Designed for new construction, renovations, and facilities equipped for hardwired installations. The Zeptive Wired Detector leverages your existing PoE infrastructure to deliver always-on protection with zero battery maintenance. One cable handles both power and data for a truly "set and forget" solution.
Zeptive delivers the most advanced vape detection technology available today with dual-sensor precision, real-time alerts, and intelligent cloud dashboards. It provides customizable settings paired with secure and tamper-resistant hardware. Zeptive doesn’t just detect, it empowers organizations to act with confidence and data-driven insight.
The Challenge: For large districts and modern facilities, adding hundreds of devices can create a maintenance burden if not managed correctly. When you have accessible drop ceilings or are already pulling cable for cameras and access points, you need a detection solution that integrates directly into that workflow—eliminating the need for future battery checks.

1. Sense (Continuous Monitoring)
The multi-sensor unit continuously monitors air quality using precision algorithms that distinguish between vaping (THC/Nicotine) from the ambient air environment.
2. Transmit (Wired Ethernet)
Upon detection, the unit transmits data instantly via your secure wired LAN. It functions as a standard PoE client, ensuring low latency and high reliability without utilizing WiFi spectrum.
3. Alert (Real-Time Intervention)
Designated staff receive instant notifications via the Zeptive App, text, or email for discreet or audible intervention.
-
Principal/AP: Receive alerts for discipline and intervention.
-
Security/School Resource Officer (SRO): Monitor security and safety incidents.
-
IT or Facilities Staff: Maintain oversight of facility health and trends.
-
-
Precision Sensor Technology: Our algorithms distinguish between vaping (nicotine/THC), masking agents (air fresheners, cologne, etc.), and the background environment, significantly reducing false positives.
-
Tamper-Resistant Hardware: Designed for the reality of unsupervised environments. The unit features a wire cage option, and integrated tamper and proximity alarms to deter vandalism.
-
Audible or Silent Alarms: Customize your response. Choose a silent alert for administrative intervention or an onboard buzzer to deter vaping immediately.
-
Single-Cable Efficiency: Utilizes Power over Ethernet (PoE) to deliver both electricity and data connectivity through a single Ethernet cable, for easy installation.
-
Zero Maintenance Lifecycle: Once installed, the unit requires no physical upkeep for power, making it perfect for high-ceiling installations or large-scale district deployments.

Wifi + battery Model You are here
Does this model require batteries?
No. This model is powered exclusively via Power over Ethernet (PoE). It draws power from your network switch, meaning there are no batteries to charge or replace, ever.
What kind of cabling do I need?
The Zeptive Wired Detector works with standard CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cables. It connects via a standard RJ45 port on the back of the unit.
Is it difficult to install?
Installation is standard for any network endpoint. It typically requires running a cable to the location (drop ceiling or hard ceiling) and mounting the backplate. If cabling is already present, installation takes minutes.
Can I use this on a non-PoE switch?
To power the unit, you must have a PoE-enabled switch or use a PoE injector (sold separately) if your switch does not support PoE. Alternatively, the unit may be powered by USB.
Does this integrate with my VMS (Video Management System)?
Yes. Zeptive integrates seamlessly with major Video Management Systems, allowing you to correlate vape alerts with video footage for a complete security picture.
