When you are in the same room you are on the same local network. To access the camera from a distance you have to set up your router to forward the port (it defaults to 80 which some service providers block, so I switch mine to 82-89. Also most ISPs use dynamic IP addresses which means your IP address can change over time. I use a service like dyndns.org to provide a consistent URL. I have these cameras set up in Las Vegas and monitor them from Chicago all of the time.

First, I'm in the market to buy this camera, I don't own one. I'm not trying to complain about the posts so far, but I'm wondering if you are simply using the auto mode when indoors, or have you tried other modes (Indoor Mode), ISO speeds, etc that the camera comes equipped with? If the images are "VERY POOR", what exactly have you tested? (Others report indoor images have been good).

While mine is not set up in that location as I wanted to visualize the area where the three outside doors merge, I don't see why it would not work there. I was a touch skeptical about these cameras and the price of this dropped to under $100 so I thought it would be worth a chance. I have been impressed with the quality of the image and even my wife who was not thrilled with the purchase downloaded the app to show friends a live feed. The only issue with outdoor viewing with any of these cameras is where the sun will be at any given time of day. If protected I would guess this will provide you with good vision into what areas you want to see. Good luck.

You might have some electrical interference in the signal path of your 60 footer, in which case you might consider rerouting. If you "paired" the 50 footer and still don't have a signal, you could have a faulty camera.

The distance is not an issue you will be able to see it at 6 ft away. We have never used it in the day or in a bright room but I do feel if may be an issue as it at times was not extremely bright with some videos displayed on it.

Do I need to have something else to view the video on this camera or can I just connect to a monitor and thats it? I dont want to record, just real time monitoring for my garage. What I want to do, is to have a camera wired to my room's tv, so whenever someone is getting close to my garage entrance, I can see from my tv, instead of going to the garage entrance.. will this work?

Same problem. I just opened the unit and so far I love it, but on night vision there is no constant image. It keeps "blinking" from night vision image to black, back and forth. Is this normal? I was expecting uninterrupted image in night vision as when there is light on the room. By the way, when I turn lights on, the blinking desapears. Can anyone help us with this?

You are better off using live view. Why? At f/1.4 the depth of field is razor thin for portraits.

I returned one of these camera because of a similar problem. I noticed a white flickering dot during playback. I observed while filming and the dot was present on the LCD screen. I got a second one and the dot wasnt there at first. It came back on the second camera but in a different place. I'm baffled and wish i could find more info on this issue. If anyone has more info on this, let me know!

David - the Soloshot has not worked for me indoors. You also must be at least 50ft away for the tracking to work.

As long as your camera is hooked to Ethernet, you can view it from your tablet or smart phone any where you have an internet connection. I can be in South America and view my house in USA, as long as my camera is plugged into Ethernet.

I have mine in a window sill and it works fine with one exception. During the daylight hours there is a reflection of the camera back into the camera. This is not a fault of the camera, but if anyone else has experienced the same thing and found a solution I would appreciate hearing about it. Because I accidently came upon this site and don't know if I could find it again, please email me at tmf24556@aol.comTom

I am using a Nikon D3300 DLSR camera which uses mini hmdi out to connect to the monitor. The live view picture quality was not very good. I am having much better live view results using wi-fi, samsung tablet and nikon's wireless moblie utility. However you cannot change camera settings.

The camera needs to be located near your wireless router. Mine are about 200 feet from the router and both are outside of the house. You can watch the output of the cameras from any internet link. I have software called "Vitamin D" that records the video and lets me monitor on my PC at home. On my iPhone I have an app called Pro Surveilance and it works great. I can watch my house from anywhere.

When the connection is lost you can't see anything with the camera beacuse the screen in the app goes black......... I hope this answer will help you.

May need to relocate it to a position where "lines" are not in view of the camera.... Otherwise, lines shouldn't be showing up in screen or recorded video...

I just figured out I did not answer your question. I have not tried it from inside a building while my camera is outside? I figure it would work through a window? Sorry for the useless response.
