Smart Sensors for Intelligent Threat Detection

Modern safety requires more than just cameras and locks. Smart sensors go beyond traditional surveillance by monitoring the environment for invisible threats—like vape smoke, gunshots, air quality changes, or aggressive behavior. These AI-powered sensors deliver real-time intelligence to security teams and integrate directly into your response workflows.

Whether deployed in schools, hospitals, transit systems, or office buildings, smart sensors act as silent sentinels—alerting teams to risks before they escalate.

Why Smart Sensors Matter

Visual surveillance alone isn’t enough. Smart sensors fill critical gaps by monitoring what you can’t see:

Halo Smart Sensor
  • Air Quality & Vaping – Detect smoke, THC, or vapor in restrooms and hallways
  • Aggression Detection – Analyze sound for shouting, fighting, or stress indicators
  • Gunshot Detection – Recognize the acoustic signature of firearm discharges
  • Environmental Monitoring – Alert for changes in air quality, CO₂, temperature, or occupancy
  • Keyword & Sound Triggers – Flag specific phrases like “help” or “gun” in real time

When paired with Motorola’s safety ecosystem via Orchestrate, these detections automatically trigger defined workflows—like sending an alert to school resource officers, locking doors, or turning cameras to the sensor’s location.

HALO Smart Sensor

The HALO Smart Sensor 3C is our featured solution for multi-dimensional environmental monitoring. Installed across thousands of schools, hospitals, and transit hubs, HALO delivers:
Vaping & THC detection

  • Aggression & gunshot detection
  • Spoken keyword recognition
  • Motion & occupancy sensing
  • Air quality monitoring (CO₂, particulates, humidity, etc.)
  • Real-time alerts with visual LED indicators
  • No audio recording (for privacy compliance)

Integrated with Motorola Orchestrate

Every smart sensor becomes more powerful when connected to your broader safety ecosystem. Through Motorola Orchestrate, detections become actions:

  • Vape detected in restroom? Alert school admin, activate camera, and log an incident.
  • Gunshot heard? Lock down the affected area and alert local law enforcement.
  • Aggressive yelling in the hallway? Notify SRO via radio and send live video feed to command.


These workflows are fully customizable using Orchestrate’s drag-and-drop interface—ensuring you respond faster, smarter, and more consistently.

Real-World Applications

  • Schools: Deter vaping, detect fights, alert staff during after-hours activity
  • Healthcare: Monitor patient rooms for aggression, unauthorized presence, or air quality
  • Transit Hubs: Detect gunshots, vandalism, or air contaminants in public terminals
  • Commercial Spaces: Alert on facility conditions, suspicious behavior, or safety concerns
