What is the range of the wifi cameras from DVR?

Wireless Range: Up to 150ft (46m) indoor/450ft (137m) outdoor Taken from Lorex website details located at: http://www.lorextechnology.com/Wireless-camera-system/Wireless-security-camera-system-for-home-or-business/prod330046.p

There is no such thing as a straight shot when wifi is involved. Range depends on a homes construction. If you want range this is not the item for you. Find a unit that has an external antenna. Even with an external antenna you would require a strong signal that is no more than 100 feet away for data transfer to work fluidly (without dropouts).

I don't have exact range but I was worried about it before I purchase it reading the descriptions. I live in a two story house and I have my camera up in my girls room and I can take the video receiver anywhere in the house and it works. I don't have a huge house about 1600 square feet but did not have problems downstairs and through walls. I see other people had problems with this so it probably depends how thick your walls are...

No this DVR is not wireless. You will need to get a wireless receiver that is compatible with your cameras and then connect the receiver to the DVR using the RCA plug type cables. Usually when you buy the wireless cameras a receiver comes with them.

No. They come with a "twin" cable which carries signal and power. No Ethernet to cameras. DVR uses Ethernet to connect to LAN.

I do not recommend using any of these wireless cameras but instead find far better performance by connecting to my router via Ethernet cable. WiFi just can't keep up. Most of the other folks having issues probably would do better by running an Ethernet cable to the camera.

How weird, i have the same camera and its 20 ft away from router. And works fine. Did you check if there is wifi signal?

These cameras are wired. It's a pain, but the wireless ones were interfering with my wifi.

I had the problem before but I upgraded my wifi to fastest one, instead 300 MBPS (regular speed) on the FIOS router/wifi I install an ASUS which reach up to 650 MBPS on the wi fi connections for all my wi fi d link cameras, Keep in mind in you choose HD cameras this is the route that you need to go. (make sure you direct the cameras to the proper wifi access point.

No, the cameras are not wireless. When I received the dvr, the hard drive was bad. The unit was replaced and the drive went down again shortly after the warranty expired. I have four cabeled cameras mounted that are completely useless. I will not be purchasing anything bearing the name Zmodo again. Have a nice day!

Wifi viewing distance is about 40 yards. But you can control the quad copter out of sight.

I am not familiar with that DVR. I suggest that you refer to the Ubiquity Forum. These Cameras do not follow the typical standards that are used by most Network cameras that you see in the marketplace. They are really made to operate with Ubiquity's DVR software. http://forum.ubnt.com/forumdisplay.php?f=70

Thanks for your question. Correct, the camera supports 2.4 Ghz b/g/n. At the very highest settings, the camera uses slightly over 4 mb of bandwidth. Typical settings and factory defaults are less than that.Our cameras have the maximum legal output power on the 2.4 GHz signal, which allows up to 200 ft outdoors line of sight with no obstructions, or 75 ft through multiple sheet rock walls.The maximum distance is dependent on the kinds of walls and objects that are between your wireless router antenna and your camera. One easy test for determining the maximum recommended distance is by using a laptop at the camera location. If your laptop shows at least 80% (4 or 5 bars) signal strength at that exact same location then the camera should be ok too. Any less than that may be unreliable, so you may want to move your router or the camera, or adjust the angle of your router's antennas. Keep in mind that the wireless signal travels easily through common building materials such as wood, glass, sheet rock, and vinyl siding, but does not go at all through metal. If there are any big metal objects such as a fridge, filling cabinet, or HVAC ducting in between the Wi-Fi router and the camera, try to reposition either the camera or the router so that the metal object doesn't block the signal. Also, many microwave ovens and older 2.4GHz cordless phones may interfere with all Wi-Fi networking while in operation. Using a laptop you may not notice a pause, but with a camera that transmits or records video continuously any interruption will be much more obvious. Nearby Bluetooth devices such as cell phone headsets, Playstation game controllers, or a wireless keyboard and mouse can also interfere with wireless networks if the devices are too close. The best placement for a wireless router is in an area that is higher up and free of nearby clutter, for example on top of a wooden book shelf .

I have all four cameras posted outside, although all are under eaves, and they work fine. There is the ability to zoom in on the images once they are captured on the dvr.

We live in a large, old house that has thick walls which dampen the wireless signal to the point that we finally had to install routers on the main level and upstairs in order to get serviceable speed on our devices. The camera is in my son's room upstairs, and the signal broadcasts without degradation of fidelity throughout the entire house, including the basement. While I have not subjected the camera to rigorous testing, based on the above, I would surmise that it has pretty good range.

We have some more similar cameras and they are running with the WiFi there. I also smart phone, tablets, etc., with the Wifi. I analized it from the router side, but I could not see any responses from the camera WiFi with either DHCP or fix address setting. It works fine with a LAN cable. The camera itself is fine and I am using it with a LAN wire setting now.

If your DVR provides 48V on the ethernet port you plug this camera in to, you'll be OK. Otherwise you'll need a PoE injector.
