Battery-Powered Smoke & Vapor Detection for Apartment Communities
34 Currituck Cir, Oriental, NC 28571
Your Daily Reality
Smoking in multifamily properties creates cascading problems — from health complaints to lost revenue. Here’s what you’re up against.
Secondhand smoke drifts between units through shared walls and HVAC systems — generating complaints and potential legal liability for your property.
Top 3 complaint issueWithout concrete evidence, enforcing no-smoking policies turns into he-said-she-said disputes that consume your time and erode trust with residents.
Hard to prove & enforceSmoke residue permeates walls, carpets, and HVAC — requiring extensive remediation that eats directly into your margins at every unit turnover.
$3K–$5K+ per unitGood tenants won’t tolerate it. Nearly half of renters say smoking violations are reason enough to break their lease — taking your occupancy rate with them.
46% would move outThese aren’t just inconveniences — they’re measurable costs that compound every month without a clear solution in place.
Introducing
One Sensor. Three Threats. Zero Wiring.
Patent-pending detection uses a proprietary AI strategy to identify cigarette smoke with high accuracy — even trace amounts in enclosed spaces — enabling ultra-low power, battery-powered operation.
Patent-pending proprietary AI process classifies e-cigarette vapor types locally — not via a database lookup — delivering precision you can rely on without false alarms from steam, humidity, or cooking.
Patent-pending Ai detection identifies cannabis smoke on-device with confidence, helping enforce community policies and maintain smoke-free environments with ultra-low power efficiency.
Simple Setup, Powerful Protection
Mount ZsenseCVC in any unit in minutes. No wiring, no electrician. Peel‑and‑stick or screw mount.
Patent‑pending AI process classifies cigarette, vape, and cannabis vapors on‑device — no cloud lookup required.
Real‑time notifications via LoRaWAN or WiFi. Know which unit, what type, and when — instantly.
Documented evidence for lease enforcement, policy compliance, and resident communication.
From installation to enforcement — fully operational in under 10 minutes.
Competitive Advantage
One device replaces an entire stack of single-purpose sensors — saving you time, money, and complexity.

Engineered to Last
Accurate detection you can trust, with maintenance-free hardware and bank-level data security.
A proprietary on-device algorithm classifies vapor signatures locally — no cloud-based database lookup required. This architecture accurately distinguishes cigarette, vape, and cannabis smoke without false alarms from cooking or cleaning products.
Minimal false alarmsNo laser-based particle counters draining batteries. Our patent-pending on-device algorithmic detection eliminates the need for cloud lookups — a fundamental architectural advantage that delivers 5+ years on just 2 lithium C batteries.
5+ year battery lifeAll data encrypted from sensor to dashboard. Choose LoRaWAN 915 MHz or WiFi connectivity — whatever fits your building. Your data stays private, period.
End-to-end encryptedThe Numbers Speak
Smart smoke detection that protects your investment and pays for itself.
