Verkada SV25-F FIPS-Validated Air Quality Sensor

Overview

The SV25-F air quality sensor is a FIPS-validated device for monitoring indoor air quality and ambient environment conditions. It provides a broad range of readings, from temperature and relative humidity to indoor pollutants like particulate matter and formaldehyde.

The SV25-F can be deployed in a variety of indoor environments. It can be used in server rooms to safeguard networking infrastructure against extreme temperatures or humidity. In indoor environments, the SV25-F tracks CO2, AQI, the RESET® Viral Index, and more to promote healthier air quality for building occupants. For workspaces, it helps to support OSHA compliance by monitoring for excessive noise and heat index levels, among other parameters.

Organizations can use this device with either Command or Command in AWS GovCloud, and the SV25-F provides FIPS encryption in-transit and encryption-at-rest as a default. Federal 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.

Reading Overview | Ambient Environment Indicators

Temperature

SV25 temperature measurements are accurate from 23°F - 122°F (-5 – 45°C). As with other data streams, users can customize temperature alerts if a space is kept at a temperature outside of the recommended green zone.

Relative Humidity

Relative humidity is the amount of moisture in the air compared to what the air can hold at that temperature.

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.

Mold Risk Index

The Mold Risk Index assesses the likelihood of mold growth in confined, unventilated spaces based on temperature and humidity levels. Higher temperatures combined with elevated humidity create ideal conditions for mold spores to thrive, making these factors key indicators of potential mold growth.

Noise Level

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.

Ambient Light

With Verkada Sensors, you can understand light patterns, ensure a safe occupant experience and help improve building energy savings. Measured in lux, Ambient Light readings allow you to see light conditions in real time and set alerts based on customized thresholds to protect and optimize your spaces.

Barometric Pressure

Barometric pressure, or atmospheric pressure, is a measure of the weight of air. Measured in hectoPascals (hPa), barometric pressure is impacted by the outdoor climate and indoor conditions like running HVAC systems or temperature.

Audio Recording

An audio recording system powered by an omnidirectional digital microphone that can record up to 365 days of audio on any SV25 device. Audio recording is disabled by default and also comes with standard privacy features that ensure audio recording capabilities are deployed in a way that respects individuals' privacy.

Tamper Detection

Indicates if your device has been moved or tampered with.

Reading Overview | 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.

Carbon Monoxide (CO)

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless gas that can be deadly. Measured in parts per million (ppm), CO is found in the fumes produced anytime fuel is burned on trucks, engines, stoves, grills or furnaces. Left undetected, CO can build up indoors and poison people or animals who breathe it.

PM 2.5

Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM2.5) 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.

Formaldehyde

Formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable gas that is used in many common compounds such as building materials, paints, fertilizers and as a byproduct of combustion from fuel-burning appliances or cigarette smoke. Formaldehyde has a strong odor and can cause irritation of the skin, eyes, nose and throat and can cause some types of cancer.
