Market

$100M Singapore SAM. $1.3B regional TAM.

Singapore is the beachhead. ~$30M of regulation-pressured buyers must comply with TVCA by 1 May 2026. The broader $100M total SAM and $1.3B ASEAN + GCC TAM compound from there. No vendor with Singapore HQ, BMS-native integration, and ASEAN procurement support — the structural gap incumbents resold via global distribution channels cannot close.

purpose-built ASEAN vendors. Incumbents (HALO, Triton, Verkada, Zeptive) reach the region only through global distribution — no Singapore HQ, no BMS-native integration, no local certification, no in-country procurement support. No competitor patents filed in Singapore, UAE, India, or Saudi Arabia. The 12-18 month certification timeline for any new entrant protects the first-mover window through at least 2027.
The Product

One ceiling device. Eight capabilities.

A single PoE-powered unit replaces 4-6 separate sensors typically deployed by competitors. Privacy-preserving by design — no cameras, no audio recording.

AI

Vape Detection

Multi-sensor AI cross-validates every event. Near-zero false alarms across the variant taxonomy.

PM

Smoke Detection

Distinguishes matches, candles, cigarettes from vape aerosol with combustion fingerprinting.

<3s

Active Sampling

Proprietary active air sampling. 3× faster detection than passive diffusion systems. Silent (<20 dB).

IAQ

RESET/WELL Monitor

PM1/2.5/4/10, CO₂, VOC Index, NOx Index, T/RH. Full continuous monitoring for compliance dashboards.

mW

Presence Detection

24 GHz mmWave radar occupancy. No cameras, no faces, no audio. Privacy-preserving by design.

9-A

Anti-Tamper

9-axis IMU detects tampering, removal, obstruction. Instant audit-trail event to BMS.

dB

Sound Level

Leq dB SPL — sound-pressure energy averaged. No recording, no speech retention. Just decibel level.

LCD

Local Display

On-device status panel for installation, alarms, offline access. Works without internet.

Power: PoE 802.3af
Size: 110×38mm
Ingress: IP30
Warranty: 3-year full
Operating temp: 0-50°C
Two Configurations

Pick by detection scope.

Same hardware platform, same Air OS cloud, same install pattern. Choose Pro for standard detection or Ultra for the added precision CO sensor — the cleanest discriminator between vape (no combustion) and smoke (combustion).

Competition

Three US incumbents. No regional HQ. ~50% lower TCO.

HALO/Motorola, Triton/Hanwha, and Verkada dominate North American K-12 and reach ASEAN only through global distribution. None has Singapore HQ, BMS-native integration, or pricing that survives a 4-month Singapore procurement cycle.
