I want to be able to monitor from inside a metal building some 700 - 800 feet away. Will this work?

I'm really not sure. I've taken it outside a good distance and our condo is brick, so possibly. Sorry I can't be of better help.

i dont think it will work. even if you didnt have any kind of walls or interference it wouldnt work for more than 200ft. at least that is my experience. in my apartment it doesnt work for more than 30ft because its a concrete building

Yes, just make sure that the detector you buy goes the distance. They are different. I bought 2 detectors. First one set up about 450 yards away and then the 2nd one about 100 ydsaway to let me know when someone is closer. I love them !

Yes, my steel building is about the same distance from my network box and it works fine. Just set the gain for the best reception.

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

You may be able to connect at this distance, at the frequencies involved too many variables to say for sure. A good directional antenna at both ends would sure help. My guess is with directional antennas both ends and a clear line of sight,you should work.Tom

Transmitting the video signal to another level isn't really any different from going from one room to another... The critical factor is the vertical distance and the number of walls it must pass through. If the location of the receiving set is close to being underneath and the signal must just pass thru the floor, you should be fine. But a floor and several walls will likely degrade the signal a bit. Moving the antenna on the receiving unit or just moving it slightly can make a big difference. The distance claimed in the GE description is for a clear signal, no way will you get that with walls etc. but 50 feet and a wall or two is most likely going to be OK. Also, be aware that TV's, monitors, phones etc can block/disrupt as well. Good Luck

Can't say about the metal barn part, but the 250' is no problem. I have mine about 800' from the receiver inside the house and it works fine. This thing has worked fine for a couple of years now and no false alarms. Cost more than the motion detector type, but much more reliable. Hope this helps.

Maybe, may not. It depends on lots of factors, many to do with your antennas and configuration. Line of sight should be much farther, but a poor antenna might not even go 30 meters. Good luck.

I can only offer some real world experience, I have 3 of these, In an office building it works fine for about 100 feet then starts to drop off at 150 though walls it does not work well. I found a second unit 100 feet away is a good solution. In open air 350 feet work fine. You have a power setting and you can turn it up. You also have a range setting and it goes up to Kilometers, This issue is there is a compromise of the speed and bandwidth as you turn this up. So I am sure it will work at 2,500 meters but you wont be getting 100MB though put.

The control unit transmitts signals to the outlet box by Radio Frequecies (in this cace 313mehertz) and furniture or nonmetalic object would not stop the control signals so things should operate. (Infrared signals are line of sight and will not work when obstales are in its direct path.)If the objects are metalic, it could reduce the distance it can send out control signals. Should work up to about 100 feet without any problems.Kodo Kawamura

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.

WiFi is "line of sight," and with these devices you can go considerably farther than 3,000 feet. If you can see (with your eyes, not electronically) your target location from your source location, it is very likely you can set up a connection using two of these devices. I live in a canyon, and I put one of these on a hill about 3,375 feet away and my WiFi detector "heard" it with around 35 dB. A second one of these devices on that hill sends the signal back down into the canyon floor 2,144 feet farther away. I also get a strong signal over two miles away.

Not sure about Mac but this thing has a very limited range, (3 feet) if that is important to you

I haven't tried it from that distance. My receiver is in my shop, but that's 45-50 feet from my den.

NO!! Do not waste your money. If you want that ltype of range I would suggest a Agasio A602W camera and use a range extender in your network. I have 2 Agasio A602W's monitoring my driveway with two very solid walls between the cameras and the range extender and they work great. I don't like the Foscam brand as they are not all what they say they are. If your cameras are that far away and you have very little obstruction, you would still need a range extender.

Think line of sight. You can't see it your video isn't going to be seen either. If the reciever was in the elevator shift and the transmitter is mounted outside of the elevator so they can see each other. That will work. Look up cloverleaf antennas you will need them cheap drones makes one for 25 bucks it is worth it get a 600 mW transmitter and you will be good no distortion or washout.

No problem,,, i have my cams over 100 feet away in the garage and they work properly ..my house is not brick but u should be good ....
