My house is block brick. I will have the camera approx 25 to 30 feet from the receiver. Is this going to put much of a drain on the picture.

It should work and should not affect picture Quality.. Two of my cameras are around same distance away from receiver.

I have one of my camers located outside behind a security gate at my front entrance. My receiver is located in my master bedroom which is about 30ft away. My house is Hardy Plank and I have no issues with the picture. As a matter of fact, it will pick up any bugs flying in the entrance way at night without any light. I hope this may help.

I'm not sure about the drain on the picture, but I did notice that the further away you are, the frame rate drops down. Even with the lower frame rate, it is fine for me.

I have 3 cameras receiving through brick average distance 25 feet with no issues since I purchased mine.

Our house is stucco, 3 stories and we have had problems getting a consistent clear signal from all 4 of our cameras. We have 2 in front & 1 in back on the ground floor and 1 on the second floor. We wanted to put the screen on the 3rd floor or 2nd floor kitchen but 1 or 2 of the cameras would only connect intermittently. We finally found a spot on the 2nd floor where we get a consistent signal but it is not where we would prefer to have the screen and a place where we do not have ethernet access to tie the screen to the internet. We're very disappointed - you're better off getting a wired system. Our house is stucco, 3 stories and we have had problems getting a consistent clear signal from all 4 of our cameras.

I can see my fence (in pure darkness; no lights) at 65 feet from camera. The image is a bit grainy, but you can easily see a body or movement - you will not be able to see facial features. At about 30 feet, images are clear for me. One thing that impacts the image is the angle at which the camera points. My camera sits under the soffit, and points downward at about a 25-30 degree angle and gives me decent view up to about 30 feet. At that angle, this causes the LEDs to point downward, thus "lighting" up that area, while sacrificing distance. If I pointed the camera towards the long distance, I get better imaging with distance. But still, at 100 feet, no luck with facial features. If you have a street light nearby, this helps quite a bit and I can get the 100 feet. My second camera on other side of house has a streetlight nearby and I can see past 100ft. Hope this helps.

I have found that aligning the sending unit antenna (in as straight line to the camera) as possible improves the signal and the picture. Camera #1 is about 5 feet away in a window in the same room as the receiver and clear/colored/with out distortion.....However camera #2 in another room....20ft away from the receiver (not in line sight) and is as you describe fuzzy distorted and b/w.........the receiver has a sensitivity switch that will eliminate the tweet.... tweet sound ...roll it back until the tweet stops....Glad to be I hope some help to you!

Absolutely not. This camera is pretty good if you're shooting from about 5 feet away.

I have a 2400 sq ft home; the cameras are in the kids' rooms on one end of the upstairs. Our bedroom is on the other end, and we get reception all over the house. No problems. As far as outside of the house goes, i don't know yet because it has been so cold here. When it is nice, I can leave the youngest down for naps while the oldest and I go play outside or work in the garden. Don't know if this monitor will reach that far or not, yet.

My camera is just over 40' from the receiver and it is outside. signal passes through walls, doors, doorwall without any issues. the picture and sound are great.

We have one of these mounted to a carport pole facing up our driveway. It does not flash, so would not be easy to spot at night. Not only that, but if for some reason they do see the camera, the picture would still be contained on the remote unit which can be hidden over 90 feet away. Therefore you'd still have their picture. If you can use a standard digital camera, this should be easy for you to operate.

We are out of US and have concrete walls other systems would not work. We have doorbell button mounted on thick wood gate which is 40 yards away from the receiver. The motion detector is about 35 yards. They work great together and currently we are waiting on another receiver that someone is bringing to us to be able to put in another location so we can hear it by the back pool. We tested the first receiver and it went that far throught the solid block walls - 60 yards

If you have a camera there already, check and see, how far is the camera from the connection. The length is about 2' long, with this camera.

We have our camera connected one floor above and offset by about 20 feet from our router. It has never had connectivity issues.

I don't think that will be a problem for you at all. We have a smaller house but live on several acres and I have been probably 20-30 yards away and still had reception. Just watch the battery. Keep it plugged in unless you need to walk off

I'm not sure, it depends on several factors. I think it will work at a longer distance if you are in front of the camera rather than behind. It should operate fine at between 6 and 10 feet.

I have camera's as far as 150' away. I used couplers when I relocated main unit in office.

Obstructions/trees and other factors come into play with this - honestly only you can answer that question - we have a similar size house and property is large and only have two cameras based off the front of the house - porch and driveway - but then that's us. Best of luck - they're good cameras we'll say that for sure!

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.

The camera will not trigger that far away. I would say 60 feet is the max. However the field of vision is much further than that. You would get clear pictures out to 150 feet I would estimate.

I have electrical items near it, but notice if directly in stream, can smell the ions and slight uneasiness. Otherwise, seems like a caution about the 7 feet. The more sensitive the equipment the more it can be affected. If possible, I would put the projector farther away and for sure directed AWAY.
