Prepare the view
Check whether objects and gestures are resolvable.
A cigarette-like object or hand-to-mouth gesture can be ambiguous. Validate relevant item visibility and site conditions, then verify the event before deciding whether a no-smoking rule was breached.
Catalog workflow. Confirm detector availability, permitted use and event delivery for the proposed deployment. Website examples are illustrative.
Assess smoking observations

The Process
Small objects need clear evidence Keep follow-up tied to an observable event.
Check whether objects and gestures are resolvable.
Validate supported classes against food, tools and ordinary movements.
Review the sequence and applicable area rule.
Verify the situation and follow the established policy.
Illustrative demonstration
Example footage and simulated events explain the review workflow. They do not measure detector performance.
No matching events.
EXPLORE WHAT’S POSSIBLE
01 / 04 · SMOKING DETECTION
A restricted point adjoins a permitted area.
Example event: A candidate appears near the boundary.
Operator response: Check the exact location and object.
Practical value: Supports boundary-specific enforcement.
Discuss this capability02 / 04 · SMOKING DETECTION
Hand tools resemble smoking objects.
Example event: A hand-to-mouth sequence is flagged.
Operator response: Review the item and task.
Practical value: Avoids unsupported allegations.
Discuss this capability03 / 04 · SMOKING DETECTION
Rules vary between adjacent spaces.
Example event: A visible smoking candidate occurs.
Operator response: Confirm the zone and direct staff appropriately.
Practical value: Keeps guidance consistent.
Discuss this capability04 / 04 · SMOKING DETECTION
Use sufficient object detail.
Visibility: Distance, hands and haze can obscure evidence.
Configuration: Confirm supported cigarette/device classes.
Privacy: Do not infer substance use or health status.
Human review: Verify the object, activity and rule.
Discuss this capabilityFrequently asked questions
Flags visible objects or gestures consistent with smoking in a defined restricted area.
No. Eating or ordinary gestures may resemble it.
No. Visual appearance does not establish contents.
Only if the specific device/activity class is supported and validated.
No. Visible smoke and smoking activity are different tasks.
