Can this unit be used on a farm from the main house to an outbuilding? Maybe up to 125'? I have another intercom from Radio shack that works great but we need another one for another building.

Hi. I hesitate to answer this because I am not sure of the exact range of these devices. However, I can tell you that it is being used for communication purposes from the "main house" to what most people would consider an In-laws quarters way on the other side. For the price and the quality of the device, the worst thing that could happen is that you would have to send it back. Probably worth the try! Hope this helps.

Yes, we have it setup in the house and in the stand alone garage. At least 200 ft. The buildings are on separate meters & it still works great. Just ensure it is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not a surge protector or extension cord as this causes static. Enjoy, one of the best things I ever bought

It says "up to 1500 feet," so I would think it would work, as long as both get their power from the same meter. They MUST have a wire-path between units. My needs don't span that kind of range, though, but I would give it a try.

It seems to work at least 300' from the control unit. My yard is big and has 9 zones, It works awesome all around the house,even out of direct line sight of the control box. Absolutley required if you do your own setting and adjustments. Worth every penny. Hope this helps. Jeff

My friend down the street has his system 850 feet "in a straight line" away from the router and works great! I guess some folks live in very small homes and are unsure of capable distance.

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

I can't recall the exact specs but mine is easily 200 yards away and it works 9 out of 10 times. The transmitter is mounted to a tree across the drive, the receiver inside the barn. Thick walls on the bar too. This is a sweet purchase man, no fooling.

As mentioned, this can not be a continuous transmitter; it does not have a provision for continuous transmit, AND it's illegal anyway. What it can do as a monitor is monitor the motion detectors offered by the same manufacturer. You do not hear sounds in the barn, only a canned voice saying "alert zone one" or similar.

I used my own wire for the outside door bell intercom. The larger monitor is a plug in and it isn't very long. I spliced all of my stuff to make things work. I ran my wire over 50' from outside inside the walls.

With only 400' if you have line of site to the building, You may be able to mount a SINGLE M2 on the outside of the remote building and connect it directly to the AP that is in the first building. This would eliminate one of the M2's and the wiring in the originating building. If you cannot get a solid signal, you will have to go with the devices as described above.

It detects pretty far out, I have animals 30' away in a pasture and it will often pick their movement up. I don't know about 200' away, would be better if you could mount it closer to the activity. Also, it doesn't pick up 'wide angle' but only straight out in front of the detector. The 1/2 mile transmit claim is valid though!

Unfortunately, it won't work 12 blocks away...I tried to use it in my Garage and it worked, but the minute I went beyond my garage....It no longer worked! I hear it depends on the area you live in too...Rural or City! In the city it only works around my house!

Hi, I have a 750' driveway that is heavily wooded. I have the transmitter way up there and it transmits through trees, shrubs, and a concrete stucco house with no problems. This rig is the shiz-nit. The relay functions are great, they can turn on lights or take pictures....how ever you have it set up. Great set up...Bob.

I just set these up to go over a distance of about 350 feet. One end (receiving end) the signal goes through siding on a barn. At the house end, it goes through the wall of the house that has windows. About half way across there are trees the signal would pass through (no foliage now). My signal is 100% (all lights on).

On the setup I have, transmitter and receiver are separated by approximately 17 feet with a wall of concrete in the middle and both image and sound work perfectly with no issues at all...I have no idea if it can reach the distance you need - it seems too far as they are not designed for long distances...hope my comment helps.

My range includes my entire back yard and I can also walk across the street to my neighbor's house and sit on her porch and carry on a conversation which is very clear. The intercom system is wonderful and you don't need any additional equipment to make it work because it is built in to the phone system. I love this feature because I can intercom the phone in the kitchen until my partner picks up that phone and I am upstairs. Hope this helps. Teresa

I have it inside my house, about 16 ft away from front wall, and I have connected outside the house, across the street about 50 ft away. Don't know actual range, but it's pretty good for my needs.

It depends if you purchase the range booster. Mine work between the house, barn and garage but all the buildings are in a 100 foot radius of the base station.

It depends on the terrain that is between the two radios. I use mine in some rugged mountains. Sometimes we can only communicate with each other within a mile. That would be when both radios are off the top of the mountain with bends or valleys between the two. From mountain top to mountain top you can sometimes get upwards of 5 miles. On average, our party is usually within 2 miles of each other and we normally stay in contact.
