HALO Smart Sensor from IPVideo Corporation Wins Three 2021 Secure Campus Awards for Indoor Air Quality Monitoring and Gunshot Detection

BAY SHORE, N.Y., April 23, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- IPVideo Corporation was selected as a 2021 Secure Campus Award winner in three categories: Emergency Notification/Mass Notification, Communication Devices, and Security & Personal Safety Devices.

HALO Smart Sensor has the unique ability to provide IoT sensing as event-based triggers to provide security in privacy concern areas where traditional security cameras and solutions are not practical. As an environmental monitoring tool, HALO uses multiple sensors together in a single intelligent platform to learn, analyze and create event alerts. HALO is the only product to detect vape and vape with THC. In addition, it can detect flammables, hazardous chemicals, air quality, and changes in temperature and humidity. HALO's security features include gunshot detection, spoken key word alerting, and can detect noise level fluctuations and analyze room occupancy through light detection.

Poor indoor air quality and air filtering is of great concern with the return to work and school. With 2.2, HALO will now monitor and send alerts based on Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) measurements and will report the Air Quality Index (AQI), based on the EPA's regulated standards, for the indoor environment. It will identify if the environment is in the danger zone for the spread of disease at the location of each sensor.

The integration with BACnet allows communication of building automation and control systems for applications such as heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning control (HVAC), lighting control, access control, and fire detection systems and their associated equipment. HALO alerts and sensor readings can now communicate to these varied control systems to address and make improvements in response to the alerts received.    

In addition to standard chemical detection, an additional health and safety measure in HALO 2.2 is the recognition of cleaning chemical signatures. Now you can monitor, record, and have validation of when specific locations have been sanitized to ensure safety.

In 2.2, HALO's gunshot detection feature was improved and certified by a third party for 360-degree dual authentication of multiple calibers.

All these new features are available for download via the new firmware 2.2 at no additional cost!

Campus Security & Life Safety magazine recognized the HALO Smart Sensor's new features as an outstanding campus security product announcing it as a 2021 winner of its Secure Campus Awards competition in three categories; Emergency Notification/Mass Notification, Communications Devices, and Security and Personal Safety Devices.

"These additional new features in HALO 2.2 really help our campus customers return to the classroom from COVID-19." states David Antar, President of IPVideo Corporation. "We are constantly looking to bring new features to better protect our clients and citizens and I am very pleased that we were able to include these indoor air quality and sanitization monitoring features at no additional cost to our campus customers."

"While its product awards contest is relatively new, I am honored to have Campus Security & Life Safety magazine take a forward interest in the products available to campuses nationwide. We also are pleased to be a vital part of providing solutions that will protect our children and young adults in the learning environment," said Ralph C. Jensen, editor in chief of Campus Security & Life Safety magazine. "Within the security industry, we all have a vested interest in protecting learning spaces and providing security to our valuable assets, the children."

HALO Smart Sensor and the 2.2 firmware are patent protected.
