What is the working range of this detector? Could I mount it between my kitchen and living room to monitor both rooms?

The range is up to 20 feet 360. It will work between romost without obstruction. I wouldn't push the outer limit of the range, maybe 15 ft. To be safe.

I have one mounted between two rooms, about 15' from each window and it works fine in my situation.

Hello, I have no idea, was just curious about the item and thought I could use it to possibly track down a wall switch that goes nowhere in our house. turn off all breakers but the circuit the switch is on and check for a signal thru the wall with the switch on and follow it, have not tried yet. Just checked around a few wires and it does sense the electricity. I think the deal on it detecting cameras is that you can see the infrared with it or something. Have not had time to really check, it may just be a barely useful gimmick. But I hope I can trace the wire. It may make a cool kinda selective sensitivity signal tracer.Peace!

We have one contact & motion detector on front door and in foyer respectively. Our 2nd contact is in our basement on the outside door -- downstairs ~40m through the floor. Works perfectly. Hope this helps!

Based on my experience with the device I do not believe you will be able to do that. It has a limited range. I simply use it to avoid the cable within a room. I tried going from one room at one end of the house to a room at the other end without too much success. It seems to be very sensitive to anything between the antennas, walls, furniture etc.

The Motion Detector can send the signal from a backroom of the house to the front porch - when I work at daytime in the yard. The detector and the sensor can be switched to any place practical. Very good battery life of both devices.

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.

I have not tested out side of my house for range but it works fine in my entire house. It is 3 room condo.

I do not think this device can help you at that range. The first challenge is for the unit to pick up the signal, strong enough for the display to show all three signal strength lines (which is what the instructions recommend). Only then, can you get the unit to repeat or extend the signal to its maximum new range. In my case, my objective is to enhance my signal strength on the second floor of my house. I literally had to connect the unit in an outlet directly over the room where the source router is in order to get all three signal strength marks. After that, I can say that the signal on the top floor was marginally improved. For the price paid, I guess I am marginally satisfied. I got a slightly improved signal for a small amount of money. But, again, if you expect for this unit to pick up the signal from 100 feet, and then extend it further, my best guess is that you will be disappointed. Good luck.

I'd estimate that it detects movement about 10 feet away. I have it installed over the door and it lights up when i'm about 10 feet from the door.

Yes, this would be perfect for you! The Picostation has excellent range. One thing: if your garage has metal siding, that can impact the ability to "see" the network.

It's mounted 7'-10' high to be detected maximum distance up to 60'-70' (@75F or less). if just detects 10'-20' away that have to adjust sensitivity knob via clockwise to increase its sensing range.

It will work well for that application. The sensor senses motion out as far as thirty feet at our house, so the lights should come on as you approach the garage. I suspect that being mounted a bit higher gives them greater range. We have been quite pleased with this unit.

I think they consider 4 feet away to be ideal. You should also note the detector will only work on panel doors (you mount it on the top panel) and not solid one piece doors the swing upwards or carriage style.

I dont know the exact range but my lights will detect motion at least 20 feet away

I do not see why not. However, it will not work with light relay, that is resistance based. Motion detector should work.I have it in a reading lamp/night light in the kids room.

I don't think that one can be answered because each situation is different, and it would depend on interference that might reside in that space. I can tell you that it had been just fine for our trilevel home, and that our signal is more reliable with this unit than with our old. Signal range can be effected by so many things that without seeing your space I would not hazard a guess.

NO!! Do not waste your money. If you want that ltype of range I would suggest a Agasio A602W camera and use a range extender in your network. I have 2 Agasio A602W's monitoring my driveway with two very solid walls between the cameras and the range extender and they work great. I don't like the Foscam brand as they are not all what they say they are. If your cameras are that far away and you have very little obstruction, you would still need a range extender.
