Dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide can be detected by the HALO sensor.
This means you can take action in necessary to improve heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in your school, office or hotel as required to ensure people are kept safe.
Monitoring Aggression
The HALO can learn to detect abnormal noise levels. Therefore it can be used to monitor people so you can deal with incidents such as aggressive behaviour by customers or audiences within leisure venues; between school pupils, or staff.
The HALO device also comes preloaded with five spoken keyword phrases related to calls for help giving people added protection.
