What signal does the remote use? Will it go through windows, walls, etc.? The description states that the remote range is 50'. Is this accurate?

It uses radio frequencies (not infrared). Yes, it will go through windows and walls. I can't comment on the range, as the furthest I've used it was about 30'.

Hi Garry, I just tested-it for you right now (I haven't before). Yes it's pretty amazing! While the GSM network has trouble reaching my mobile phone when I'm in the studio, because of thick walls, I could take remote pictures with Satechi, without a glitch. Had the camera set inside the studio while standing outdoor under a bright sun, at almost 15 meters (50 feet). It went through (depending on the beam direction with I don't know) 3 walls or 2 bay windows. I am surprised by the performance. Thank you for motivating me to test the equipment. The only minus is the fact there is no on/off button on the remote. you need to remove the batteries. Hi Garry, I just tested-it for you right now (I haven't before). Yes it's pretty amazing!

The wireless function works well. I tested its range today - 10m easy down our passage and later with good reception through a thin timber lined wall (forgot to do a window, sorry but you won't have any difficulty there i'm sure) and then a thick brick external wall. Quite impressive. Shipping and handling from China( ?) about $45. Total cost about $115 as near as I remember. I found it easy to use and to set up apart from a battery off switch. Manual too short and confusing but one goodish video on You Tube on its operation. I expect 50 feet would be OK with direct line of sight and outside. Didn't try that far.

I'm not sure how the walls would affect the signal. Our transmitter is outside next to a tree; our receiver is on a window sill inside our log home and they are more than 50 feet apart. I hope this helps :) Our logs are 8 inches in diameter & the glass is triple-pane; signal makes it to the receiver just fine.

I have it mounted 12 ft high on my bedroom wall. The remote works very well from my bed, which is roughly 14 ft away. The remote is infrared so you have to have line of sight. Hope this helps!

This remote is an infrared remote and requires line of sight between the receiver and the remote. I have been able to use it up to 30 feet, mainly limited by the fact that is the furthest distance I can go and still maintain line of sight.

No it will not work through walls. It is line of sight. The furthest I can get from it in my house is 15 paces, about 40-45 feet and it works every time at that range. It has never false alarmed or missed movement. In my opinion is much better than the two others I tried. I wanted another one but Amazon has been sold out for a long time.

Wall penetration is going to be hard for me to answer, a lot factors in with that such as materials. My living room is about 20ft long and I have no issues anywhere using it. I would assume that if your 360 remote reaches so will this. I was pleased with mine, after having concerns based on price. The connection seems really responsive and the battery last fairly well (will go dead slowly while off).

The remote uses a radio frequency to control the unit. It works quite well through walls and doors.

I've successfully used it up to 50 feet away, but don't know what the longest possible range is. You do not have to be in line of sight -- it will transmit through doors and walls, though the range is reduced.

Mine works at a range of about 50 feet through 4 x 10inches concrete walls with no problems.

It depends on the ceiling construction, but the range is pretty good. I have two of these in an old plaster house and the receiver unit is completely above the plaster ceiling and they both work anywhere within the room, and anywhere in the adjacent room that is within line of site of the doorway. They do not reliably function through a plaster wall.

I get a pretty strong signal up to 50 feet. It's one of the best investments I've ever made. I love it! Hope this helps you with your decision to purchase one!

yes, it works through walls and windows. It seems to be a radio signal and works to about 30 feet at my house.I have it plugged into a protected outside outlet and use it from inside the house to operate a fountain pump.

From my Samsung Galaxy it works 20-25 feet. Out on the porch (window open) or into the next room. From what other people say, I assume this is extreme range. Might be helpful to know I am in a area with almost no interference.

I got this for my daughter she uses it from about 30 - 50 feet away in her car with the windows down. My Father in law had some problems with that same remote new. He took it back and the replacement worked great. Probably got a bad unit.

It has been my experience that the remote has a range of 10 feet or more This company has great customer service so I would email them for specific s.

Wireless technology works "line of sight" therefore any obstruction will impact the signal. I have tested successfully over 75 feet with perfect video signal by mounting the Receiver (the Display) on the windshield of my vehicle near the driver's side window (using an extension power cord). NOTE: You can contact the manufacturer RVS (Rear View Safety) Technical Support at 800-764-1028 with any questions.

The signal range is approximately 100 m or 39 ft if UNOBSTRUCTED. If going through walls, doors or windows, the range decreased to about 33% of that. The camera requires light to get a good picture as it does not have any self-illumination, which would defeat the purpose as a security camera. The more light, the better the picture.
