HALO IoT Smart Sensor

The HALO IoT Smart Sensor has 12 unique detection sensors that work in conjunction to detect vape, smoke, THC and sound abnormalities like gunshots and shouting in areas a camera cannot be placed. Additional sensors give the HALO the ability to monitor air quality, temperature, humidity, hazardous chemicals and more.

A HALO device can be connected to Arcules to transmit events from the HALO Smart Sensor to Arcules. Through the Arcules Rules engine, you can configure actions such as record video, alarms and notifications based on HALO events.
