I know these function best mounted outside - but do they have enough signal to transmit through two garage doors with about 300 ft. open air?

I tried using these for a distance of ~55 feet through 2 walls. Worked OK, but bandwidth was poor (I was trying to stream video and needed 100Mbps) and I wound up returning them.

Fiberglass maybe. Steel...no way. I shoot them through a sort of thick pine field but they are both outside. I would put them outside if you can. There are many other products that would work better if you want to put them inside.

These put out about 250mw of power, you can lower it if need be, which, coincidentally should be when you are closer than 600 yards between each bridge. To be honest, unless they are solid garage doors (double walled aluminum, metal or the like), you would probably be alright. Why do you need to mount them indoors? They come with pole mounts. I have one of mine underneath an eve of the pool house and the other on the roof of the building.

I just set these up to go over a distance of about 350 feet. One end (receiving end) the signal goes through siding on a barn. At the house end, it goes through the wall of the house that has windows. About half way across there are trees the signal would pass through (no foliage now). My signal is 100% (all lights on).

Would this work ok to transmit about 100 ft from one building to the next. If not, could an almond securifi be used to range extend it well enough?

Don't know for sure, but the signal can reach over 50 feet in open space. So my guess is that it can.

Line of sight definately helps. You can set it up horizontal or vertical and get a little wiggle room with the signal. I've set up one at 3\4 of a mile and some trees and it gets 90% signal strength. The other is about 500 yards and gets 99% and it goes through a building external wall too.

I'm not sold on it. Tried mounting it in a metal building on a roll up door but signal would not pass through metal door. Not sure signal would pass through metal mail box from remote location. Building was about 60' from receiver in the house.

I didn't mount mine near the garage opener. Actually about 10 feet away, so it would illuminate a different part of the garage. Maybe it has more to do with the ability to see the blinking light when it is preparing to shut. In my case moving it more towards the house improved the WiFi connection.

Yes, I have five of them mounted under the soffit on the corners of the house. I have one that is also mounted on the wall at the garage. One is actually mounted 27' from the ground and it also works great for detecting motion on the ground. You can also install them in parallel so that if one triggers, the other one will also go on. This way you can light up the whole end of the house if either detects motion. These are great lights- I highly recommend them.

I have had 2 of these outside for about 2 years now. They are under the eaves by my front door and in front of my garage out of the worst of the weather. They have worked flawlessly. However, I would not suggest exposing them directly to the elements.

The motion detector range is about 15 feet to 20 feet but if you place one in barn the wireless signal should work no problem. Plus I believe Fortress makes a booster panel to increase the signal. Maybe you could mount the booster outside and that would work even better. My furthest sensor is about 80 feet and it works through my house over my garage and shed.

Yes. I occasionally take Nyrius receiver an a small TV to my garage which is separated from the main part of the house by 8 inch concrete blocks. However the total distance is no more than 20 feet from the transmitter.

I can travel just about anywhere in my house or yard and still receive signal. It does depend, however, on what obstacles are between headset and source, such as a floor to ceiling well filled bookcase.

Possible. This motion sensor can only see about 30 feet if you point it down. Point it up and the wind will set it off. This means the sensor is close and receiver has a short radio wire on it which could possibly receive a sensor signal from a long distance.

The alarms are loud enough to hear even behind a closed door. I have my furthest around 15 feet, it will all depend upon the amount of other wireless devices you have running as to whether or not it will interfere with the signal.

It depends on distance between house and garage. It needs a signal to work.

No, I wouldn't recommend it. I thought I had a strong, direct signal outdoors and am disappointed with my reception. I haven't reached a final decision yet, but have purchased a powered signal amplifier. I live in an apartment and bought this antenna because it could be mounted discretely outdoors. It's certainly good looking.

I've used mine easily 300 ft away, with two walls in between. Range is very good.
