Problem
Underage vaping and bullying are pervasive issues in schools, often occurring in areas where traditional surveillance methods like cameras and microphones are restricted. These activities can create unsafe and unhealthy learning environments, impacting student well-being and academic performance.
Solution
Soter Technologies offers FlySense, a sensor-based solution designed to detect vaping, bullying, and device tampering in schools. The FlySense system utilizes advanced sensors and algorithms to identify vape and cigarette smoke, as well as sound anomalies indicative of bullying. When an event is detected, the system sends real-time alerts via email and SMS, enabling school staff to respond quickly. The latest generation, FlySense® 300, incorporates AI-driven forecasting to predict when and where monitoring should be increased, and integrates with the EoT Live cloud-based portal for enhanced data analysis and reporting.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes K-12 schools, educational institutions, and other organizations seeking to create safer and healthier environments for students and staff.
