World’s Best Alarm Beacon!
How does the OmniBeacon™Work?
You’ve just purchased the best! The OmniSite OmniBeacon™
combines a wireless cellular transmitter, LED light source, and
alarm siren into one convenient weather protected package.
No matter your location, receive alerts from your equipment
when you need it most.
The OmniBeacon™ can be congured to work for you in two
different modes:
(1) Powered by our GuardDog Intelligent Website
(2) Independent text messaging mode
Introduction

8
When congured in this way, the OmniBeaconTM will report
events to the GuardDog website. GuardDog can be told to
redistribute alarm events to any number of users via text
messaging, email, or computer simulated voice message.
You can also login to see your device on a Google map and
GuardDog will keep a 2 year history of all events. For more
information on how to setup and use this mode see page 37.
OPTION 1 | GuardDog Intelligent Website

Operating Modes

OPTION 2 | Text Messaging Backup
If the OmniBeacon™ CANNOT CONNECT to the GuardDog
website for any reason, then it can be congured to directly
send text messages to (3) phone numbers, and then bypass the
GuardDog website.
In this mode, the OmniBeacon sends the text messages
and does not rely on the GuardDog website to relay alarm
information.
This is an “industry rst” feature brought to you by OmniSite
providing peace of mind that you always receive critical alarms.
For more information on how to setup and use this mode,
see page 42.
