Halo Smart Sensor Solutions for safer, healthier facilities

The HALO Smart Sensor 3C is a privacy-safe smart sensor designed to detect vaping, smoking, air quality concerns, aggression, abnormal noise, occupancy changes, and environmental conditions in areas where cameras are not appropriate. Unlike traditional security cameras, HALO does not record video or audio, making it ideal for restrooms, locker rooms, health offices, hotel rooms, and other privacy-sensitive spaces.

Organizations use HALO Smart Sensor 3C to improve situational awareness, receive real-time alerts, and proactively respond to safety concerns while maintaining privacy.

Yes. HALO Smart Sensor 3C can detect vaping in schools, including nicotine-based vape aerosols and many THC-related vaping events. Schools commonly install HALO sensors in restrooms, locker rooms, hallways, and other areas where traditional cameras cannot be used.

When vaping is detected, staff can receive real-time alerts to help intervene quickly, discourage repeat behavior, and support healthier school environments.

HALO has become a popular solution for K-12 schools and higher education campuses looking to address student vaping concerns while maintaining privacy.

No. HALO Smart Sensor 3C does not use cameras or record video or audio.

Instead, HALO uses advanced sensors and analytics to monitor environmental and behavioral indicators such as vaping, smoke, air quality, aggression, noise anomalies, and occupancy activity.

Because it is privacy compliant, HALO is especially useful in bathrooms, locker rooms, counseling offices, and healthcare environments where video surveillance may not be appropriate or legally permitted.

HALO Smart Sensors are typically installed in privacy-sensitive or hard-to-monitor areas where cameras are not practical or allowed.

Common installation locations include:

• School restrooms and locker rooms
• Healthcare patient areas and health offices
• Commercial office bathrooms and wellness spaces
• Hotels and hospitality environments
• Multifamily housing common areas
• Manufacturing break rooms or restricted spaces

BAYCOM works with organizations to identify the best placement strategy based on facility layout, safety priorities, and operational goals.

The HALO Smart Sensor 3C can detect a wide range of environmental and behavioral conditions designed to improve safety and awareness.

Depending on the configuration, HALO can detect:

• Vaping and smoking activity
• THC and marijuana vape indicators
• Air quality concerns and chemicals
• Carbon monoxide (CO)
• Temperature and humidity changes
• Aggression and elevated noise levels
• Abnormal sounds or disturbances
• Occupancy changes and loitering

These capabilities help organizations identify potential concerns sooner and respond more proactively.

Yes. HALO Smart Sensor 3C can detect many THC and marijuana vaping events, helping organizations identify prohibited vaping activity in schools, workplaces, and other facilities.

While no detection technology guarantees 100% identification in every circumstance, HALO is designed to recognize chemical signatures commonly associated with vape aerosols, including many THC-based products.

Schools and organizations often use HALO as part of a broader safety strategy to discourage vaping and improve accountability.

Yes. HALO Smart Sensor 3C is specifically designed for schools, bathrooms, locker rooms, and other privacy-sensitive spaces where traditional cameras cannot be installed.

Schools frequently use HALO to help address:

• Student vaping concerns
• Restroom safety monitoring
• Aggressive behavior or disturbances
• Air quality concerns
• Health and wellness monitoring

Because HALO does not record video or audio, it provides additional visibility while supporting privacy requirements.

Yes. HALO Smart Sensor 3C can monitor indoor air quality and environmental conditions in real time.

The system can help detect changes related to:

• Air quality indicators
• Carbon monoxide (CO)
• Temperature and humidity
• Chemicals and pollutants
• Indoor environmental health concerns

This makes HALO valuable for schools, healthcare facilities, offices, manufacturing environments, and commercial buildings seeking healthier indoor spaces and improved facility awareness.

The cost of a HALO Smart Sensor 3C depends on several factors, including the number of sensors needed, facility size, integration requirements, monitoring goals, and deployment complexity.

For example, a single restroom installation will have different costs than a district-wide school deployment or multi-site commercial rollout.

BAYCOM works with organizations to assess facility needs, recommend deployment strategies, and provide pricing tailored to operational goals and budgets.

BAYCOM provides installation, training, 24/7 technical support, and ongoing service through our SystemGuard plans. We’re an HALOE and Avigilon-certified partner, ensuring your system stays updated and optimized.

An integrated security system connects technologies like smart sensors, video surveillance, access control, alarms, analytics, and intercoms into one unified platform.

Instead of managing separate systems, your security tools work together. For example, when someone is smoking in a smoke-free building, the system can automatically connect that sensor alert with video footage, alerts, and activity logs—giving your team a clearer, real-time view of what’s happening and where.

At BAYCOM, integrated security is designed to help organizations improve visibility, respond faster, and manage security more efficiently across facilities, campuses, and critical areas.

Working with an experienced deployment partner helps ensure your HALO Smart Sensor solution is properly designed, installed, and integrated into your broader security strategy.

As a Platinum Elite Motorola Solutions Partner, BAYCOM helps organizations determine ideal sensor placement, configure alerts, integrate with existing Avigilon video systems, and support long-term success.

From schools and healthcare facilities to commercial and industrial environments, BAYCOM helps ensure your technology works together—and works when you need it most.
