HALO Smart Sensor: Smoke Detection, Health & Safety Monitoring for Public Housing
The HALO Smart Sensor and HALO Cloud interface help building managers manage non-compliance and improve resident health, mitigate fire risk, and reduce renovation and insurance costs. It detects smoking and vaping, and alerts managers to a wide range of environmental pollutants and risk factors.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Smoking and Vaping Detection
Monitors for smoking and vaping, which are prohibited in public housing. HALO alerts property owners and managers when detected.
-
Temperature Monitoring
Ensures room temperature is within regulatory limits. Alerts can be sent when units or common areas are too warm or cold.
-
Air Quality Index (Particulates & Contaminants)
Monitors air quality, which significantly impacts heart and lung health, especially for the elderly. HALO enables monitoring at a unit level.
-
Humidity Monitoring
Alerts property managers when relative humidity is outside the recommended range (below 40% or above 60%), helping to prevent allergies from mold and mildew and minimize disease transmission.
