See what's happening in the spaces cameras can't go
Bathrooms, locker rooms, and server closets are some of the most important spaces on campus, and the ones where cameras can't be installed. Verkada environmental sensors give K-12 schools a discreet, all-in-one way to detect vaping, monitor air quality, and protect critical infrastructure.
Vape and fight detection where it matters most
A single Verkada sensor detects the chemical signatures of nicotine and THC vape, plus elevated noise levels associated with fighting or vandalism. When an event triggers, the sensor pairs with nearby Verkada cameras to show staff who walked into the bathroom in the minutes before and after, giving administrators the context they need to address behavior fairly and quickly.
- Detects nicotine and THC vape aerosols within seconds
- Sound-based detection for shouting, fighting, and breaking glass
- Pairs with adjacent cameras for instant visual context
- Real-time SMS, email, and mobile alerts to designated staff
Healthier learning environments, protected IT rooms
The same sensor continuously measures CO₂, PM2.5 and PM4.0 particulates, VOCs, temperature, and humidity. Track classroom air quality to support student focus and wellness, and protect server rooms, MDF closets, and AV racks from heat and humidity damage before equipment fails.
- CO₂, VOC, PM2.5/PM4.0, temperature, and humidity monitoring
- Historical trends and alerts for unhealthy air quality
- Critical equipment protection for server rooms and IT closets
- Cloud-managed dashboard with no on-prem software
Built around the realities of private & independent K-12 schools
Reduce vaping incidents campus-wide
Schools that deploy detection sensors report dramatic drops in repeat incidents within the first semester.
Protect six-figure IT investments
Catch a failing HVAC unit before it cooks a $50,000 server stack overnight or over a long weekend.
Demonstrate care for student wellness
Real, measurable air quality data you can share with parents, faculty, and the board.
Common deployments on campus
Every campus is different. Here are the spaces where this solution most often makes an immediate impact for the schools we serve.
- Student and staff bathrooms
- Locker rooms and athletic facilities
- Server rooms, MDF/IDF closets, and AV racks
- Science labs and art rooms with chemical exposure
- Classrooms tracking CO₂ and ventilation for student focus
