Overview
The Ubiquiti UP-AirQuality is a UniFi Protect environmental sensor that combines air quality monitoring with real-time vape detection. It measures CO2, particulate matter, VOC, NOx, temperature, and humidity, while providing sensor readings through an Ethernet connection.
Air Quality Monitoring
The sensor monitors CO2, PM1, PM2.5, PM4, PM10, VOC, NOx, and air quality index values. It also provides a dedicated vape index for detecting aerosol patterns associated with vapor and e-cigarette emissions. Sensor readings are sampled at 1 Hz.
Connectivity and Power
The UP-AirQuality provides one 10/100 MbE RJ45 port and uses PoE for both network connectivity and power. It supports an input voltage range of 37–57V and has a maximum power consumption of 2.2W.
Installation
The sensor supports wall, ceiling, and table mounting and is designed for indoor use. Its recommended operating environment is 10–35°C with 10–90% non-condensing humidity.
Key Features
- Real-time CO2, particulate matter, VOC, NOx, and air quality monitoring
- Integrated vape detection with dedicated vape index
- Temperature and relative humidity sensors
- PoE connectivity through a 10/100 MbE RJ45 port
- UniFi Protect management and monitoring
Applications
The UP-AirQuality is designed for indoor environments where centralized monitoring of air conditions and vape activity is required. Ubiquiti identifies applications including schools, workplaces, hospitality environments, and areas such as restrooms and locker rooms where cameras may not be appropriate.
DC Supplies Product Note
The UP-AirQuality requires PoE network connectivity and is managed through UniFi Protect. Deployment should therefore account for both compatible PoE infrastructure and the required UniFi Protect software version.
