A rugged, configurable area monitor with industry-leading 15-week battery life, up to 7-gas simultaneous detection, and Bluetooth Mesh connectivity — built for temporary worksites, confined space entry, and turnaround operations.
The Crowcon DetectiveIQ is a configurable multi-gas area monitor purpose-built for the demands of dynamic and temporary worksites — including turnaround and shutdown procedures, hot work maintenance, confined space entry, and hazardous environments where fixed detectors are impractical. With an industry-leading battery life of over 100 days in diffusion mode, simultaneous detection of up to 7 gases, and a modular sensor tray system, the DetectiveIQ keeps worksites protected without constant maintenance intervention. It supports fenceline perimeter deployment with up to 25 interconnected devices per group, and Bluetooth Mesh alarm passing across up to 250 devices covering 2.5 km per group. An optional pumped module extends gas sampling up to 30m. Fully integrated into the Crowcon Connect cloud platform, DetectiveIQ provides real-time alarms, compliance dashboards, location tracking, and asset management — delivering a complete portable safety ecosystem for the Alberta oilfield.
