EYE Beacon
Teltonika EYE Beacon provides BLE identification and proximity tracking with IP67 protection. Magnet detection depends on hardware revision. Up to 10 years battery life at the stated settings. Request a B2B quote and compatibility check.
Teltonika EYE Beacon — IP67 BLE ID Beacon for Asset Traceability, Driver ID and Indoor Tracking
The Teltonika EYE Beacon is Teltonika's compact Bluetooth Low Energy ID beacon — the simpler, longer-life companion to the EYE Sensor, designed for applications where asset traceability, proximity detection, driver identification and indoor location tracking are the priority rather than environmental sensor monitoring. Each EYE Beacon broadcasts a unique ID wirelessly via BLE, which is picked up by nearby compatible Teltonika GPS trackers or BLE gateways, enabling the location and proximity of any asset, person or vehicle to be tracked without GPS on the beacon itself.
The EYE Beacon has an IP67 casing and screw, tape, strap and keychain mounting options. Magnet detection is available on newer hardware revisions. It does not provide the EYE Sensor's accelerometer, temperature or humidity measurements.
As an official Teltonika distributor in the UK, Tracking Hardware UK stocks the EYE Beacon and ships directly from our London warehouse — with trade pricing available for telematics service providers, fleet operators and resellers.
Key Features
Battery life — up to 10 years at 2 dBm and a 10-second advertising interval; the default 5-second setting is rated at 8 years. Actual life depends on operating conditions. The internal battery is not replaceable.
IP67 waterproof and dustproof — robust impact-resistant casing rated to IP67 for reliable operation in logistics yards, construction sites, warehouses, applications within the specified -20°C to +60°C operating range
Unique BLE ID broadcasting — each EYE Beacon has a unique identification number broadcast wirelessly via BLE — enabling individual asset, vehicle or person identification without physical contact
iBeacon, Eddystone and custom data protocols — supports all major BLE advertising protocols for compatibility with Teltonika trackers, third-party gateways and a wide range of fleet management and indoor positioning platforms
Magnet detection — supported on newer hardware revisions for door-status applications using a suitable magnet, receiver and configuration. Confirm the supplied revision before ordering.
Movement monitoring — beacon presence can support tracking of a moving asset; an accelerometer is not specified for EYE Beacon. Choose EYE Sensor when measured movement or tilt data is needed.
Proximity event detection — compatible Teltonika trackers generate proximity events based on EYE Beacon signal strength, determining Near and Away zones for asset and cargo location management — triggering lost and found events when beacons move beyond configured range
Detection by filters — advanced Teltonika firmware event scenarios filter EYE Beacon detections by specific criteria for targeted monitoring and alert management
Driver identification — each beacon's unique ID can be used for configured driver identification — the tracker detects the driver's beacon and logs their ID alongside all journey and telematics data without any manual input
Four mounting options — screws, adhesive tape, zip ties and keychain attachment for flexible deployment on tools, trailers, containers, cargo, key fobs and equipment
Bluetooth 4.2 compliant, Bluetooth 5.2 certified — receiver and firmware support must be checked for the required functions
Mobile app configuration — configured quickly and easily via the Teltonika EYE mobile app on Android or iOS
BLE range — the manufacturer specification is up to 80 metres; actual coverage depends on mounting, obstructions and radio conditions.
Customisable with logo — custom logo printing available on request for branded fleet deployments
EYE Beacon vs EYE Sensor — Which Should You Choose?
The EYE Beacon is the simpler, longer-life option — focused on unique ID broadcasting, proximity detection, driver identification, indoor tracking and magnet detection on supported hardware revisions. Battery life of up to 10 years makes it ideal for permanent deployment on tools, trailers and equipment. The EYE Sensor adds built-in temperature and humidity monitoring alongside the accelerometer and magnet detection — making it the better choice when cargo condition data is required alongside location, such as cold chain monitoring or humidity-sensitive goods tracking. Choose the EYE Beacon for traceability and identification. Choose the EYE Sensor when environmental monitoring is needed.
Compatible Teltonika Trackers
Use a Teltonika tracker or gateway with documented EYE support. Confirm the exact model, firmware, enabled Bluetooth settings and platform decoding before deployment; Bluetooth version alone does not establish support for every feature.
Typical Use Cases
Ideal for asset and tool traceability in construction, logistics and field service operations, driver identification without key fob or iButton for automated journey attribution, trailer and container door open and close monitoring using magnet detection, indoor asset and inventory tracking in warehouses, hospitals and transport hubs, delivery package and cargo tracking for last-mile logistics, agriculture tractor attachment and implement monitoring, access control and personnel tracking in industrial facilities, and any application requiring a long-life low-maintenance BLE proximity and ID beacon.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the EYE Beacon and the EYE Sensor?
The EYE Beacon focuses on unique ID broadcasting, proximity detection and magnet detection on supported hardware revisions — with up to 10 years battery life. The EYE Sensor adds built-in temperature and humidity sensors alongside the accelerometer and magnet detection — the better choice when cargo condition monitoring is required. Both are IP67 waterproof and use the same Teltonika EYE mobile app for configuration.
How does the EYE Beacon work for driver identification?
Each EYE Beacon broadcasts a unique ID via BLE. When a driver carries a beacon as a key fob or lanyard, the compatible Teltonika tracker detects it on ignition and automatically logs the driver ID alongside all journey and telematics data — no manual card swipe or button press required.
How long does the EYE Beacon battery last?
The EYE Beacon battery lasts up to 10 years depending on advertising interval and operating conditions — making it one of the longest-life BLE beacons available. Advertising interval can be configured via the Teltonika EYE mobile app to balance battery life against detection responsiveness.
Can the EYE Beacon detect trailer door events?
Door-status monitoring requires a hardware revision with magnet detection, a suitable magnet and a configured compatible receiver/platform. Confirm this feature on the supplied EYE Beacon before deployment; it is not available on every revision.
