I live up a hill and through the woods about 200 ft from the drive entrance. Will it work under those conditions?

Hi Randy, The unit works on "line of sight". I have one installed about 150 feet from the house and the change of elevation is about 15 feet from the sensor to the receiver in the front of the house. A good rule of thumb is if you can see the sensor from the house, it will probably work. Give it a try...you can always return it... Hey Wally

Mines about 200 feet. Straight line and receiver is upstairs. Put it closer to the house if you can.

I'm not sure. I called the company before I bought. They were great telling me if it would work in my environment. You sould give them a try.

Never had it up in the snow but you could mount it on a taller post. I did not get the range they claimed - about 400 - 500 ft is what I got. That was with a clear line of sight and the receiver mounted in a secod floor window facing the unit. I ended up going with a Dakota system. The mag sensor is mounted in or next to the drive way. Transmits 1400 feet - the length of our driveway.

I use my Puxing radio in a location that is mountainous and heavily wooded. At times I have a range of about 5- 10miles. So, the range is dependent upon the terrain.

Yes I believe it would :) don't quote me cuz we don't love around a lot of hills, but I think it has enough power if it is charged...and I know there is a way you make it faster, because my nieces have one and are older (my daughter is just 3) and my brother in law took off something to make it go faster! Hope that helps!

YES, my driveway is over 200 ft and has a steep slope. It works great, even on ice.

No it will not work for 30 feet away you would need a 100 feet one to do the trick.

I have densely wooded areas around my house as well that are within the roaming area and I have had no issues whatsoever. We have our monitor set up on the second floor of our house on an outside wall and it seems to have a really good, fairly consistent range that does not break when our dogs head into the woods. They have tested the boundary along every square inch of the 300 foot radius we set up and we've had no issues.

I have had them up to 300 yards from the base and they worked fine. We have hilly property, about 80 ft elevation difference at that distance.

The peak is about 10 ft but the sides are just 6 ft. You can drive a vehicle inside but if it is for a winter storage, as long as there is not any snow to worry about, it could work. Frame and roof structure NOT strong enough to hold up under heavy snow load

about 225 foot from where I start in the drive to gate. The gate works very will. But it could move a little faster. It better then getting out in the rain and cold to open the gate.

Probably not. My house sits kind of low with trees on side that it points toward. I got better reception in the winter when leaves were off trees and when I first got this antennae. I also have a hill with trees that is higher in elevation that causes issues. Picture will freeze and sound goes out a lot when trees are moving in the wind. Reception was definitely better the first 6 months I had this antennae. Hope this helps.

Sure it will won't be as fast as going down a hill. Hope this helps. You will have a fun don't let that stop you from buying it. Enjoy

It would probably work good, but the battery will likely die quick. It dies pretty quick when I drive in tall grass.

Mine has successfully worked at distances up to 75 feet. This is of coarse with no obstructions such as walls.

That is entirely dependent on line of sight and the geography. I can go out to 400 meters without an issue.

I have 500-ft with a couple of trees in the way at about mid distance and it works great.

Wish I could answer that for sure. I know this works better than any other unit I have bought and my mailbox is over 100' away, but, I do believe you cannot have big obstructions, such as a hill so not sure about buildings. You would not have direct line of sight? That might be questionable then unless you wanted to mount it outside.
