Security cameras and access control tell you what happened. Detection systems tell you the moment something is happening. CCI designs and installs vape, smoke, and weapon detection solutions for schools, warehouses, and commercial facilities across Northeast and Central Ohio. With offices in Cleveland and Columbus, CCI serves businesses and institutions across Northeast and Central Ohio …
Vape & Smoke Detection
Vaping in school bathrooms and unsupervised common areas is one of the hardest enforcement challenges administrators deal with today. Vape and smoke detection sensors monitor the air continuously and trigger real-time alerts to staff or administrators the moment an event is detected — no one needs to be physically present to catch it. For warehouses and industrial facilities, smoke detection integration adds an additional layer of early warning that standard fire systems can miss.
Camera Integration & Incident Documentation
Where detection systems get really powerful is when they’re tied directly into your camera infrastructure. When a vape or smoke event is detected, the system automatically timestamps the alert and pulls camera footage from the surrounding area — showing you who entered the space before and after the event was triggered. This gives administrators and security teams a complete incident documentation workflow without having to manually scrub through hours of footage. Most of the systems we install have this integration built directly into the platform.
Weapon & Gun Detection
Weapon detection technology has advanced significantly and is now a realistic option for schools, entry points, and high-traffic facilities that need an additional layer of security beyond access control. AI-powered weapon detection systems analyze camera feeds in real time and alert security personnel the moment a potential threat is identified — before an incident escalates. We install and support weapon detection solutions from Corumai and Verkada, two of the leading platforms in this space.
Vape & Detection System Brands
We install and support detection systems from Halo, Verkada, and Ubiquiti for vape and smoke detection, and Corumai and Verkada for weapon and gun detection. Each platform integrates directly with camera and access control infrastructure for a unified security ecosystem.
Vape sensors continuously monitor the air for chemical compounds associated with vaping and smoking. When those compounds are detected above a set threshold, the system sends an immediate alert to designated staff or administrators via text, email, or app notification — in real time, not after the fact.
In most cases yes. The platforms we work with are built with direct camera integration, meaning a detection event automatically pulls timestamped footage from the relevant cameras. This makes incident documentation straightforward and defensible.
Today’s AI-powered weapon detection platforms have advanced significantly in accuracy and are actively being deployed in K-12 schools across the country. We’ll walk you through how the technology works and what to realistically expect during a site consultation.
K-12 schools are the most common use case for both vape and weapon detection. Warehouses and industrial facilities benefit from smoke and air quality detection tied into their broader security infrastructure. Any facility where staff can’t be everywhere at once is a good candidate.
