On the pictures here the camera has a big antenna on the last picture, smaller antennas on the other pictures. So whats the actual antenna size like?

It's the smaller antenna, about 2 1/2", and I've had WiFi connection problems with this camera. Also, if you're purchasing this camera, make sure you are getting the 2013 version which is the most recent.

A 2.4gzh wifi antenna for a router will screw onto either camera or monitor. You should be able to find an extension in computer wifi antennas. I have several laying around that screw right on.

I'm more concerned with the image quality issue. They're getting 12 MP onto a really tiny sensor. The pixel density is 43 MP per square CM. That's really pushing it. Serious cameras (like DSLRs) tend to be under 5, sometimes even under 2. They use way bigger sensors, up to the size of a 35 mm picture, for a similar or not-much-higher pixel count. On paper this camera is exactly what I need, but I'm going to wait for some reviews before I put my money down for one. (Shouldn't have to wait too long, fortunately.)

The long thin one with the antennae is the transmitter which signal the short square one that sits on the camera shoe information to the camera: ie: make an exposure or take a time release image. However the one that I had and returned was not working. I hope you have better luck.

Backup camera yes, not 100% sure about XM antenna, you may need an adapter.

It was about 3 feet. In my opinion, NOT long enough to do any good! I was only able to pick up 1 channel....and it was glitching really bad. So I gave the antenna to a friend. My friend only picked up 2 channels with it....and they were both glitching. It's not a good product.

mounting bracket is 4.5" x 3.125" (excluding the antenna). The camera tube arcs up above the mounting bracket by about 3/4"

Bigger the antenna the better the reception. If you don't mind the 6 foot wip you'll be fine.

The size of the device is 3.5" x 1.625 " x .625" but this does not include the antenna. I have used uses this device to connect to Bluetooth enabled printers and have had good luck with it. Have had some trouble getting the unit paired with the printer and had to repeat the pairing process several times. But once connected it worked well to about 30 ft.

I just drilled a hole tonight for it... 1" in diameter. Previous cameras I have opened up and removed the plug and wiring from and fed it through the wall from the other side but I didn't attempt that here. For what it's worth, the base plate did cover the entire 1" hole.

It isn't much bigger than the camera. Very rough measurements are 1.5" d x 2.75" w x 2.75" h.

Don't know. I published a new picture of the old and new antennas which you an compare to your Sony. Hope this helps.

I have one of these cameras and it's length/width/height is about 4" x 1" x 2.5". The box it came in is not even 8" long, so i'm not sure where those dimensions came from.

It will work, but the antenna will not stand all the way up. It will still show a good image or video

No idea. I finally pulled mine off the dash and trashed it. I was having power connection issues. The USB port on the camera had come loose. Guess I should have never looked at footage.

My wife has the camera right now so I cant give exact dimensions, however , the camera is what I would consider "Small", approximate dimensions are 5" Long, approx.3 1/2 " tall and about an 1 1/2" thick. Hope that helps.

I never tried to see how far the signal would actually reach, but one of the cameras is located on the back corner of my 48' long house under the eave, and the other is located on the front corner of my house on the same side pointed in another direction, also mounted under the eave of the roof. The monitor/lcd screen is located by a window in a computer room about 15' from the camera in the back, and about 25' from the camera in the front. The reception is indicated by a status bar ( one line -five lines, like a cell phone I guess ) on the screen for each camera. The closest camera in the back shows four bars, the one in the front shows three bars. The antennas on the cameras were moved ( they spin around ) until optimum reception was found.
