How mane meters does it cover an do the type of walls affect the transmition? Thank you

Not sure about meters, it will reach about 70 feet though, transmission has not been a problem thru wood/drywall type walls. The unit has worked out great for our purposes, with Mom living in our house.

Ours works well within the walls of a large frame home. Outdoors, it goes about 100 meters.

This item never worked for me. We wanted to have it available for my husband to call us in the barn, but it didn't transmit that far. We were told to replace the batteries. We did and it still didn't work for more than fifteen feet

I cannot tell in meters but we have a large home with solid brick walls and it carries through the entire downstairs and also upstairs. I have not gone outside to see if it still works there. For the money it is a great help

I used it for a two bedroom Apartment and it worked great. I imagine it works in a mansion with 20 rooms so long as the walls are not made of steel or brick. I think one review someone had a problem in a upstairs house but most of the reviews I read stated it worked fine. Some folks stated that they got the call from outside the house every time. I could not afford a super alarm system and the price I could not beat. Not certain what your walls are made of or how far the rooms are from your living room etc. but these are designed to do the job. Like I stated I had no problems. One review stated that the pager worked great in their 1400 square foot house, so there you have it! I used it for a two bedroom Apartment and it worked great.

The range between the pendant and pager is 150 feet. Sometimes it is difficult for me to hear the pendant between walls. But it works well...must make sure the batteries are always working.

a hundred feet or so -- depends on how many walls and other things might be causing interference..

If it is absolutely line of sight with no obstructions it may work. Signal attenuation and multipath reflections as a result of going through walls may prove to be a challenge if you are expecting a perfect picture.

I thought I read somewhere where each metered covered so many square feet. If you don't have enough to cover your entire house the rodents will Mirgrate to a room or area not covered. Found this out the hard way.

Line of sight definately helps. You can set it up horizontal or vertical and get a little wiggle room with the signal. I've set up one at 3\4 of a mile and some trees and it gets 90% signal strength. The other is about 500 yards and gets 99% and it goes through a building external wall too.

I have sensors at about 45 feet but with almost visual reach from the main module so I think it depends of the materials of the walls and stuctures near the units

No it will not, you will need to put a virtual wall sensor in that area. You would have to move it yourself.

I have mine set about 40 and 50 ft from receiver, both of which are transmitting through one exterior wall and 1 or 2 interior framed walls, with the receiver near mid point, and no problems after a couple of months. As others stated, the update is not immediate, so give it a while for the initial reading. Also, if you move the sensors, I found it helpful to take the batteries out of everything and start again - only takes a couple of minutes and gives some peace of mind. I think without heavily insulated walls, the range is probably more but have no proof.

It uses radio frequencies (not infrared). Yes, it will go through windows and walls. I can't comment on the range, as the furthest I've used it was about 30'.

Do not see any problem, you will have to put a heat protection at the point where you go through the wall. may need to check with building code requirements for that.

Yes, the device transmits a radio signal that will go through most walls. The receiver for these signals emits infared light pulses just like the remotes that came with your units in another room, so this remote must be placed so the light it emits is seen by the sensor on the units being controlled.

It would hide it about 75%; I had the same issue with 5-6 layers of previous wallpaper that wouldn't come completely off. This paper covered it fairly well, although the "dips" are not invisible they are camouflaged well enough - HUGE improvement

My house doesn't have cinder block walls, but I hung mine in a window and it works well. I'm also about 50 miles from a transmitter. I have noticed that the sun position in the sky does affect some of the stations during some times of the day.

I have a cinderblock house covered in stucco and 50's plaster on the inside. My garage is stucco also. I have a sensor inside my garage and the main unit can still read the sensor through both of them and about 20 ft away. clear open area this will do 100 ft no problem.

My understanding is that it would extend the area and that properly placed apart could cover the majority of 1.5 acres. One transmitter in my case is covering 3/4 acre and if I had a second transmitter at the other end of my house, it would cover over an acre. The one thing to keep in mind is that the coverage is a oval type shape, so there would be some overlap with two transmitters depending on how close they were to each other. I have been using for a couple of years and it has kept my dogs out of the road which was my purpose for buying the system.

Hi Kelle,The transmitter is the center of the circle and the radius can go up to 90' or 180' across the entire circle. Your yard will need to be very flat and your house should have wood walls and there shouldn't be many trees if any in your yard. Hills of any sort, brick or aluminum siding and trees can cause the fence to have range issues in those areas. If you can set the transmitter in the very center of your yard it could cover a portion of it. Let us know if you have more questions.Thanks,EZDogFences

We have only used inside building with it passing through walls @ a distance of 150' I am not sure about distance for line of sight.
