Review smoking candidates in restricted areas

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.

The Process

How It Works

Small objects need clear evidence Keep follow-up tied to an observable event.

01

Prepare the view

Check whether objects and gestures are resolvable.

02

Assess the observation

Validate supported classes against food, tools and ordinary movements.

03

Review the evidence

Review the sequence and applicable area rule.

04

Choose a response

Verify the situation and follow the established policy.

Does it cover vaping?

Only if the specific device/activity class is supported and validated.
