what is the range for camera to router(distance)?

I had the same question so I moved the camera around the house. So far, walking down hallways, etc., it works at about 70 feet. I am very pleased with that.

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.

my furthest camera is about 100 feet from the base there are a few walls in between them i have zero signal loss plus my cameras are downstairs and the base unit is upstairs

Hi Lisa. Basically you need to give your wifi router "permission" to have your camera transmit past its firewall. It's a little technical. You have to "open" a port using port forwarding. There may be a YouTube video that describes this using your brand of router.

Yes you can. But use a switch, not a router on the far end. Assuming you have a router/gateway on the sending side. I have 6 pc's and 12 ip cameras running off the far end of one of these, no issues. Cams are on a separate vlan and work great.

If you want to access your camera through internet remotely,IP forwarding in your router is a must. After setting, you'll no longer need to access your router in a remote location. We give Linksys for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp-R-eHiQco&feature=related

I don't have exact range but I was worried about it before I purchase it reading the descriptions. I live in a two story house and I have my camera up in my girls room and I can take the video receiver anywhere in the house and it works. I don't have a huge house about 1600 square feet but did not have problems downstairs and through walls. I see other people had problems with this so it probably depends how thick your walls are...

I do not recommend using any of these wireless cameras but instead find far better performance by connecting to my router via Ethernet cable. WiFi just can't keep up. Most of the other folks having issues probably would do better by running an Ethernet cable to the camera.

I believe the technical max range is 300 feet but that is probably if there are no obstructions. I have had no problems using the camera from anywhere inside my house. But when I took it outside, which was about 40 feet away from the transmitter and had several walls in between, the signal had some issues. Overall I really like this camera and it works very well for my needs.

The range is probably up to about 150 feet at nearly full throuput - I use the router in my home and even in the distant bedrooms and outside the throughput has been strong - hope that helps

connect the camera via LAN (hardwired) cable to your router first. You should have DHCP setup on your router to auto assign the IP address. I had this same problem even using the LAN cable, had to return it and never bought another one. I bought a DLINK instead.

I initially connected the camera to set it up in terms of changing the password, setting up the wireless info, port forwarding and recording. After that you can place it anywhere within range. I also changed something in the router to increase the ms in which the signal was sent from my router which increased range and the quality of the recordings.

Yes; by running the cable you are essentially extending your network by adding another router. Wifi will work fine as long as you are within range. Your camera setup should work the same way.

The cameras must be plugged into an electrical outlet for power, that has nothing to do with them being able to record. The distance advertised is up to 500'. Without obstructions, maybe. Realistic, 150-200'. I added taller antennas on a couple of mine to improve performance

When it works, it seems to have decent range. I have a 4 bedroom house. Router is upstairs in farthest room. One camera is on the other side of house in kitchen bi say when it works because it's real nice all around when it's up and running But it seems every time I leave and go remote, they go off line. I don't know if it's a temp thing or what. But it's frustrating and defeats the purpose

My camera is located in a remote motor coach that is at least 75 to 100 feet away. It also has to send the signal through the coach wall (metal skin) and the house wall (stucco) and one interior wall. The signal showing on the screen is five bars (full strength). I would therefore imagine that the range would be quite a distance farther as long as there are not too many large metal or electric/electronic pieces of equipment between the camera transmitter and the receiver.
