The rise of student vaping in schools is putting pressure on school administrators to find fast, effective solutions to protect students’ health and uphold school policies. With students increasingly turning to bathrooms and locker rooms without vape detectors, schools need a modern approach to monitoring without violating privacy.
MHT Technologies, in partnership with Nexgen Sensors, is proud to offer intelligent vape detection solutions designed specifically for schools. These solutions deliver real-time data, quick deployment, and peace of mind.
Why Vape Detection Matters in Schools
Vaping is no longer a fringe behavior, but rather a mainstream concern. The sleek, scent-masking nature of modern vaping devices makes them nearly impossible to catch through traditional supervision. As a result, more schools are turning to environmental sensor technology to identify where and when vaping occurs on campus.
MHT Technologies and Nexgen Sensors have introduced a solution tailored for the realities school administrators face. These advanced vape detectors are installed in restrooms, locker rooms, and other unsupervised areas to provide real-time alerts the moment vaping is detected. By doing so, schools can respond promptly, enforce policies, and protect student health.
How Vape Detectors Work
The Nexgen sensor line includes sophisticated environmental sensor vape detectors that identify a wide range of airborne substances in schools, including nicotine vapor, THC, and other chemical compounds commonly found in vaping products. These vape detectors analyze air quality in real time, alerting school administrators via secure cloud-based software when vaping is detected.
But they don’t stop at air quality. Nexgen’s sensors are also equipped with keyword detection capabilities and are able to identify flagged phrases or spoken words commonly associated with vaping behavior. This added layer of intelligence can alert staff to potential issues even before vaping occurs.
Additionally, occupancy sensors built into each device can determine how many people are present in a space, allowing schools to monitor for overcrowding or unusual congregation patterns in bathrooms and other areas where supervision is limited. These features enable a more proactive approach to student safety and help prevent vaping-related incidents before they escalate.
Easy Deployment with Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Installing new technology in schools is often a challenge, especially in older buildings. That’s why MHT Technologies supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) deployment for all Nexgen vape detection systems. With PoE, only a single Ethernet cable is required to deliver both power and data to each sensor.

This setup drastically simplifies installation. There’s no need for electrical contractors or complex wiring when setting up PoE devices. Schools can often install and activate their vape detectors in a matter of hours, not days. PoE also makes future expansions easy as additional sensors can be added without extensive rewiring or high costs.
Integration with Smart Building Systems
By connecting environmental sensors through the same platform that powers lighting or emergency systems, schools achieve greater situational awareness and operational efficiency. Vape detection becomes part of a larger safety and wellness strategy, not a standalone tool.
