Understanding the Process of Installing Beacons

In this article, you will learn the process of installing beacons and determining the proper placement of the beacons to ensure coverage.

Only Admins and Installers will be able to add or remove beacons onsite. To change user permissions, refer to the How to Add, Edit or Remove Users article for assistance.

Beacons broadcast in a radius, so the ideal location for a beacon is the exact center of any room it is installed. In most cases, that isn't possible due to the room layout and furniture, so finding a suitable location is key. Testing, scanning, and firing alerts to ensure alert accuracy is paramount when installing beacons. This is why we always recommend that our professional installation technicians survey the property prior to an installation.

Common examples of beacon placements include closets, sinks, bed frames, cabinets, and dressers. While not required, it is recommended to keep the beacon out of sight from the guests to avoid tampering and ensure it does not disturb their experience in the room.
