What is the wireless range of these cameras? I need to use it in a out building.

Well, it will depend on several variables- the bandwidth you have and the power of the router/wifi unit you have as well as considering any obstructions such as walls, etc. This model is meant to be an indoor camera. The company does make cameras for outdoor use. Depending on the distance, you may be able to extend the wifi range with one of the various such devices on the market.

With proper Externally mounted antennas on both ends, you should be able to span 100 feet or more

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

Hi, I purchased 4 of these camera's and had them professionally installed........I sent them all back within the same week. They want stay online for any length of time at all. I had to resync them at least 10 times a day and they were within 10 feet of the wireless router!! They are great if you can keep them ensync. They have a great picture but man who can take them down 10 times a day and redo them.?..

Not wireless. Comes with power supply. Must be wired to monitor or DVR with coax. This is the wrong camera for you.

This camera operates on the 2.4 GHZ band. However it is not an IP camera. It is switch selectable between two different frequencies of four allotrd by the FCC for this type of equipment. Also be aware the signal is not digitally encoded.However I have had no interferance with my wireless router or other home network devices while operating these cameras 24 hours a day. i hope this information is helpfull.

Cameras are wireless so not connected to computer or router by wires. Cameras need only be synched with router and plugged into the wall. BTW, their customer service is horrific.

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.

They are wireless in the sense that you don't need an ethernet wire connected to a base unit (like a DVR). However, the cameras still require electricity and must be plugged into an electrical outlet.

Hi, no we do not have any wireless systems (cameras, etc) in our system. After speaking with a couple of different CCTV companies, they do not suggest wireless if you have an option. Just like internet, wired connections are always better/more stable than wireless.

It is NOT a wireless camera. Sorry. Write HD Video Depot if you already bought it and they will hook you up with what you need. When I wrote em they were GREAT, both in time to respond and getting me what I needed.

Six feet. Had to use power cord extensions on both of the cameras. If I remember correctly 5 Volts. After you set it up and remove the CAT5 cable to verify it is now wireless, you can unplug it and place it any place that is in wireless range. I used a 20 cent blue electrical handy box to stuff the reset button and keep it out of the weather. One camera has been in 24-7 service outdoors for 12 years, still works like new camera.

I have one at my home pointing to a hunting cabin about 250 feet away from where the unit is. I have a wireless camera at the cabin and I never lose my camera. The signal is a little weak but it works. There is also all woods between the unit and the cabin. So if you have a clear shot I think you'll be in great shape. Hope this helps.

This is a wired camera. To use with a wireless system you'd have to add wireless cameras unless your receiver has space for wired camera inputs.

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 .

Would you have a suggestion for a wireless camera which is similar in quality

Not wireless but comes with the cable. Much more reliable then wireless cameras. No interference. Would never use wireless unless you want hit and miss video.

I believe the technical max range is 300 feet but that is probably if there are no obstructions. I have had no problems using the camera from anywhere inside my house. But when I took it outside, which was about 40 feet away from the transmitter and had several walls in between, the signal had some issues. Overall I really like this camera and it works very well for my needs.
