Will this work in a heavily wooded area?

Not very well in my experience. We live in a wooded area and the unit was VERY unreliable. Also, the company is "non-existent" when it comes to trying to contact them for support. Look at the LoCATor. Best money I ever spent and faultless up to 4 miles!

A big maybe. Mine works great for my wood working, not sure about the environment you're talking of.

According to the specs it should, depending if you have any other objects in the way i.e., lots of trees.

Yes, it totally works outdoors, and is especially good when it hits the side of a building. We've used it in our back yard with no problems - about 15ft from the speaker to the unit - and it picked up the music with no problems. In terms of visible range, we've also used it inside in a middle school gym, and the lights reached the ceiling and walls easily. Hope this helps.

No. Over that distance at legal transmitting power you will need line of sight with no trees and not even much in the way of clouds or mist between the two points. That is with *ANY* consumer wifi adapter you buy, not just this product.

These are used in a hilly wooded area. I have not tried them past 2 miles and I have not used them in open areas.

Yes. It would work on a tree. But you would need to purchase bolts, the bolts provided probably won't work.

I would say technically it would work outdoors, but I wouldn't do it. Like the others have said, I think the weather would affect it in many ways. Plus it weighs a ton!! Not fun or easy to move around!

I have densely wooded areas around my house as well that are within the roaming area and I have had no issues whatsoever. We have our monitor set up on the second floor of our house on an outside wall and it seems to have a really good, fairly consistent range that does not break when our dogs head into the woods. They have tested the boundary along every square inch of the 300 foot radius we set up and we've had no issues.

As any light would, it falls off softly as the distance increases. We have woods behind our house about 50 feet away. If outside, we can see into the woods a ways. If a flat level ground, it might be useable over 100 feet. This is at a brighter setting which is adjustable. The light is more like a flood light than a spot light.

Yes it will work in bad weather. However, leaves or other wind-driven debris may trigger it. It can work thru a row of trees and probably thru a wooden building (not sure). My biggest problem was the sun moving thru trees constantly set it off, so it was too many false alarms to be useful. It alarmed every morning when the sun came up, and every evening at sunset. As long as you can locate in a clear area they work fairly well, but everyone I know who has one is plagued by false alarms. I started with the cheapy ones from harbor freight and thought all the false alarms were due to the cheapness, but these were the same--I think the technology is the same--so you might try a cheap one first.

Depends on your area. I live in the mountains and it is not working all that well. Keep looking.

I can only guess that it may do the job that you are hoping it will do. I use ours at the wood pile so I can stoke the outdoor wood burning furnace and get a coverage area of about 75 ft by 50 ft. Hope this helps you make your decision!

I have some large shrubs/trees that I use it with. Works well in all of the positions. 1 acre is a lot, you'll have to probably recharge your battery pack or buy an extra one for all the work you'll do. Good luck, I love mine.

This product could do what you want. As others have noted, it really depends on having a line of sight connection with no trees in the way. The antenna distance above ground will also make a difference, higher = better. Also note you will need a Wi-Fi hub to provide Wi-Fi services at the distant end.

Yes. Works best if it is outside. Just make sure it protected for harsh weather.

Possibly in covered areas, but I wouldn't use it areas exposed to rain/snow.
