The Problem
A vaping epidemic the cameras couldn't see.
Disposable vapes are now the No. 1 disciplinary issue in GCC secondary schools. CCTV stops at the bathroom door - and that's exactly where the problem lives.
Schools that tried importing devices ran into the same wall: long shipping, no local installer, false positives from oud and perfume, and overseas support lines that do not match Gulf school hours.
The Solution
FlySense®. One sensor. Six signals. Zero theatre.
Araya is the regional master partner for Soter Technologies' FlySense® - the AI-powered vape and bullying detector chosen by school districts worldwide. We supply, install, integrate and support every device on the ground.
Vape & THC detection
Detects nicotine, THC and masking aerosols - separating real vape events from perfume, oud and shisha residue.
Anti-bullying audio AI
Recognises shouting, distress and aggression without recording any conversation.
Tamper-resistant
Cover it, blow into it, spray it - the dashboard knows in seconds.
Real-time alerts
Pinpointed alerts to the exact device, room and time of incident.
Privacy-protecting
No video. No audio recording. No PII. Built for student privacy.
Indoor air quality
PM2.5, CO2, humidity and VOC monitoring in the same device.
Discreet ceiling sensor. Smarter than a security camera.
FlySense® is ceiling-mounted, PoE-powered and supported locally by Araya. Facilities teams get stable POE cable, one app, email alerts, and one supplier across every campus.

Real schools. Real results.
The Araya team delivered vape detectors that actually work. Within the first term we saw a sharp drop in incidents across our washrooms - the deterrence factor alone has changed student behaviour on campus.Eng. MasisSenior Facility Manager, EIS Schools
We rolled out Araya vape detectors across 3 campuses in a single coordinated project. The devices are dependable, the alerts are immediate, and the deterrence has been clear.AdilSenior Project Manager, ICS Schools
