How far from the base unit can the cameras be mounted? I would like to mount a camera in our clubhouse about 150-200 yards away.

I think that maybe too far. I have one of my camera three floors up and the reception isn't that great.

The base unit operates on the 2.4 GHz ISM band using 802.11 b Wi-Fi, which is rated at a range of 125 ft indoor; 460 ft outdoor. So it sounds like you would be pushing the limit. Depends on how many walls, floors, windows, trees, etc. it must pass through and how dense they are. You won't know till you try.

I believe within 300-500 fts (not yard b/c 1yard = 3ft). The further away, the signal is weak and sometime it disables itself. It is great within a house (downstair and upstair.) I hope the info will help you in making the selection.

You should get signal within 100 yards,. but 150 might have signal loss or weak connection...

hummmm have not tried it that far-but should work as long as there is not many walls or obstructions.

I had the same question so I moved the camera around the house. So far, walking down hallways, etc., it works at about 70 feet. I am very pleased with that.

Hey Brandon- The range on these is awesome! I had a gated community that I had direct line of sight to the antennae that was mounted on a pole 10' high, and was well over 500'. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks... Matty

we only used the supplied cables. I think you may need a booster to extend cable that far. I would consider wireless if there is power available to the camera.

Michele, you should have no problem with that distance. I have used it the camera as close as 3" and as far as 50 yards.Good luck.

I have GREAT reception at 50 feet on one camera, FULL BAR signal and GREAT reception on the 2nd @ 15 feet. I am going to install a 3rd camera which will be about 40 feet away from the receiver. I would HIGHLY recommend this system to any buyer and I believe it is easier and better than the DVR versions which require wiring. Hope this helps!

40' feet is a stretch with the cameras that come with the system. You can but better cameras and then add to the system. I very good system. I purchsed this for my business and am going to buy another one to put at my home.

I had my wireless unit about 300 feet (100 yards) from the base but the reception started to get 'spotty.' I would say that 200 - 250 feet would be a good maximum range.

Not sure all of my cameras are mounted at least 8' off the ground. They do however give a great picture for the price of the system.

Yes to the video however unless the Coyotes are within 10 to 15' of the camera at night or up to 30' during the day you won't get a good picture. I mounted mine on a light pole at about 18' high and anything outside the base plus maybe 10' of the pole is not clear and at night it is half that. I think its better to use a Camera rated for several hundred feet when using outside and then you may get half that range that is useful.

I recently installed 4 cameras with this system. All work well at distances of over 100Ft when I have clear line of sight. My home is an authentic log cabin with pretty thick walls. As such, I don't get a good signal for cameras without line of sight.

It detects pretty far out, I have animals 30' away in a pasture and it will often pick their movement up. I don't know about 200' away, would be better if you could mount it closer to the activity. Also, it doesn't pick up 'wide angle' but only straight out in front of the detector. The 1/2 mile transmit claim is valid though!

The manufacturer states that the range is 150 feet. Mine is mounted about 100 feet away and works just fine.

I have two cameras over 110 feet away. I ordered the 150' and 100' extension cords. Just make sure you route the cable correctly. The power lead has a male terminal on one end and female on the other. Don't mix them up. I ran two cameras out to our detached garage. So I buried the cables in plastic conduit underground. So far, no problems, they work great.

I am not an expert at this. I put out one camera at 150 feet and it seems fine. What I have noticed is that in cold weather (zero outside) my images don't seem as clean.

I have the camera facing north and 2 others facing south because of the sun. They are cabled to trees about waist height. I have no issues with mine. And we live in fla as well. You need to have a clear area you are monitoring. Because of the ocean breezes. You need to cut back the vegetation around 20 foot. We have bear pics, squirrels, cats, our dog, the neighbor kid borrowing gas can. Fixed that with his dad.

When first installed one camera worked at 47 feet and one at 26 feet. Recently I had to move both to no more than 25 feet. The system is junk.
