New York Middle School Implements Vape Detectors with Sound Monitoring

Lindenhurst Middle School installs devices to detect nicotine, THC, and aggressive behavior in bathrooms, funded by the American Rescue Plan.

  • FlySense FS300 detectors can identify nicotine and THC in the air and monitor sound for potential fights or bullying.
  • The devices use AI algorithms to differentiate between normal sounds and suspicious activities without using microphones.
  • Detected incidents prompt immediate email alerts to the principal, leading to professional intervention services for students.
  • The initiative includes an educational component where caught students research the harmful effects of vaping.
  • The detectors will be expanded to other schools in the district, including Lindenhurst High School and schools in Copiague and Wyandanch.
