Blue Charm Beacons BC04P-MultiBeacon: Long Range BLE iBeacon (300m), IP67, Motion Sensor

Overview

Meet the BC04P-MultiBeacon from Blue Charm Beacons — a rugged, long-range BLE beacon engineered for reliability in demanding environments. Its IP67 rating protects it against dust and water, while an adjustable movement sensor opens up flexible broadcasting behavior. This beacon is designed to adapt to your space, whether you’re deploying location-based prompts, asset tracking, or smart home automations.

Key capabilities

• Broadcast range varies by scan method: 0.2–100 meters using iBeacon legacy, 300 meters with a PHY-coded scanner, and up to 900 meters with long-range PHY-coded scanning.
• TX power offers an expansive spread from -40 dBm up to +8 dBm for precise control over signal reach and energy use.
• Built-in movement sensor can trigger broadcasts on motion or emit a modified UUID/protocol after movement is detected.
• Supports multiple formats: iBeacon, Eddystone TLM (with battery, temperature, and count data), Eddystone URL, and Eddystone UID. Five broadcast slots (0–4) allow varied configurations.

• Comprehensive setup guidance is available with step-by-step instructions and screenshots in the Quick Start Guide on our site.
• Compatibility spans all BLE-capable smartphones and our BLE gateway (BCG04); it also integrates with Home Assistant for smart setups.
• Note: This model does not broadcast Eddystone URL URLs; the related service has been discontinued.

Battery, maintenance, and app support

• 4-year battery life with CR2477 included; the battery is replaceable when needed.
• Real-time battery monitoring via the KBeaconPro app or through scan/broadcast data.
• Pro firmware unlocks additional configuration options for advanced deployments.

Real-world use scenarios

Think of spaces where long-range, reliable beacons can enhance awareness and automation without constant maintenance. In retail, trigger promotions as customers move through zones. In warehouses, track assets over large footprints with confidence. At home or in events, pair the beacon with smart hubs to automate lighting, alerts, or room-based actions as people approach.

What this means for you

• Flexible range and broadcasting options help tailor coverage to your layout.
• Rugged, water-resistant design supports harsher environments without frequent replacements.
• Motion-triggered broadcasting adds a layer of context-aware communication without relying on constant signals.

Overall, the BC04P-MultiBeacon offers a balance of reach, resilience, and configurability. Consider how the range, formats, and motion features could map to your space and workflows, keeping in mind that benefits are possible outcomes rather than guarantees.
