Each Halo device comes preloaded with 5 spoken keyword phrases that are typically used during times of stress or need. For example, Halo can be set to alert anytime someone says “Help” or “Stop”. Whenever the keyword is said aloud, Halo will send notifications to those who have been designated to receive these alerts. In addition, Halo is customizable and programmable to keywords of choice.

THC is the chemical component found in marijuana. The Halo Smart Sensor is the only sensor that is able to trace THC oil given off by vape pens, along with the other traditional smoking methods. For vaping, Halo uses a Dynamic Vape Detection algorithm to automatically learn the environment and alert when Vaping is detected. It is also the only product that can alert and differentiate between Vaping, Vaping with THC, and intentionally masking Vaping behavior.

Halo can identify gunshots and the location with two-factor authentication using frequency sound pattern and percussion. Halo is 3rd party certified, and each device has a 25 ft range with 360° radius detection.

Measured in Lux, Halo can identify the light level in a particular location. This can be helpful when detecting occupancy, improving emergency efficiency, and coupling with other sensors to identify an intrusion. Halo quickly sends notifications when lights or noises are detected after hours or in unauthorized areas.

The Health Index provides a real-time indication of the potential risk for the spread of airborne infectious disease in a building, while the Air Quality Index provides a rolling average of the quality of the air you are breathing over a course of time.

While the effects of high levels of CO2 were long thought to be benign, research has found that concentrations as low as 1,000 ppm can affect people’s cognitive function and decision-making performance. The greatest source of indoor CO2 is people themselves, as it’s a byproduct of our respiratory function. Coupled with poor ventilation, this commonly leads to high levels of CO2 in many workplaces.

Particulate matter, or PM, is a mix of particles and droplets in the air. PM varies in shape and size, but those of 10 micrometers in diameter or smaller can adversely affect your health because they can be inhaled.

Sufficient exposure to PM can irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs, leading to allergy-like symptoms and shortness of breath in otherwise healthy people. It can also exacerbate existing medical problems, such as asthma and heart disease. PM 2.5 is considered the world’s single biggest environmental health risk.

Indoor PM levels can be influenced by outdoor sources like vehicle exhaust, wildfires, and power plant emissions. But many indoor activities produce PM as well: cooking, burning fireplaces, and smoking are just a few common sources.

Volatile Organic Compounds are gasses emitted from a variety of materials that can have short- and long-term health effects. Concentrations of many VOCs can be up to 10 times higher indoors than outdoors.

Sources of VOCs include many common products, including cleaning fluids, disinfectants, paints, and varnishes. Burning fuels like wood and natural gas also produce VOCs.

Short-term exposure to low levels of VOCs can cause throat irritation, nausea, fatigue, and other minor complaints. Long-term exposure to high concentrations of VOCs has been linked to more severe respiratory irritation as well as liver and kidney damage. Products can emit VOCs even when they’re in storage, though to a lesser extent than when they’re actively being used.

These levels can affect more than your comfort. High temperatures and excessive humidity promote mold and mildew growth. These can cause structural damage to your workplace and cause allergy-like symptoms in those with sensitivities. Monitoring these levels can help you prevent facility and health problems and tip you off to potential sources like structural weaknesses and leaks.
