Verkada SV23 Air Quality Sensor
SV23 Datasheet
Overview
The SV23 air quality sensor is a cloud-managed device for monitoring indoor air quality and ambient environment conditions. Like the SV21, it measures temperature and relative humidity, while also introducing measurements for indoor pollutants like particulate matter and volatile organic compounds.
This sensor is well suited for environments like bathrooms and locker rooms, where organizations can detect vaping or concerning noise disturbances. It is also well suited for monitoring air quality in offices and other indoor spaces, enabling organizations to track CO2 levels, AQI, the RESET Viral Index, and more. The SV23 also collects extensive data that can be used to meet requirements for leading green building certifications like RESET, LEED or WELL.
Organizations additionally benefit from alerts for offline devices, 24/7 support, and automatic firmware updates, helping to ensure their sensors are operational and improving over time.

Onboard Sensors
Ambient Environment Indicators
Temperature Sensor: CMOS |
Relative Humidity Sensor: CMOS |
Mold Risk Index Sensor: Formula derived from other sensors |
Heat Index The heat index represents what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the temperature. It is derived from our existing temperature and humidity readings and uses the National Weather Service's heat index chart to calculate the reading value. |
Humidex Similar to the heat index and commonly used in Canada, Humidex indicates how hot it feels to the average person. It is calculated using a formula developed by Canadian meteorologists. |
Dew Point Index Dew point is the temperature at which air cools enough for water vapor to condense into dew or frost. Industries from transportation to agriculture often use this index to predict and mitigate risks from conditions like frost or fog. |
Noise Level Sensor: MEMS microphone A measure of total noise level at the sensor. OSHA regulations state that noise levels cannot exceed 90 dBA over an 8 hour period, or 95 dBA over a 4 hour period. |
Motion A measure of changes in infrared light absorption caused by the motion of warm bodies, as measured by a passive infrared sensor. Powered by the same technology as motion sensors for intrusion detection, a motion event indicates human/animal motion or other large changes in infrared activity. |
Tamper Detection Indicates if your device has been moved or tampered with. |
Air Quality Indicators
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) CO2 measurements capture the absolute level of CO2 in an environment. At levels of 800ppm or less, CO2 is harmless. Between 800 and 2000ppm, CO2 levels can be harmful to health, at levels above 2000ppm, CO2 can be extremely harmful to human health. |
Vape Index Verkada's Vape Index is a score derived from multiple sensors that is strongly correlated with vaping and/or smoking activity. Vape Index measurements outside of the green zone indicate suspected vaping/smoking activity, but could also reflect smoke or fumes from other sources. Smoke from cooking, burning fuel or wildfires may register highly on the Vape Index. |
Air Quality Index The U.S. AQI measures total air pollution and provides benchmarks for healthy values. When AQI exceeds 100, air quality is unhealthy - at first for certain sensitive groups of people, then for everyone as AQI values get higher. |
RESET® Viral Index The RESET® Viral Index is designed to assess the likelihood of airborne virus transmission in indoor spaces, using research on virus transmission and applying it to continuous monitoring. |
TVOC TVOC is a total measure of Volatile Organic Compounds, which are chemicals that evaporate into the air and are emitted by cleaners, paints, varnishes, fragrances and hundreds of other products. Examples include benzene, ethylene glycol and formaldehyde. Measured as a TVOC index, VOCs are measured as a group because of their cumulative effects, with high TVOC values associated with negative health impacts. |
PM 2.5 Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM 2.5) refers to tiny inhalable particles or droplets in the air that are less than 2.5 microns in width. PM 2.5 captures particulates from dust, vehicle exhaust, burning fuels, cooking, smoking and vaping. These particles can have a negative health impact. |
PM 4.0 Particulate Matter 4.0 (PM 4.0) refers to tiny inhalable particles or droplets in the air that are less than 4.0 microns in width. PM 4.0 captures particulates from dust, vehicle exhaust, burning fuels, cooking, smoking and vaping. These particles can have a negative health impact. |
PM 10.0 Particulate Matter 10.0 (PM 10.0) refers to tiny inhalable particles or droplets in the air that are less than 10.0 microns in width. PM 10.0 captures particulates from dust, vehicle exhaust, burning fuels, cooking, smoking and vaping. These particles can have a negative health impact. |
