Case Study: How a Forward-Thinking School District Tackled the Vaping Epidemic with Innovative Technology
A Growing Concern Across Schools
From urban centers to suburban regions, vaping has rapidly become a growing concern in schools globally. Administrators, educators, and parents alike are searching for effective ways to address this health and safety issue—especially in locations where student privacy makes traditional monitoring tools, like CCTV, less feasible.
One progressive school district recognized this challenge early on. Faced with rising incidents of vaping among middle and high school students, the leadership team committed to finding a robust solution that would not only deter harmful behavior but also protect student well-being without compromising privacy.
A Mission to Foster Safer Learning Environments
With a long-standing commitment to student success and safe learning environments, the school district—serving over 13,000 students across multiple campuses—needed a solution that could seamlessly fit into its operations. The answer came in the form of the HALO IoT Smart Sensor by IPVideo Corporation, a device purpose-built for modern campus safety needs.
Designed to detect vaping, air quality changes, and even aggressive behavior, HALO proved to be more than just a sensor—it became a vital part of the district’s overall safety ecosystem.
Why HALO Stood Out
After an extensive evaluation process, HALO was selected for its unique multi-functionality:
- Vape and Smoke Detection
- Air Quality Monitoring
- Aggression and Gunshot Detection
- Tamper Alerts and Keyword Triggers
Administrators appreciated that HALO could be deployed in privacy-sensitive areas such as bathrooms—spaces where cameras are not permitted, yet problematic behavior often occurs.
Partnerships That Make a Difference
Deployment success came through strong partnerships between the school’s internal IT and security teams, and trusted solution providers. Installation, configuration, and training were all executed smoothly, resulting in a fully integrated system that could deliver real-time alerts and actionable insights.
“What made this project a success was the collaboration between stakeholders who shared a common goal—protecting students,” said one of the school’s security coordinators.
Results That Matter
Since implementation, the district has significantly reduced on-campus vaping incidents. Real-time alerts have allowed staff to take immediate corrective action, demonstrating the power of proactive technology when paired with responsive teams.
The school plans to further integrate HALO’s advanced features into its existing infrastructure, including connecting the sensor with camera systems and enabling keyword and sound-based threat detection.
