Technical Performance: Where It Actually Matters

Detection Accuracy Comparison:

• Vape Guardian: 94% alert accuracy with 14,540 daily alerts across 2,400+ sensors
• Premium competitors typically claim 90-95% accuracy but often lack transparent reporting

The reasoning behind highlighting this: Your 94% accuracy rate is backed by real-world data from over 400 schools. This isn't lab testing or theoretical performance - it's proven field results. Premium systems often market higher accuracy rates but can't demonstrate the same scale of real-world validation.

Detection Capabilities:

• Vape Guardian: Detects vape, THC, Spice, smoke, and occupancy
• Many premium systems: Often limited to basic vape detection with THC as an expensive add-on

Vape Guardian offers comprehensive detection that competitors charge premium prices for as separate modules.

Support Structure: Vape Guardian's UK-based support handling everything directly versus premium competitors often outsourcing support creates a quality and responsiveness advantage worth noting.

Scalability: The flat-rate Wi-Fi pricing model (£19.99 regardless of devices or alerts) versus per-device pricing from competitors becomes increasingly valuable at scale.
