The camera can be connected via a cat5 LAN network, meaning if you have internet service at your garage you could connect the camera to the internet via a router. Some service provider internet modem are also an integrated router you would have to check. Otherwise the camera could be connected to a computer LAN/Network and connect directly to a computer, without at least that the camera would be useless.

I haven't installed my unit outside yet. I have it plugged in inside the house. I rent camper spaces and the people in the camper about 500 feet away had to hook up a receiver to get good reception in there camper. I think if I had it installed outside they would pick it up fine. My neighbor has one and he picks it up good all over his farm and can get 2 bars half a mile away. He mounted his on top of his tallest barn. If you aren't able to get enough bars maybe you could put a receiver/router thing on (I don't know what they put on but it was something they already owned)

Yes. Wifi would work. Considering its a strong dedicated signal, it should work well. Good luck.

Maybe if it's no longer than that. Mine was about 20 feet away and it keep dropping the Wi-Fi at night. The next morning I would have to unplug it and plug it back in to work.

Do you have a wireless router that you are able to use in that location? What I mean is is the signal strength strong from your wireless system in the garage area? Can you connect your laptop to your wireless router while sitting in your car in the garage? It's a very good camera but it would be limited in my opinion by the connectivity/signal strength of your wireless router. Hope this helps.

It would be fine in a motor home once it is stationary. It would obviously be useless while traveling because it needs to be aimed towards the nearest tower and the amplifiers gain adjusted. It comes with a simple suction cup mount for Windows, or you could rig a pole of some sort to allow you to mount it externally and rotate it. There are plenty of apps to help you locate cell towers and signal direction. I actually mounted mine too well and had to add cable to attenuate the signal. (I was too lazy to move it after I mounted it, guess I should have tested first.). Also, the small transmitting antenna would be perfect in a small area such as an RV. Just makes sure to pay attention to the instructions about having it too close to the receiving antenna and the amp.

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.

I live in a two story metal framed house, before I installed me EnGenius we didn't have wifi hardly anywhere. Now, we have wifi everywhere, all over inside, upstairs, downstairs, outside and even about 80 feet out to the mailbox with very large oak trees in the way. I don't know if this answers your question and every application is different but i would think probably so, especially if you mount it on the ceiling close to the back yard wall.

Not very long u will have to cut a hole for power and antennae to go through it won't mount unless u do! I send it back. It would work for me. I had no power in that area.

Not sure the range on the Blackvue wifi transmitter would be powerful enough to connect from a distance. Have only ever tried it from within the car.

Yes it will, however signal strength de pens on the distance from the TP-LINK TL-WR720N to the garage. If you already have a wireless device the TP-LINK TL-WR720N may be used to extend the range of the existing device. Please note the stronger the security the shorter the range. If you require a stronger reception range use the TP-LINK TL-WN822N for even better results. ( the TP-LINK TL-WR720N only has two LAN ports)

That is a little far, this thing might not make it, you may need a higher powered AP with a separate high gain directional antenna. I've had it work well up to 200ft.

I believe so. the receiver antenna will supply a hard wired Ethernet jack/signal. you can simply connect a wifi router or access point and broadcast that wifi signal in the remote area.

Don't know if you will get a mile out of this. Also depends on if anyone around you has WIFI and will disrupt the signal. Take a look at using WIFI point to point antennas on the access points for better range. Ive gotten 2-3 miles with access points and 2 point to point antennas in a country outdoors setting.

it should work fine once you google how far the nearest broadcast station is located from where your RV is Parked. Not sure it will bet good connection while Driving

I have one mounted in my basement and it covers about a 1/2 acre lot at 80% signal strength on the outer edge. My phone has connected to my wifi in the business parking lot across the street from my house ( about 400ft line of sight and through 4 walls and some dirt) BEST AP I EVER OWNED.

Trial and error would be your best bet. If you have a previous cable provider you can connect the antenna in to the input and send the signal throughout your home of course that would mean mounting it outside. I did this and it worked great.
