how far can the camera's be from the receiver for outdoor use?

I never tried to see how far the signal would actually reach, but one of the cameras is located on the back corner of my 48' long house under the eave, and the other is located on the front corner of my house on the same side pointed in another direction, also mounted under the eave of the roof. The monitor/lcd screen is located by a window in a computer room about 15' from the camera in the back, and about 25' from the camera in the front. The reception is indicated by a status bar ( one line -five lines, like a cell phone I guess ) on the screen for each camera. The closest camera in the back shows four bars, the one in the front shows three bars. The antennas on the cameras were moved ( they spin around ) until optimum reception was found.

Maximum distance for "most" wifi cameras is 150'. The signal depletes or reduces over distance and any objects in between camera & receiver diminishes the signal. The user manual does not specify.

That is a very good question. The Camera's are not equipped to put batteries in. You could try a battery powered adapter. The instructions say the camera's have a range of 40 feet. I have found that my reception is not constant because of the metal in the house. They are about 30 and 20 feet and I get interruptions from the position I installed them and frequency is also interrupted by cell phones sometimes and power tools. I would enjoy knowing how you make out because I have places I would like to extend my range for viewing, if you try it..

We have used the camera for 3 months for naps and nighttime. We have an old lathe-and-plaster house, so the walls are much denser than a newer house. The baby's camera is in the far corner of the house and we can get reception 4 rooms away (about 40 feet) but no further. There is a beep when you lose reception so you always know without looking if it's working. The furthest I've gone is 150 feet outside and it's been fine. Unless the whole house is between me and the camera.

If the camera and receiver are in a protected location where they will not get wet, it can be used outdoors. Examples would be: under the eaves by a front door, under eaves in front of garage, or a covered porch or patio. However, there are two challenges: 1) if you mount the receiver outside, you would have to run the AV cables from receiver to monitor, which would most likely be inside, requiring a longer cable, 2) if you put the camera outside and the receiver inside, you would probably not get a real clear picture, because the signal would have to go through the walls/windows.

I depends. In my house, I have one camera up to 80 Ft away from the monitor without any reception issues even with some walls between them.

The camera will not trigger that far away. I would say 60 feet is the max. However the field of vision is much further than that. You would get clear pictures out to 150 feet I would estimate.

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.

Yes, but you should know its limitations. You will only be able to control the camera when it is facing you at a max range of about 10ft. If you want a longer range, get a rf remote shutter release.

Do you have a plug that is nearby? I have mine mounted on the side of my deck and I use the outdoor outlet that's on the back porch. It's about 10 feet away from the camera so I purchased a 10', 12V extension cable for the camera.

I had the same question so I moved the camera around the house. So far, walking down hallways, etc., it works at about 70 feet. I am very pleased with that.

Yes! the monitor and camera can be up to 300 ft, I believe, away from each other.

Michele, you should have no problem with that distance. I have used it the camera as close as 3" and as far as 50 yards.Good luck.

I have used the wireless aspect of the camera at ranges of about 100 feet without problems. I have a WAP installed in my lake cottage and use one of the cameras to keep an eye on my boat dock which is at a range of about 100 feet or so.

we only used the supplied cables. I think you may need a booster to extend cable that far. I would consider wireless if there is power available to the camera.

The point is to hide the receiver box near by....and there really is not way to lock it unless you enclose it in some sort of box. My receive box is stashed in a bush about 10 yards from my camera to ensure the box is in range and receive the pics. Even with the "new" improved model...I still found the distance to be very disappointing....15 yards in the woods was the max distance...but it is still useful against theft if hidden near by.
