Would this be appropriate for whale and dolphin watching about 1000' off shore from our 7th floor condo?

Whales, yes. Dolphins, maybe.I have observed wildlife from 500-600 yards and the image is clear.

Yes, it captures movement of large warm bodies (human, deer, fox) up to 30 feet away. The motion it ignores is swaying birdfeeders as it seems to be a combined thermal/motion sensor.

It depends on how far under water you are talking about. You have to remember the deeper you go the the more the light levels change. This would change how the cards register in the camera meter. Less than 20' it's probably okay.

slim to none .. you are limited to 100 meters (330 Feet) before you need a Repeater/Router to extend it more than that.. so at a 1000ft you would need to install 2 Repeaters .. if it was me and i had to go 1000ft i would use Fiber .. there are Cat5/6 to fiber converters that are fairly cheap, and there is direct burial fiber cable that is cheap enough too .. using fiber @ 1000ft would be no problem then.

It will depend on the length of the dock. I have one installed on a covered area behind my house. The sensor range to trigger the ultrasonic sounds and strobe light work well at 28 feet in my application. I am pleased with the results I have obtained in my application. The manufacturer will work with you to improve the application and settings if necessary. I recommend the product!

I would imagine there would be distance limitations with the device. Experiment!

Absolutely! My backyard is over 150' deep. We sit on the back porch watching birds and animals.

Our condo is just over 1000 Sq Ft, it works throughout the house and outside on our decks. The signal gets a little weak at the furthest place in the house, but it still works great. We have never been disappointed in the range.

Are you going to whale watch in Alaska? If that is your question, then yes! These binoculars will serve that purpose well. I use them while standing bridge watches in the Navy, and I can spot small ships that are hull-down on the horizon (about 12 miles away).

I have used mine up to 150 ft with no problem, I would highly recommend that you get the laser detector to go with it though. It gets hard to see the laser the farther you get but with the laser detector it is easy!

I have the 12 megapixel camera and I don't think I would take it down more than 25 ft. However, I thought I read that one of the newer models was good for about 50 some feet. They are great little cameras. I took mine to Guadalupe Island for some great white shark "cage diving" and got some fantastic pics!

Yes... we have a TV in our living room and one in our bedroom and they both work off of our Orca outdoor antenna. My name is LouAnn Peterson Leischer.

I haven't tried it, but I believe it would work in water of depths around one to two feet. Sounds like a fun time. Let know who it works

We use ours from our deck or inside the house to watch birds and activities on a bay off of Puget Sound. We have ours mounted on a taller tripod than the one that comes with it. It seems to have clear images from a mile or so away. It is ideal for our purposes.

Yes, but with some cautions. I've done a fair amount of whale watching of gray whales migrating along the California coast. The problem with using any kind of high power spotting scope is that they have a narrow field of view and you usually don't know exactly where to point it to see where they will next break the surface. I've had better luck with binoculars because you can move them much more quickly. With any spotting scope, use it at low power and mount it on a tripod with a video head that allows you to quickly move it. If you're in Hawaii watching pods that don't move so quickly this will be a better solution.

Yes, have to be careful of cable footage to your device. Up to 75 ft worked fine

It's reliable. I have two on my sailboat as 'security cameras' I can keep track or anyone in front which is not visible by window and the back can actually see waves from passing boats going too fast. For this purpose, would recommend a 7" monitor to see more. Have experimented with different cameras and the small size does limit the view. They are like cool little postcards though the focus and color is really good. The larger monitor makes the price soar, however.
