How accurate is the 400 foot range and how unobstructed does the system need to be?

I wouldn't rely on a full 400 ft. range; however, it works very well for us in 250-300 ft. range! We really like the system. If you have stone walls between the sensor and the receiver, the range is limited. We just put the receiver near a window and have no problems. It is loud enough to be heard easily throughout our large home. Hope this helps!

Range is ok not real accurate, needs to be clear shot, to motion sensor. trees branches leaves etc will set it off..

we have ours at 200ft and works ok wen its windy we shut it off leaves and such set it off

It is not very accurate and it basically has to be in view of the motion sensor. It won't work thru walls and it has a range of about 30 to 50 feet

Takes 2 people to test it to see how far it will go. Keep it line of sight clear to driveway along edge you want monitored. Put receiver near window close to transmitter as possible.

Not very accurite. Can not be relied on. If you have any kind of wildlife around I don't suggest buying one. Birds and even insects will set the alarm off.

I use this system at the bottom of the stairs, simply as a heads up that someone is coming up to the door. For the distance monitoring, I use Chamberlain Wireless Motion Alert System, Model# CWA2000 by Chamberlain $89.99 $57.00 Order in the next 2 hours and get it by Thursday, Jan 3.

it's not very accurate if you go behind more than 1 wall mine is appx 125 ft behind one wall

The stated range is 600 feet. I never tested it over 300 feet. After three months with the product my range had decreased to less than 100 feet. I would recommend it for in-yard use. I ended up replacing it with a similar offering from dogtra.

Seriously, this sensor works only part of the time 5 feet or 100 feet away. I strongly suggest you use a reliable solution for anything that is important. It will false alarm, or lose track of the sensor or not alarm when it should. Then sometimes it works fine. I have 2 base units and 4 different sensors. None work reliably.

The manual implies up to 50 feet. I deliberately aimed my unit to try and cover a limited area, but it seems to detect people at about 25', cats at about 12' and moving cars at about 40'. I'm sure the range would be greater if I aimed the sensor up a bit more.

Inside, a gps works shotty at best, this unit is no different. You could give it a try but the unit is supposed to have a view of the sky. Another problem you will find is the range, the directions say 200' away at a minimum and I have found that to be true.

I've used it at over 300 feet. The distance is impressive. It works smoothly even at that distance.

i have used it about 12 feet away and it worked fine. It will go further then that.

Hi Brian - I do not know anything about the software side of things. i just got them and will most likely never use them. I didn't have much luck with them getting more than 200ft in the woods. If i could go back i wouldn't buy them again.

It is decent at 30 to 40ft. Need a bigger IR for longer range. Try the bullet style for that

Dear Sir,it range up to 3000 feet to 6000 feet depending on environment and terrain.Hope it helpful to you.

yes you need the update and no the sensor is reliable to 40 - 50ft max beyond that is incosistent triggers

The sensor detection range is 16ft-26ft. The transmitting distance between sensor and receiver is about 394ft/120m.

who cares, the pyle is crap. altitude is always wrong. basically i can tell you my current altitude within 500 feet without the pyle device!

I've haven't tested the range exclusively, but on a recent shoot I was about 100ft away and it worked just fine.

I have had mine out to`1200 feet, too far me to see it well enough to control it. If the AA's are near end life the transmitter only controls out to maybe 800 feet.

I mounted this on a shotgun that is for home security, therefore accuracy at more than 25 feet or so isn't needed. It can be adjusted so depending on your application, it may need to be adjusted for height or windage.

Depending on the distance, it will be less accurate the farther away you get. It should give a decent approximation at that distance.
