Wired Vape Detector (USB + WiFi)

The Challenge:

Certain areas—like faculty lounges, administrative offices, and finished hallways—are difficult to wire for PoE but require continuous supervision. Relying on batteries in these high-traffic zones can add maintenance steps, yet pulling new network cables is invasive and costly. You need a solution that fits the room’s existing utility footprint.

 

The Zeptive Solution: The Power of Plug-and-Play

The Zeptive Plug-in Detector bridges the gap between wired reliability and wireless ease. It uses the standard power outlets you already have to provide "always-on" detection.

 

• Utilize Existing Outlets: Perfect for rooms with high-mounted AC outlets or standard wall receptacles.
• Continuous Uptime: Never worry about battery life. The unit draws constant power from the wall while transmitting data securely over WiFi.
• Zero Maintenance: No batteries to charge, no cables to run. Just plug it in, twist it onto the mount, and connect.

We provide a complete kit to get your system online in minutes using standard power.

 

• 1 Zeptive Wireless Detector: Configured for WiFi data transmission.

• 1 USB Power Adapter & Cable: Industrial-grade 5V power supply for standard wall outlets.

• 1 Universal Mounting Plate: Twist-lock design for secure wall or ceiling attachment.

• 1 Complete Hardware Kit: Includes screws and heavy-duty drywall anchors.

• 1 Torx Security Key: For tamper-resistant locking.

1. Sense (Continuous Monitoring)

The multi-sensor unit continuously monitors air quality and sound decibels using precision algorithms that distinguish between vaping (THC/Nicotine) and environmental noise.

 

2. Transmit (WiFi + Wall Power)

Powered continuously by a standard outlet, the unit transmits data via your existing WiFi network. It combines the reliability of wired power with the flexibility of wireless data—no proprietary hubs required.

 

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 (cologne/aerosols), and environmental noise, significantly reducing false positives.

• Continuous Power Supply: Eliminates battery anxiety. By plugging into standard 110V/220V outlets via USB, the unit runs 24/7 without maintenance.

• 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.

• WiFi Flexibility: Does not require a physical data port. Connects securely to your enterprise WiFi network, allowing for placement in areas where Ethernet drops are not available.

Do I need to run an Ethernet cable for this model?

No. This model only requires a standard electrical outlet for power. Data is transmitted wirelessly over your existing WiFi network.

Does this unit have a battery?

No battery maintenance is required. It is powered continuously by the wall outlet.

 

Where is this model typically installed?

It is ideal for administrative offices, faculty lounges, and hallways where high-mounted power outlets (often used for clocks or signs) are already present.

 

Can I use a standard phone charger to power it?

The unit comes with a specific industrial-grade power adapter and cable designed for continuous 24/7 operation. We recommend using the included hardware to ensure reliability and warranty coverage.

 

What happens if the power goes out?

Standard Zeptive devices will turn off off during a power outage. Once power is restored, it automatically reboots and reconnects to your network without any manual intervention. A USB powered device may optionally be equipped with an internal backup battery for continuous operation.
