Can I view the camera on my phone from across town? Or is it just within certain feet of the unit?

It is supposed to work over WiFi, so you theoretically can view it anywhere. In practice, I had two different units and both were defective --- neither one was ever able to connect to a WiFi network, despite multiple conversations with tech support. So, at least in my experience, the answer is that you cannot monitor it at all unless you connect directly to the unit.

The images / feed is viewed via an internet connection, so you should be able to view it from anywhere in the world.

Since it works off wifi, I assume you need to be within a specified proximity.

You can view it anywhere as long as you have a wifi or data connection, however the video feed is so choppy and lags so bad that I sent mine back.

Hi, Thank you for your interest to our product. Yes, as long as the set up is done correctly and your remote device have internet access, you will be able to see the image from your phone not being in the house. Best Regards, Irene Customer Service

It doesn't give you that great of pictures that far away. You need a pinhole camera for what you are thinking about doing. But remember spying is illegal! !!

No. the distant line is from the camera, not the display. BTW, this is an inferior product. It is ok at night, but during the day when the sun light is bright, you will not be able to see the image.

Yes. This is the camera only. You'll need some means of displaying what the camera sees.

I'm not sure.. I can only view the camera from inside my home. POINTLESS. I'm guessing I have to call my cable company to see how to access my secure network from a different network. So as of right now, it just takes up space. I'm not tech savvy, if you are then it could be a perfect item for you.

I suppose you could hook this camera up to your phone. It would be cumbersome, but possible. Personally, I would not use this method.

Depends on system. Camera is stationary on my system and the base unit can zoom

The key would be to get an app for your mobile phone and make sure you point it in the right direction. I would guess it would not matter what you mount it on as long as you have pointed to the nearest tower.

Im not sure. I am a droid user and I can do it from my phone. These cameras are nice. Go to your app store and look at some of them and just email the creator of the app if your not sure. allot of times they will list the cameras in the app description.

Once the camera is set up correctly on a phone, it can be viewed anywhere as long as there is internet on the phone.

Yes. I bought this for my sister in Tennesee and I can see my nephew and even move the camera here from Colorado. There is a slight lag due to distance but it works.

I am not sure of the total distance you will be able to go, It all depends on where it is located and if it has to go thru any thick walls etc. Mine is about 100 feet away from the router box on the far end of the house outside and is very sharp picture wise. I have had it drop out sometimes and have to restart the cam. Not sure that has anything to do with the distance or not.

If the estates are very close together it is possible that you can monitor one from the other. However, there are a lot of conditions to take into account in addition to distance. For example, if there are metal objects or structures between the camera transmitter in one building and the monitor receiver in the other building, the signal will be severely diminished. To view the transmitted image, the receiver must be connected to an external monitor of some sort.

It is not a wireless camera. You can only view it from the handheld monitor piece.

No. The camera can be a few feet from the iPhone/pad. They don't need to be touching. The camera is entirely contained in the Sony unit, the iPhone/pad functions only as a viewfinder/controller.
