Each camera has to have ac electrical power. For example, if you mount cameras under the eaves on your house, you'll have to route an ac power wire, such as an extension cord, from an electrical source to each of the cameras. Since the cameras require an ac power cord, they are not really wireless. "Wireless" refers only to the WiFi data signal, which is transmitted wirelessly between each camera and your home's router. Installing outlets and routing ac power wires inside your home's attic is likely to be a major hassle for most homeowners. The display also has to be plugged into an ac electrical source.

The cameras must be plugged into an electrical outlet for power, that has nothing to do with them being able to record. The distance advertised is up to 500'. Without obstructions, maybe. Realistic, 150-200'. I added taller antennas on a couple of mine to improve performance

I don't know the limit. It works for me at 100 feet. Haven't tried it farther.

I would say about 15ft as long as the cord that comes with the camera also I would think you could add your own extension cord if your over 15ft from your outlet

Each camera needs AC power and has a power supply and extension, so you need to be within about about 15 feet from an outlet. On the wireless part, I'm getting a range of about 30-50 feet, nowhere near the 500 specified

Not very far. Maybe ten feet not even. This isn't a professional mic by any means really, just a slightly better substitute to your internal camera mic.

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.

Limited range... perhaps you should consider a webcam or internet based camera.

Our camera is in a church building and the receiver is in the house next door on an exterior wall opposite the church. The camera is on an inside wall twelve feet from the exterior wall, the buildings are separated by about 25 feet. The signal comes in at about 3 bars. We use this to provide nursery workers with a church service video and sound. For the price point, this is more than adequate.

That's Great I like that I'll keep you posted. Next question, Is there any wireless cameras or Do you have any wireless cameras so I could hide them in a particular areas? And Also so they won't see any wiring.

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.

The camera can use a wireless network or be connected to an Ethernet cable. But either way it needs a power cable to work. You would need to run an outdoor outlet conduit box and have it power that way. But this is by no means a full weatherproof outdoor camera. At least not by my standards. Look into the outdoor vandal proof dome cameras.

The cord does not exceed 8 feet which makes it hard to locate outside. The cameras are regularly disconnecting themselves- requiring resetting the camera power. Also, the frequency at which the cameras operate interferes with many wireless routers, and vice versa. This product is not a good deal, and the support staff is unhelpful for most conditions. Hope it helps.

No it is not wireless, yes you will need excess wires to stem from the DVR to the actual cameras, depending on how far away from the DVR, they are positioned .

I don't think so - it basically turns the power lines in your home into a short range Ethernet. You still have to have the camera plugged into something that sends the data on the ether-line. The only way a camera can be wireless is to be either broadcasting (there are blue-tooth cameras, but they are easy to hack - esp baby monitors) or self recording.

The video should be fine. But you may need a power source closer to the camera.

Dear Paul, change the WIFI encyption authenication with our "Eyesee Finder", please come to www.szgeeya.com/ipc for related software. Please know that the camera shall not be too much near the wifi router, like dark under the lamp. But if long time video recording or surveillance, we would advise wired connection. Further questions please feel free to contact us.

I use mine outside of the house to cover 3 home entrances 80ft, 25ft 3ft from room with monitor. and the 4th camera is 450 ft , direct line of sight with no obstructions to the room in the house where the monitor is to see a blind spot of the entrance of my horse barn with full signal bars. Live very rural so there is no other wireless interference in the area. Very happy with my purchase in this set up it does what it saids it can.

The wireless remote works from as far as 30 feet but you must be in front of the camera for it to work. The cord remote can be used from any direction but it is only 3 feet long.

the camera isn't wireless but the video monitor is. The camera must be plugged into a power source.
