If the hunting area is in a very remote area 4 hrs away, will the wifi work to send messages and also, can it be that far away

If the remote area has cell coverage it likely will work. If not you're out of luck.

I haven't tried it from that distance. My receiver is in my shop, but that's 45-50 feet from my den.

I checked it at a distance of 15 feet and it worked. Since I sent this to my sister in another country I cannot test the range now. But in that country they may not be using it more than 25 feet. I know that they are very happy with this device.

Yes, it does work, I am hooked to it right now, or I couldn't pick up wifi. We live in RV resorts that only offer wifi and if u aren't really close to the signal, forget it. I have been hooked to mine now for 3 years. Don't expect really long distances, but a decent range on this thing for sure. Order a longer cord, so you can move it around inside or set it outside. Really have loved mine!!

This did not work for us, we had interference from the WIFI system in the house. Returned the Leapfrog wireless systems. The distance was maybe 30 feet with a straight shot, no walls or doors.

I have found mine to not work after about 8-10 feet away. I push the button at about 8 feet away and its unlocked before I get there. Its hard telling how old the batteries are that came with it, it may have more range with new batteries.

The motion detector range is about 15 feet to 20 feet but if you place one in barn the wireless signal should work no problem. Plus I believe Fortress makes a booster panel to increase the signal. Maybe you could mount the booster outside and that would work even better. My furthest sensor is about 80 feet and it works through my house over my garage and shed.

WiFi is "line of sight," and with these devices you can go considerably farther than 3,000 feet. If you can see (with your eyes, not electronically) your target location from your source location, it is very likely you can set up a connection using two of these devices. I live in a canyon, and I put one of these on a hill about 3,375 feet away and my WiFi detector "heard" it with around 35 dB. A second one of these devices on that hill sends the signal back down into the canyon floor 2,144 feet farther away. I also get a strong signal over two miles away.

It works within Wi-Fi range, should you get outside of range it will download when you return to range, if you leave the camera turned on.

It depends on the terrain that is between the two radios. I use mine in some rugged mountains. Sometimes we can only communicate with each other within a mile. That would be when both radios are off the top of the mountain with bends or valleys between the two. From mountain top to mountain top you can sometimes get upwards of 5 miles. On average, our party is usually within 2 miles of each other and we normally stay in contact.

In my experience the whisper works flawlessly to its max range I often forget I don't have my phone on me and leave the house while on a call before I realize I don't have the phone. As I am sure you are aware the 300' range is ideal conditions (no obstructions line of sight) which I have never experienced however it has a massive range and excellent quality. I regularly talk while driving my gator around and no one has ever had any problem hearing me and most never know what I am doing.

Well, if you live on the edge of a cliff on a very tall mountain and your friends are 15-20 miles away across the lake (with nothing between you but air), then yes you probably could have that conversation (I have on several occasions worked over 100 miles on UHF simplex with my handheld and the standard rubber duck antenna, but I was 9,500 feet up a mountain looking down at flat farm land in AZ). Otherwise, the other folks are correct. In "normal" conditions (and this is just a rough estimate), every watt on VHF/UHF FM equals approximately 1 mile in range, so your 1/2 watt FRS radios really only work about 1/2 mile, not the outlandish claim of 35 miles the manufacturers mark on their boxes.

I have an identical situation and it works very well at least 200 feet away. Hope this helps.

From a mobile device connected to your network. I have not been able to get it to work from a remote location but it will work when set up correctly

I haven't installed my unit outside yet. I have it plugged in inside the house. I rent camper spaces and the people in the camper about 500 feet away had to hook up a receiver to get good reception in there camper. I think if I had it installed outside they would pick it up fine. My neighbor has one and he picks it up good all over his farm and can get 2 bars half a mile away. He mounted his on top of his tallest barn. If you aren't able to get enough bars maybe you could put a receiver/router thing on (I don't know what they put on but it was something they already owned)

Hi Joseph,The range is better then 5' maybe 15 or so but if there is motion in the room between or behind the sending device it breaks the signal.
