Key features

Why choose the EYE Beacon

An ID tag your tracker can hear

It broadcasts its ID over Bluetooth LE, and a Bluetooth-enabled Teltonika tracker on the tractor unit, van or machine reports it when it is in range. That tells you which trailer, tool or attachment is close to which vehicle.

No GPS or SIM: the beacon's location is the location of the tracker that detects it.

EYE Beacon

Years on one sealed cell

8 yrsbattery at the default setting

At the default 2 dBm transmit power, the CR2450 cell lasts up to 8 years advertising every 5 seconds and up to 10 years at 10 seconds. If it ships hibernated, it stays switched off until a magnet wakes it, so the cell does not drain in storage.

The battery is not replaceable: at end of life the beacon is replaced.

Range: plan for the metal, not the field

10-15 minside metal bodies

Teltonika quotes up to 80 m in the open, but inside metal trailers and containers 10-15 m is the reliable figure. Transmit power is adjustable up to 8 dBm in the EYE APP.

Sealed for trailers and toolboxes

IP67dust-tight, immersion

IP67 against dust and immersion and IK10 against impact, at 56.6 x 38 x 13 mm and 18 g. Two mounting holes take screws, cable ties or a lanyard.

Fixings are not included.

Product details

Teltonika EYE Beacon Bluetooth ID tag

This listing is for one new Teltonika EYE Beacon (model BTSID1), order code BTSID17RCC02. It is a small, sealed Bluetooth Low Energy tag that you fix to a trailer, tool, attachment or piece of equipment. It has no GPS and no SIM: a Bluetooth-enabled Teltonika tracker or gateway within range picks it up, and the beacon's location is the location of whatever detected it.

Why choose the EYE Beacon

  • Years on one cell. The sealed CR2450 (600 mAh) lasts up to 8 years at Teltonika's defaults of a 5-second advertising interval and 2 dBm transmit power, and up to 10 years at a 10-second interval. Faster intervals shorten that: up to 4 years at 3 seconds and about 2 years at 1 second.
  • Know what is with the vehicle. The tracker on a tractor unit, van or machine reports which beacons are in range, so you can see which trailer, tool or attachment is close to which vehicle. On FM firmware that includes the EYE Beacon settings, the tracker can also flag a beacon as near, away or lost.
  • Sealed and tough. IP67 against dust and immersion and IK10 for impact, at 56.6 x 38 x 13 mm and 18 g, so it fits on a toolbox, inside a trailer or on an attachment.
  • Standard beacon formats. It advertises in Eddystone (the default), iBeacon or Teltonika's own format, which adds battery level and magnet status. Teltonika Networks devices support it too.
  • Magnet sensor built in. A Hall sensor detects a nearby magnet, which is how a hibernated beacon is woken and how it can report an open or closed status.
  • Range you can tune. Transmit power is adjustable from -14 to +8 dBm (2 dBm by default). Teltonika quotes up to 80 m in the open, but inside metal trailers and containers plan on 10-15 m.
  • Set up from a phone. The Teltonika EYE APP for Android and iOS configures the beacon and updates its firmware over Bluetooth, next to the device. The iOS app does not show beacons set to iBeacon mode.

What you get

  • One new Teltonika EYE Beacon (BTSID1), order code BTSID17RCC02.
  • No SIM card and no subscription: the beacon has no mobile or GPS connection.
  • Configure the beacon in the EYE APP, then add it to the tracker's beacon list in Teltonika Configurator so the tracker scans for it and reports it.
  • Screws, cable ties, lanyard and adhesive tape are not included.
  • Price shown includes UK VAT where applicable; non-UK checkout removes UK VAT where applicable and adds international postage.

Choose the EYE Beacon when you run, or are buying, a Bluetooth-enabled Teltonika tracker and want to identify trailers, tools or equipment near it. If it arrives hibernated (switched off to save the battery), hold any magnet against it until the LED blinks. The battery cannot be replaced, so the beacon is replaced at end of life. The EYE Beacon is not yet on our supported-device list; ask us before connecting it to Fleetalyse.

Before you order

Teltonika EYE Beacon: questions buyers ask

What does the EYE Beacon do?

It broadcasts a fixed ID over Bluetooth Low Energy every few seconds. A Bluetooth-enabled Teltonika tracker that hears it reports that the beacon is nearby, so you can tell which trailer, tool or attachment is close to which vehicle. It has no GPS, so its position is the position of the tracker that detects it.

Which trackers can read the EYE Beacon?

Bluetooth-enabled Teltonika trackers on the FM firmware platform, set up in Teltonika Configurator to scan for beacons, and Teltonika Networks devices. Near, away and lost proximity alerts need FM firmware that includes the EYE Beacon settings.

How long does the battery last, and can I replace it?

Teltonika quotes up to 8 years at its defaults (a 5-second interval at 2 dBm), up to 10 years at 10 seconds and about 2 years at 1 second. The CR2450 cell is sealed in and not replaceable, so the beacon is replaced at end of life. Teltonika warns that this type of cell performs poorly in extreme cold, and the working range is -20 °C to +60 °C.

Does the EYE Beacon need a SIM card or subscription?

No. It has no SIM and no mobile connection, and buying or using it needs no subscription. To see it remotely you need a Bluetooth-enabled Teltonika tracker or gateway in range and a platform that shows beacon data.

What does it cost?

£34.99 inc VAT (£29.16 ex VAT) with free standard UK delivery. No SIM or subscription is added at checkout.

Is there a discount for buying more than one?

Yes, automatically at the basket: 3% off 3+, 5% off 5+, 10% off 10+ units. The discount applies to the hardware in the same order, and it stacks with a referral or promotional code.

How quickly will it arrive?

UK delivery is free and goes by Royal Mail 24. Orders placed before 2pm Monday to Friday are normally dispatched the next working day, and Royal Mail 24 usually arrives the working day after that, so most UK orders land within two working days. Royal Mail aims at next-day delivery rather than guaranteeing it. Full details are on our delivery page.

What warranty does it carry, and what if it is not right for us?

Every unit is new, boxed Teltonika stock with the manufacturer's 24-month warranty. Consumers have 14 days to return an unused device under our returns policy, and business customers can talk to us before ordering if they want to check fit on one vehicle first.
