Solutions / EnviroSentry smart sensor
Vape detection, air quality and occupancy in one ceiling sensor.
EnviroSentry is SchoolCare’s all-in-one smart sensor. It combines AI vape detection, indoor air quality monitoring, presence sensing, smart room control and door and window monitoring in a single ceiling-mounted unit that needs just one network cable. As part of Tempus, its alerts and readings sit alongside the rest of your safety system.

Seven sensing technologies in one sensor
One device instead of separate vape detectors, air quality monitors and occupancy sensors.
Fewer devices on the ceiling means fewer cables, a shorter install and one system to look after, which brings the cost down too.
- CO₂
- Temperature
- Relative humidity
- VOCs
- Particulate matter
- mmWave radar
- Bluetooth location
AI vape detection
Machine learning trained on vaping signatures reads gas, particulate and humidity data together. It tells real vaping apart from everyday changes in the air, which cuts down false alarms.
Indoor air quality monitoring
Continuous CO₂, temperature, relative humidity, VOC and particulate readings. You get a warning when a room needs ventilating, before concentration and comfort suffer.
mmWave presence detection
Radar presence sensing picks up people even when they’re sitting still at a desk, which traditional motion (PIR) sensors miss. That gives you a true picture of which rooms are occupied.
Smart room control
Working with Tempus Manager, empty rooms power down automatically: the interactive display switches off, lights go off through relays, and heating sets back. Everything comes back on when people return. How room control works.
Door and window security
Monitors doors and windows across the site and alerts staff if any are left open after hours. Combined with presence sensing, it gives you a clear picture of site security.
Staff & asset location coverage
Each EnviroSentry also works as a Tempus location receiver. It hears staff alert buttons and equipment tags in the room, so you don’t need extra hardware for that.
Safeguarding, healthy rooms and lower energy bills, from the same sensor.
Tackle vaping in toilets and changing rooms
Staff get an alert the moment vaping is detected, with a confidence level, so they can step in quickly. Vape detection in schools is the main use, but colleges, hospitals, offices and leisure venues face the same problem.
No cameras. No microphones.
EnviroSentry has no camera and no audio capture of any kind. It senses air quality and presence by radar, so it can be fitted in toilets, changing rooms and other private spaces where cameras would never be acceptable.
Better learning and working conditions
High CO₂ makes people drowsy and harder to engage. Ventilation alerts help keep classrooms, wards and meeting rooms fresh all day.
Real energy savings
Rooms that switch off lights, heating and AV when they’re empty stop costing money for no reason.
Smarter use of space
Live and historical occupancy show which rooms are really used, and which are booked but sit empty.
A secure site at the end of the day
Open windows, propped doors and occupied rooms are flagged before the building is locked up.
BETTER TOGETHER
EnviroSentry on its own is smart. As part of Tempus it’s part of your safety system.
- Vape and air quality alerts appear in Tempus Manager next to every other safety alert, and can be emailed to the right people
- CO₂ and temperature readings show on the room’s Tempus display
- Presence and door and window data feed the end-of-day lock-up checklist
- Air quality, CO₂ and temperature appear as live heatmaps on your floor plans, next to door, window and lighting status. See the heatmaps
- Every sensor adds coverage for staff alert and equipment location
- One installation, one network and one support contract for the whole system
