Quiet safety for
public washrooms.
Brave Sensor detects overdoses in seconds — without cameras, audio, or recordings — so library staff can respond in time.
Staff alerted.
Trusted by library systems and harm-reduction partners
How it works.
A scenario: 11:47pm, a patron is in the washroom too long.
Detect
Ceiling-mounted sensor reads motion and stillness in a single washroom stall. No camera. No microphone.
Alert
If movement stops longer than the threshold, staff phones ring and a dashboard card lights up. Median response: under 90 seconds.
Respond
Staff check the washroom and use naloxone if needed. Brave logs the event so your team can see what worked.
What we don’t do
Safety doesn’t have to mean surveillance.
Brave was built with harm-reduction workers, not against patrons. The sensor sees motion. That’s it. Library washrooms remain private.
- No cameras
- No audio
- No video recording
- No patron identification
- No facial recognition
- No data sold or shared
Case study
“Three people are alive today because of Brave. That’s not a metric — that’s our staff getting to them in time.”
Library leaders, in their own words.
“We were nervous about installing tech in a washroom. Brave was the only vendor who led with privacy.”
“Our staff feel safer knowing they’ll get there in time. That changes how the whole branch operates.”
For procurement teams
Questions library buyers ask.
How is Brave priced?+
Per-sensor annual subscription, billed yearly. Volume discounts for systems with multiple branches. Pricing details on request — we tailor to your branch count and budget cycle.
What does installation require?+
Wi-Fi or cellular. Sensor mounts to the ceiling with a screw. A typical branch is fully installed in under an hour. We provide install guides and remote support.
Who owns the data?+
You do. Brave stores only motion-event timestamps and aggregate stats. No identifiable patron data, ever. Data residency: Canadian by default.
Are you SOC 2 / privacy compliant?+
Yes. Brave operates under Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA) and supports MFIPPA-compliant deployments. SOC 2 documentation available under NDA.
Do you support RFP processes?+
Yes. We provide a standard RFP response package, references, security questionnaire answers, and a sample contract. Email libraries@brave.coop to request.
Can I see references?+
