if the reception is line of sight then keeping my monitor in my upstairs bedroom in my townhome probably won't work will it ?

hello. I have the monitor downstairs and one camera upstairs. It works fine. Hope this helps you, I like my system.

Mine worked from 1st floor to 2nd floor without direct line of sight. However, both cameras no longer work and customer service is awful.

I think it will work Mary, try it. I have my cameras in my Great room and the monitor in the master bedroom, it works fine. My picture is a little blurry now on the monitor and I've only had the system for two years, something to consider.

I have two outdoor cameras with the monitor indoors in my den reception is very good.

Probably not. This thing is junk. Can barely get a signal in the next room.

It most certainly will. There is no need to have the receiver in "line of sight." I own two of these and have both receivers mounted behind the TVs.

Works well in my front room, about 30 feet away. Further into my bedroom, it does not work. Too many walls. I would think that if you get too far away, you could not see your monitor LOL

If you have the room you sure can, thats how i have mine mounted. Im guessing you loose some signal but im close enough to the city that it was noticable for me.

Not in my case in the bedroom. The tv is on a bookcase in front of a window facing east. But the antenna works best fixed to the WALL, above the doorway to my bathroom, which faces south. I've tried several times, and it just doesn't work well in the window. It DOES work better in the window in my den; the window in my den faces SOUTH. Most of the towers are about 20 - 30 miles SOUTH of me.

I don't think that will be a problem for you at all. We have a smaller house but live on several acres and I have been probably 20-30 yards away and still had reception. Just watch the battery. Keep it plugged in unless you need to walk off

You will get better reception. Mine is working fine in the middle of the room. You can also buy more cable to get it closer to a window.

This would depend on your wifi wireless service. I have one 6 ft from monitor and the other about 20 ft. away and they work fine.

Works fine for me with direct line of sight. I have the receiver plugged into the front of my computer, so I can't speak to other setups.

Yes, however, I have had great luck with the antenna just velcroed to the wall behind the tv or dresser, you may not need to reach the window for good reception.

I don't know, but I understand that there is limited range. So if your neighbor's mailbox is 100ft from your receiver, you should be ok. If it did go off, you could move your receiver further away in your house.

Transmitting the video signal to another level isn't really any different from going from one room to another... The critical factor is the vertical distance and the number of walls it must pass through. If the location of the receiving set is close to being underneath and the signal must just pass thru the floor, you should be fine. But a floor and several walls will likely degrade the signal a bit. Moving the antenna on the receiving unit or just moving it slightly can make a big difference. The distance claimed in the GE description is for a clear signal, no way will you get that with walls etc. but 50 feet and a wall or two is most likely going to be OK. Also, be aware that TV's, monitors, phones etc can block/disrupt as well. Good Luck

Based on my experience with the device I do not believe you will be able to do that. It has a limited range. I simply use it to avoid the cable within a room. I tried going from one room at one end of the house to a room at the other end without too much success. It seems to be very sensitive to anything between the antennas, walls, furniture etc.

Yes. You can even be in a different room. It uses raido waves so line of sight isn't an issue.

Thanks for the feedback Frank, I appreciate it.So in theory, the monitor should be able to get OTA signals, but possibly due to weak signal reach, it won't, hence the need for an antenna... Makes sense.

You can try to get a good enough signal by keeping it by the tv which is possible if you're right in the city on a top floor of a building. If that works, great! But if it doesn't, you'll need to put it by the window and trail the cord. Luckily, the cord should be long enough. Mine is about 4 feet away and I have the cord going up to the ceiling and then down to the window so we're not walking over it.
