"Incidents went from multiple times a week to zero. Zero. We couldn't believe it. The students knew immediately that the bathrooms were being monitored, and that was enough to stop most of it — but when incidents did happen, we responded while they were still in the room."

Questions about vape detection

How accurate is Triton compared to other vape detectors?
Triton detects vaping with 98.9% accuracy — compared to roughly 91% for the leading competitor and ~88% for the industry average. That means significantly fewer false alarms and more real detections. In a school with 100 monthly vaping incidents, Triton catches 98-99. Most competitors miss 9-12.
Can students trick the sensor by blowing vapor into clothing?
Triton's multi-channel sensor technology detects vaping even when students attempt to mask it by blowing into clothing, using fabric softener sheets, or spraying air freshener. These masking attempts actually generate a detectable chemical signature of their own.
How does it detect vaping without a camera?
Triton uses electrochemical and particulate sensors that detect the specific chemical signatures of vape aerosols, THC, and tobacco smoke. It doesn't need to see anything — it senses air chemistry. This makes it fully privacy-compliant and appropriate for bathrooms and locker rooms.
How long does installation take?
Most schools complete installation in 30 minutes or less. You mount the sensor on the ceiling or wall, connect it to a PoE network connection (or WiFi), and configure your alerts through the web portal. No electrician, contractor, or IT specialist required.
Does it work in bathrooms with many stalls?
Yes. Triton recommends one sensor per 160 square feet. For most school bathrooms, that's one or two sensors per restroom. The sensor's 360-degree detection range covers the entire space, even through stall partitions.
What happens when it detects vaping?
Within 5 seconds, your designated staff receive a text message, email, or app notification indicating the specific location (which sensor, which room) and what was detected. They can respond immediately while the student is still in the bathroom. The alert includes a timestamp for documentation.
