I would like to put a camera on my property about 30 miles away and would like remote viewing. Is this possible with this camera?

Yes you can with this camera. What i like about this cam is the wider angle it has compared to the rest. It covers a lot more space than regular cam. For remote viewing what you need to have is a networked dvr. Which would allow you to connect to the internet and log in from anywhere with regular instructions. Hope this helps

what are you going to use to transmit the image back to you. it really sounds to me you are going commercial and need more equipment to use an local camera. There is an standalone IP camera that might fit your requirement

The image from the camera will not be viewable 30 miles away without additional equipment. A DVR with network connection is one way to view the image remotely.
1065102
Yes, but you need the appropriate recording and connecting device. It should allow Internet access in addition to the functions of recording and processing the images. You can set up, following the instructions, a good viewing connection for real time or replay remote. The camera is seperate and can be connected to most systems. Hope this helps!

Yes it is.... As long you have a smart phone such as an iPhone or a connection to the Internet then you can watch your camera anywhere in the world.... That is assuming that the DVR and related equipment will be at the same location as the camera.....

Once you turn the unit on with the remote, you can either select, take a picture or run video. Not sure on the other question since it is hard to use the menu but I am not real good on electronics.Important note. I captured a Bigfoot on mine at 60 yards but the camera made it look much further away. Not happy with that! Jay Stewart

Total clear is about 300' but you have to derate that for walls and other obstructions. My camera in my shed is about 100' away and I have no problem connecting or streaming. If necessary, buy a dual band router with the new Wireless AC protocol. It's much faster than Wireless N and has a better range. Install a Wireless AC bridge in your barn and run an ethernet cable to your camera. That would solve any problem if you are greater than 300' away. The camera could work as far as 1000 ft with the Wireless AC.

We have the camera mounted on a garage about 60' from our cottage. I'm guessing we are getting about 100' field of view at that distance. More than adequate.

I beleive this would be an option, in my application I was able to connect remotely to my camera and control and observe as well as have the camera send via email or text as many as 6 images when motion was sensed. I used this successfully in my application and was very pleased with its reliabilty. Image quality was excellent and send/receive times were in the area of 10 seconds.

The wireless remote works from as far as 30 feet but you must be in front of the camera for it to work. The cord remote can be used from any direction but it is only 3 feet long.

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.

Yes - I have the camera outside and the receiver inside attached to my TV about 25 feet away

I had the same question. After speaking with people who were well versed with this issue, I came to this conclusion. There is no immediate add-on product that will extend the range any more economically than to just purchase a higher grade product or model. Ensure you have direct line of sight between camera and receiver and you should get good 300' results. If you need a lot more range, buy a more expensive product geared for such expectations.

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.

No, you just need internet service. The remote viewing is not good. It's a small pic image and you can't manipulate it in any way. You don't get a clear image. And it goes off. But, the Logitech WiLife cameras are great. You can also Google Logitech WiLife Remote Viewing to find more information on this.

It works and as for distance the further away you are the smaller the picture, so the answer is I have not tried it at 30 feet and my office is not set up for that but if I am 5 ft away the pic is smaller and therefore harder to see. So the answer is yes and no. Yes you will see something and no it won't be much.

Hi Wendy, thanks for your good question. The camera is completely self-contained. Even the MicroSD card for recording is included and pre-installed. For local viewing nothing else needed other than your existing wired or wireless router. For remote viewing your router needs internet service of some kind, for example cable modem internet service through Comcast. We even include mounting hardware for attaching the camera to a wall. Please note that this assumes that you have an outdoor power outlet near the camera, and that your power outlet has one of those covers that can close weathertight even when the included AC adapter is plugged into the outlet. If your home's existing power outlet doesn't have a cover like this, it can be purchased for $10 - $15 from any hardware store, and if your power outlet is further away, you'd need to consider extending the power cable or use the other method that we support for powering the camera, called PoE. With PoE, you can power the camera from up to 300 ft away using ordinary Cat5e network cable, but in that case you'd need to add a $30 PoE injector for a single camera, or a $120 PoE network switch such as the Netgear GS108PE that can power 4 cameras.

This camera is NOT A WIRELESS REMOTE camera. HARD-WIRED. You want something that is WIRELESS. I purchased this one for ALMOST the same reason and I ordered it too quickly, which I normally do not do. I am a Computer geek, so I kicked myself a lot when I opened the box. I wanted to place it on the security light outside my garage door, but it is hard-wired, which cannot be used in a car UNLESS you have a router in your car ;-) I would suggest a wireless FOSCAM, which seems like it would suit your needs exactly. You can set it up on your router first with its own IP address (easy to do, if you want to continue to email me, I will help you thru it) and THEN it will operate from your car REMOTELY. If you have a smart phone or tablet (tablet is what I use) there are free apps that will allow you to watch your car remotely from your camera. If you have a home network, you can then record any movement around your car (the camera will depend on what options come with it such as night vision and motion detection). Email me again if you need help at all. This particular model, I had to send back as it was hard-wired only, which means you would have had to run an RJ-45 cable from the camera to a router for video feedback. THIS WOULD NOT WORK FOR YOU ;-) To get a GOOD wireless remote camera, will take some research on your part, but I would suggest the Foscam or the Lorex, and depending how far your car is to your door or your wireless router, will depend on what model you purchase. I hope I have helped you. I learned the hard way, too, so do not be discouraged. Look around for the best deals. Amazon and Newegg both have some great camera deals for what you are looking for......Sherry

No. The remote can be anywhere in the area with the camera. I bought this to record motorcycle rides. I usually keep the camera on my jacket near my chest and the remote is attached to a belt loop on my pants. I reach down, press the button, there is a half second delay, and the device starts recording.

Yes, you shouldn't have any problem at that distance. I use mine mostly outside and for the best picture. I'm usually between 8 to 10 feet away from the screen, but when I have a whole bunch of kids there and I need the picture to be bigger I do back up to about 14 foot the picture gets a little fuzzy at that part, anyway I hope this helps
