VAPELESS / VAPELESS PRO
VAPELESS and VAPELESS PRO are advanced indoor sensing devices designed for reliable detection of electronic cigarette vaping together with environmental monitoring and aggression / violence detection.
The sensor uses integrated intelligent computational algorithms and Pattern Recognition technology to identify vaping gas mixtures produced by a wide variety of electronic cigarette liquids and flavours, including complex mixed vapour compositions.
Vaping activity is represented by a Vape Index ranging from 0 to 500, allowing the monitoring system to distinguish normal indoor background conditions from increasing levels of vaping activity. When the configured threshold is exceeded, the sensor automatically switches to intensive data transmission intervals, enabling rapid event notification.
VAPELESS also incorporates intelligent noise pattern analysis for the detection of aggressive and violent activity. Detected acoustic events are evaluated using a Violence Index from 0 to 11, providing an indication of event intensity from normal ambient conditions to severe impacts or loud shouting.
Measurement and event data are transmitted through a Class A LoRaWAN® NB-IoT, 5G network. The device supports over-the-air configuration and automatic calibration, making it suitable for permanent deployment in schools, universities, public buildings and other indoor environments.
VAPELESS PRO extends the platform with physical anti-tampering detection. Integrated accelerometer processing identifies impacts, device movement, knock-down and removal events using a Tamper system The PRO version also provides VOC Index monitoring for additional indoor air-quality information. Intellectual algorithms detects intensive cleaning, direct spraying to sensor.
The sensor can cover an area of up to approximately 5 m radius, depending on vaping intensity, room configuration and physical barriers. Recommended installation height is up to approximately 3–3.5 m.

KEY BENEFITS
Intelligent Vaping Detection
Integrated Pattern Recognition algorithms analyse complex gas mixtures rather than relying on a single basic measurement parameter, allowing the device to identify a wide range of electronic cigarette vapours and flavours.
Fast Event Notification
When vaping activity exceeds the configured Vape Index threshold, VAPELESS automatically increases its transmission frequency, enabling vaping events to be delivered to the monitoring system within short intervals within seconds.
Vaping Intensity Monitoring
The Vape Index provides more information than a simple ON/OFF alarm. It enables monitoring of relative vaping activity and changing conditions inside the room.
Aggression and Violence Detection
Integrated acoustic pattern analysis evaluates aggressive and violent activity without relying solely on sound level. The Violence Index provides an indication of event intensity from normal background conditions to significant impacts and shouting.
Anti-Tampering Protection — VAPELESS PRO
The PRO version detects physical interaction with the sensor, including impacts, orientation changes, knock-down and removal. Events are classified through the integrated Tamper Index.
Additional Indoor Air Information
VAPELESS PRO provides a VOC Index from 1 to 500, continuously adapting to the prevailing indoor environment and showing changes relative to the established baseline.
Wireless Building Integration
LoRaWAN® Class A communication enables VAPELESS to be incorporated into existing IoT and building-monitoring infrastructure without additional data cabling. Communication range can reach up to 10 km line-of-sight, with actual range depending on the installation environment.
Low-Maintenance Operation
Automatic calibration and intelligent baseline correction reduce routine maintenance requirements. Under normal indoor operation, maintenance is primarily limited to battery replacement.
