficient insertion.
Additional features include adjustable sensitivity, configurable alarm outputs, a self-cleaning function and built-in self-diagnostics, plus the solution avoids the privacy concerns often associated with camera-based monitoring
