OverviewThe Halo 4 Smart Sensor is a ceiling-mounted multi‑sensor device that detects vape events, monitors temperature and air quality/contaminants, and performs advanced audio analytics for safety events. It delivers real-time alerts and integrates with video and management systems while preserving privacy.
Key capabilities- All-in-one sensing: vape detection (THC/related events), temperature monitoring and air quality/contaminant detection
- Advanced audio analytics: classification of sounds such as screams and gunshots
- Occupancy monitoring: supports Amplify wireless occupancy sensor functionality on compatible Halo 4 occupancy models
- Integration-ready: interoperable with Avigilon Unity (on‑prem) and Avigilon Alta (cloud-native)
- Open standards: supports ONVIF Profile M and Profile T for interoperability
Operational notes- Amplify wireless occupancy features require compatible Halo 4 firmware (example minimum reported: 5.42.1.32 or later)
- Certain occupancy features are available only on specific Amplify/occupancy-enabled Halo 4 models
- Product availability noted for U.S. and Canada; check local availability
Use cases- Rapid vape detection and environmental contaminant alerts for schools, corporate, and institutional facilities
- Occupancy and space-usage monitoring to support facilities and energy management
- Audio-based safety alerts (scream/gunshot detection) to accelerate incident response
- Integration with video management and access control systems for unified situational awareness
Technical specifications- Product family / model: Halo 4 Smart Sensor
- Detections: vape (THC/related events), temperature, air quality/contaminants, audio events (advanced audio analytics)
- Occupancy: supports Amplify wireless occupancy sensor (features available on specific Halo 4 occupancy models)
- Protocols / interoperability: ONVIF Profile M and Profile T supported; APIs and integrations with Avigilon Unity and Avigilon Alta
- Management: integrates with Avigilon Unity VMS, Avigilon Alta cloud solutions, Amplify OS and Halo Device Manager
- Firmware: some features (e.g., Amplify occupancy integration) require specific firmware versions (example minimum reported: 5.42.1.32)
- Privacy: provides environmental and audio analytics while preserving privacy (no continuous person-identifying video captured by the sensor itself)
- Region availability: listing notes availability in U.S. and Canada; verify local availability
