Know Your Air Quality in Real-Time

AirBeam Mini ($99) is perfect if you want a lightweight, affordable air quality monitor for personal use. It measures PM1 and PM2.5, weighs 4 ounces, and has a 14-hour battery life. AirBeam3 ($199) is ideal if you need comprehensive monitoring with on-board cellular and GPS and removable storage. It measures PM1, PM2.5, PM10, temperature, and humidity, weighs 6 ounces, and has a 17-hour battery life.

AirBeam devices are 'quite accurate' according to independent performance evaluations by South Coast Air Quality Management District's AQ-SPEC lab and researchers at NYU School of Medicine. AirBeam measurements closely match those from reference instruments.

Your AirBeam device (fully charged), a smartphone (iPhone 8+ or Android 8+ with Bluetooth 5.0), the free AirCasting app (available on iOS and Google Play), and WiFi or cellular connection for your phone.

Easy Setup in 2 Minutes or Less! The app walks you through step by step + access to a video tutorial library.

Yes, both devices are weather resistant. AirBeam3 has a weather resistant enclosure and AirBeam Mini includes a rain-proof rubber sleeve.

Both devices maintain Bluetooth connection within 10-20 feet of your smartphone.

Yes! Both devices have standalone mode where they can record data independently and sync later when reconnected to your phone.

You own all your data. Share it, CrowdSource it, export it, delete it, API it! It's all yours.

Yes, the AirCasting app has several privacy features: You can disable GPS tracking in settings; You can save data locally without syncing to servers; You can contribute data without sharing location; Fixed indoor sessions never log GPS coordinates.

Absolutely. You can export individual sessions or bulk data via the AirCasting app or website. Data comes in CSV format for analysis in Excel or other tools. Or use the free AirCasting API.

The AirCasting platform (including app) are free to use. No subscriptions, no data access fees, ever.

Yes, AirBeam devices are designed for mobile monitoring. When cycling or driving, face the intake and exhaust ports away from your direction of travel to minimize wind interference.

Buy two devices, place one inside and one outside, both configured for fixed sessions. Monitor real-time measurements to decide when to open or close windows.

The AirCasting app uses EPA standards with color coding: Green (0-12 μg/m³): Good air quality; Yellow (13-35 μg/m³): Moderate; Orange (36-55 μg/m³): Unhealthy for sensitive groups; Red (55-150 μg/m³): Unhealthy.

Yes! AirCasting Actions has everything you need to get started with air monitoring, whether you're an individual, an educator, or part of an organized community effort. Free research design tools and curricula available.

iPhone: iPhone 8 or newer with iOS (for standalone features). Android: Android 8 or newer with Bluetooth 5.0 and access to Google Play Store.

Yes, for mobile sessions you can record data offline and sync later over WiFi. Only map tiles won't load without internet connection.

AirBeam3 includes Bluetooth, WiFi, and cellular communications capability. To use AirBeam3 in cellular mode activate a 4G sim card and insert it into the AirBeam3’s sim card slot. You'll need a data plan (uses approximately 450MB per month).

AirBeam connects to standard 2.4 GHz WiFi networks. It cannot connect to 5GHz-only networks or networks with firewalls (like most public/enterprise WiFi).

Check these common issues: Are Bluetooth and Location Services turned on? Did you agree to all Bluetooth and Location Services requests when prompted. If not, uninstall/reinstall and agree to all permission requests. Is the AirBeam fully charged?

Common causes: Trying to connect to a 5GHz WiFi network or a WiFi network that requires authentication through a web browser; Incorrect WiFi password; AirBeam not fully charged.

If your AirBeam loses power the internal battery will continue operation for 24+ hours. If the battery has run down, simply plug your AirBeam back in and it will resume streaming automatically after 3 minutes. If you lose cellular or WiFi connectivity, simply restore connectivity and your AirBeam will resume streaming.
