Eagle Eye Networks, the pioneer in cloud video surveillance, launched Eagle Eye Sensors to detect and automatically alert when vaping, air quality changes, temperature shifts, water presence, and other environmental events occur, empowering schools and businesses to take immediate action to ensure building safety, efficiency, regulatory compliance, and healthy work and learning environments.  Eagle Eye Cloud VMS Integrated into the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS (video management system), Eagle Eye Sensors combine with video surveillance to monitor a variety of environmental conditions and give customers real-time data and a comprehensive view of what’s happening in their buildings.  Indoor Air Quality: Track motion, noise, temperature, TVOC, CO, CO2, smoking and vaping in school bathrooms and common areas of businesses Temperature & Humidity: Maintain safety and quality standards, often used in commercial refrigerators or freezers, found in medical facilities, labs, restaurants Water Presence: Detect water leaks and flooding and prevent costly damage Access Monitoring: Prevent unauthorised access to buildings or certain rooms; track door usage to reduce energy consumption in climate-controlled locations such as server rooms Intelligent automation “With intelligent automation, real-time alerts and actions, Eagle Eye Sensors can prevent costly damage, save money, and help organisations run more efficiently,” said Dean Drako, CEO of Eagle Eye Networks. “Eagle Eye Sensors also help create healthy environments with clean air and well-functioning systems, which is essential to the well-being, productivity and success of students and workers.” Eagle Eye Sensors: how it works Eagle Eye Sensors are ideal for monitoring sensitive areas where security cameras cannot be used Eagle Eye Sensors are ideal for monitoring sensitive areas where security cameras cannot be used, such as restrooms, locker rooms, health care facilities, and secure storage areas. For example, vaping often occurs in locker rooms or restrooms where security cameras are not used. Eagle Eye Sensors help school officials address vaping by detecting, alerting, and providing visual information about incidents while maintaining privacy.  This is how it works: If an Eagle Eye Sensor detects vape smoke in a school locker room, the system automatically triggers an alert. School authorities verify the event and gain additional information from security cameras located in hallways or other areas outside of the locker room, enabling them to take immediate, informed action. Longstanding challenge in K-12 settings “At Gardient, we’re thrilled to introduce Eagle Eyes Sensors to our education customers to address vaping detection–a longstanding challenge in K-12 settings,” said Mike Intag, Managing Partner at Gardient, a systems integration firm based in Austin, Texas. “In addition to vaping, Eagle Eye Sensors provide temperature, humidity, and open-door monitoring, enabling us to deliver a cost-effective IoT solution, and they can view and manage everything from a single dashboard. This advances our offering beyond security alone, providing total operational effectiveness for any business.”  Eagle Eye Sensors benefits Easy Installation: Wireless, cloud-based sensors are simple to install and configure Automated Workflows for Sensor Alerts: Set threshold notifications and determine incident escalation Holistic View of Incidents: Real-time alerts and associated video Reports and Trends Analysis: Ensure compliance, improve safety, and optimise operations Reduce False Positive Alarms: Cameras visually confirm threshold breaches and environmental changes Future Proof: Integrate new sensor types and capabilities as business needs evolve; automatic updates via the cloud Simplify Operations: Single platform for cameras and sensors Protect Privacy: Non-invasive, privacy-compliant sensor solution Available now, Eagle Eye Sensors will be showcased, along with its other new AI-powered products, in Booth 20037 at ISC West 2025 in Las Vegas April 2-4.
