What is WYND?

WYND Sentry is a monitoring device designed to detect smoking and excessive noise in indoor spaces. It uses sensors to identify cigarette smoke, marijuana, cigars, and vapour, then alerts property managers or owners when these activities occur. The tool is primarily aimed at landlords, property management companies, and facility operators who need to enforce no-smoking policies and protect their properties from smoke damage. WYND operates on a freemium model, meaning basic monitoring is available without charge, though premium features may require payment. The device connects to a network and sends real-time alerts when smoke or noise thresholds are exceeded, helping reduce property damage and maintain building standards.
