Vaping doesn't stop where your network ends. The Zeptive Cellular Detector combines precision sensing with independent cellular connectivity, allowing you to secure buses, outdoor restrooms, and athletic facilities without relying on WiFi or power outlets.
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:
School buses, outdoor field houses, and remote storage sheds are prime locations for vaping because they are often "off the grid." Extending your WiFi network to these areas is technically difficult and financially impractical, leaving significant gaps in your supervision strategy.
The Zeptive Solution: The Off-Grid Guardian
The Zeptive Cellular Detector is an autonomous security unit. It creates its own connection to the cloud using cellular networks, just like a mobile phone.
-
Remote Building Coverage: Instantly deploy detection in dugouts, outdoor bathrooms, or temporary classrooms where running conduit or extending WiFi is impossible.
-
Secure the School Bus: Place units on buses to monitor student behavior during transit—areas traditionally difficult to supervise.
- True Independence: No power cables. No local internet required. Just mount it and turn it on.
-
We provide a complete, autonomous installation kit so you can secure your remote assets immediately.
-
1 Zeptive Cellular Detector: Pre-configured for cellular data transmission.
-
1 High-Capacity Rechargeable Battery: Long-life Li-ion pack (removable for charging).
-
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 Quick Start Guide: QR code access to the Zeptive App and digital manual.

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 (Cellular LTE)
Upon detection, the unit utilizes built-in cellular technology to transmit data directly to the cloud. It bypasses local networks entirely, ensuring coverage in moving vehicles or remote locations.
3. Alert (Real-Time Intervention)
Designated staff receive instant notifications via the Zeptive App, text, or email.
- Transportation Director: Receive alerts regarding incidents on specific buses.
-
Principal/AP: Receive alerts for discipline and intervention.
-
Security/School Resource Officer (SRO): Monitor security and safety incidents.
-
Precision Sensor Technology: Our algorithms distinguish between vaping (nicotine/THC), masking agents (air fresheners, cologne, etc.), and the background environment, significantly reducing false positives.
-
Cellular Connectivity: Operates independently of your IT infrastructure. Ideal for mobile assets (buses) or buildings outside your WiFi range.
-
Tamper-Resistant Hardware: Designed for the reality of unsupervised environments. The unit features a wire cage option, and integrated tamper alarms to deter vandalism.
-
Rechargeable Independence: The high-capacity battery eliminates the need for power outlets.
- Note: Battery life varies based on alert frequency; optional external battery packs are available for high-traffic areas.

You Are Here
Do I need WiFi for this to work?
No. This unit uses cellular networks (like a cell phone) to transmit data. It works anywhere there is a cell signal, making it perfect for areas where WiFi doesn't reach.
Can I use this on a bus?
Yes. Because it runs on battery power and cellular data, it is the ideal solution for monitoring buses while they are on their routes.
Does this require a data plan?
Yes, the cellular functionality requires a data connection. Please request a quote to discuss the best data plan options for your specific deployment needs.
How often do I need to charge the battery?
Battery life depends on location traffic, alert frequency and cellular signal strength. In typical use cases, batteries last 2 months. The Zeptive App provides live battery status so your team knows exactly when to swap or charge them.
Is the hardware tamper-proof?
Yes. Like all Zeptive units, it features a tamper-resistant design with security screws and onboard tamper and proximity alarms, which is critical for unsupervised areas like outdoor restrooms or the back of a bus.
