Globally, hotels such as Marriott, Hilton, and Four Seasons are using WYND Sentry to monitor smoking incidents in their hotel rooms. Key features of the WYND Sentry include:
- It uses AI Sensing Technology to detect different types of smoke particles, and will only send out alerts when it detects actual smoking events. Cooking smoke or VOC spray that causes a high particle level will be filtered out and will not be recorded as a smoking event.
- Compared to the traditional smoke detector, which requires a high concentration of smoke particles to trigger alerts, WYND Sentry can detect smoking events even at a low particle concentration level, such as Vaping.
- Instant notification alerts and time-stamps of smoking incident are recorded and used to generate reports as evidence of smoking events.
Another core product is the WYND Halo Indoor Air Quality Monitor. The WYND Halo is one of the most comprehensive air quality monitors for indoor space, detecting up to 11 parameters, including PM1.0, PM2.5, PM4.0, PM10, Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Total Volatile Organic Compound (TVOC), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Temperature, Relative Humidity, Light and Noise.
