What is the wireless range of this camera? Will it work reliably in an area with about half of the wireless signal strength?

Haven't cataloged field strengths, but have connected and received video from the camera when it was about 50 feet from the wi-fi router (measuring through the house/walls/frame/etc.), cell phone wi-fi meter app measured -63 dBm.

Only if you run an LAN cable out to the camera from a router. Without wireless, no signal... And of course it needs to be plugged in.

We just tested ours last night for you, the camera inside the house and myself with the monitor outside. I reached about 200' before I ran out of signal. At the 180' area it would work intermittently.

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.

All I know is the signal is by the included cables from receiver to a monitor. I don't know of any way to catch the wireless signal from camera to another device. My model is not intended for internet or cell use.

Total clear is about 300' but you have to derate that for walls and other obstructions. My camera in my shed is about 100' away and I have no problem connecting or streaming. If necessary, buy a dual band router with the new Wireless AC protocol. It's much faster than Wireless N and has a better range. Install a Wireless AC bridge in your barn and run an ethernet cable to your camera. That would solve any problem if you are greater than 300' away. The camera could work as far as 1000 ft with the Wireless AC.

It is not designed for outdoors and will fail because of the moisture. It is only rated to 95% humidity. If you live in a place like Kona, Hawaii then yes, otherwise no. Unfortunately wireless outdoor cameras are several hundred dollars (like 700). I looked as I would prefer it be outside as well.

I have these cameras located around my facility... they are very sensitive to interference from other wifi signals and would drop out and reconnect frequently... I wound up replacing the antennas with directional panel antennas pointed at the wifi access point locations and they now work great...

I don't believe that will work. The only way it would is your wifi has a 10 mile plus signal range. The camera needs to connect to wifi to then to the internet

I had a similar problem. I moved the camera closer to the wireless modem and the problem was solved. I believe the wireless range is very limited.

Based on the item description and the features of this camera on this listing, I believe this camera is a regular trail camera instead of a wireless one. The model of the wireless camera is Ltl-5210ME. Please search it by ASIN B00BN7SXSA.

The camera communicates wirelessly with the monitor. There is no wire connection, so the effective distance may be limited. I find about 75 feet to be the max. Highly functional camera because it is portable and can be moved from place to place. Usually good reception at night. Overall, we depend on this camera to watch our property.

I had a WiFi access point and one of those on the back of a Foscam Wifi cam and I was approx a mile down the road with no problem. The range can be farther but it is line of site so if there a lot of trees or buildings in the way the distance will be shorter.

I'm going to answer assuming you want to know the range between the camera and router. There is no DVR with this product. Anyway, the answer depends on a lot of variables but I can help you somewhat. I know it has an N wireless transmitter and it's range far exceeds two older (more expensive) wireless cameras i have that are only wireless G. I currently have the camera installed about 50 feet away from my router but the only thing in between is my garage and my backyard. Reception is rock solid at that distance. Hope that helps.

I use the monitor in my office that is at least 30 straight line feet from the camera. Wireless signal has to travel through two interior dry walls or around two right angles.

I don't know but it has worked great for me as a basic wireless router. Signal is excellent compared to many past devices I have used in a home with a lot of barriers. I have used the tech support for a camera so they will be able to answer your question.

My camera receiver is right next to my wireless router and has no effect on it. The camera is located out in the motor coach, where I sometimes sit and work with my laptop and there is no effect on my wireless connection.
