Milesight GS601 Vape Detector

Milesight GS601 Vape Detector

The Milesight GS601 is a LoRaWAN vape detector designed to identify vaping and smoking events in indoor spaces such as classrooms, restrooms, stairwells and apartments. Its multi-sensor design combines vape detection with TVOC, particulate matter, temperature and humidity monitoring, while local light and sound alarms, LoRaWAN reporting and tamper detection help organisations monitor and respond to events more effectively.

Key Features

• Vape and smoke detection: Uses laser-scattering sensing and environmental data to identify vaping and smoking events in monitored indoor spaces.
• Multi-sensor environmental monitoring: Measures Vape Index, TVOC, PM1.0, PM2.5, PM10, temperature and relative humidity from a single device.
• Interference handling: Supports anti-water-vapour disturbance and other gas-interference detection, with interference information reported by the device.
• Local audible and visual alerts: An integrated status/alarm indicator and 70 dB buzzer can provide immediate notification when configured thresholds are reached.
• Tamper detection: A built-in vibration sensor can identify vandalism or tampering and generate corresponding alarm information.
• LoRaWAN connectivity: Class C LoRaWAN communication enables remote air-quality reporting, event alerts and compatible network integration.
• NFC and remote management: Supports local NFC configuration, LoRaWAN downlink configuration and Firmware Update Over the Air for easier device management.

Multi-Sensor Vape Detection

The GS601 combines multiple sensing technologies to identify environmental changes associated with vaping and smoking. Its laser-scattering Vape Index sensor operates across a 0 to 100 range, while additional particulate sensors measure PM1.0, PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations. TVOC, temperature and humidity measurements provide further environmental information to support monitoring and event detection.

Designed to Reduce Environmental Interference

Indoor vape detectors can encounter environmental conditions that resemble vaping events. Milesight equips the GS601 with anti-water-vapour disturbance functionality and support for identifying other gas interference. Interference information can be reported by the device, helping provide additional context when monitoring environments such as restrooms and other shared indoor spaces.

Local and Remote Alerts

When monitored conditions reach configured thresholds, the GS601 can activate its integrated status/alarm indicator and 70 dB buzzer while reporting event information through LoRaWAN. Buzzer hibernation can be configured to help prevent unwanted audible alarms during installation or maintenance. A built-in vibration sensor also provides tamper detection for identifying potential vandalism or interference with the installed device.

LoRaWAN Management and Integration

The GS601 operates as a LoRaWAN Class C device with OTAA and ABP activation support, providing continuous availability for compatible downlink communication. Local configuration is available through NFC using the Milesight mobile application, while remote configuration can be performed through LoRaWAN downlinks. The device also supports threshold alarms, calibration and Firmware Update Over the Air functionality and is compatible with the Milesight Development Platform.
