How is the range on these cameras? We have a 2,300 square foot home, has anyone had an issue with losing connection?

Range seems pretty good.... I've had the monitor with me all over the house and outside and have never lost connection

Ours is great. Our house is 6800 sq foot and never have a problem. Both cameras are upstairs and we are downstairs. Like PP said,- keep it plugged in, especially at night when sleeping or the battery alarm will start beeping. Battery life is poor.

I don't think that will be a problem for you at all. We have a smaller house but live on several acres and I have been probably 20-30 yards away and still had reception. Just watch the battery. Keep it plugged in unless you need to walk off

My home is 2 story with about 2000 square feet of living space. Camera is on the second floor and I have taken the monitor in to the basement with no issues.

I agree with Mr. Holley's and Ms. Hines' answers. I ran my wires about 200' to two cameras - both connected (with two others) to the same DVR.

My house is 1300 sq ft and they all worked ...I even had one on shed which is not in the house but within five feetOverall was nice but they're not wireless

The unifi inside starts dropping at about 35-50' when it hits walls and various normal interior house surroundings. My house is 120' long I set one in center and one on each end to get the phones that are the hardest to get to work properly. The issue is mostly with the device in use rather than the Unifi do not expect 300' to be a solution as most devices will never be able to talk back at that range. But at there price it was a steal to set up a real 1st class WiFi system.

Obstructions/trees and other factors come into play with this - honestly only you can answer that question - we have a similar size house and property is large and only have two cameras based off the front of the house - porch and driveway - but then that's us. Best of luck - they're good cameras we'll say that for sure!

My house is 3200j sq.ft. and I've never had any issue in any part of the house. Like most wireless devices, 300' is a good rule of thumb and that depends on the type and quantity of obstructions between the transmitter and receiver.

I have had security cameras in the past that did not have very good resolution. These cameras have very good resolution and I would suggest that you probably don't need Zoom. All of the features operate through the internet connection. Once setup is complete the camera does not use your computer but works directly through the internet. You can wire directly through your router or through wireless, both methods work equally well. The wireless range for my cameras (I have about 14 of them in use) is around 50 feet through walls. You can login from any remote computer (windows or mac) - no special remote viewing software needed. I have had security cameras in the past that did not have very good resolution.

I cannot answer that question, but will say I have been having more problems with mine besides the range. It seems devices that spend extended time in the area that is almost in range loose connectability when brought into range. Other devices move in and out of range with no issues. Sorry I could not help.

I have two 9821W cameras. The one with the extension cable is being used wireless. The other one is in a part of my house that does not get a good wireless signal from the router so that one is on ethernet. Amazingly the wireless camera performance is better than the ethernet camera when accessing remotely.

I use one with a distance of about 300 feet (about 100 meters) and barely have the required signal strength. Also, the output signal is weak at a distance of 15 feet in my house.

I've only used these indoors. To assess a true range, one would have to use them outdoors and walk as far as possble and then estimate how far apart the units were. Indoors, my partner and I were working in a 3-story residential building of about 6000 square feet. I had good reception everywhere in the building. It was of typical wood frame, sheet rock construction. In a steel framed building, results might have been different.

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.

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

We are currently working on our cameras. We have had an ongoing problem with them not staying on wirelessly. So with the help of a neighbor we have ordered a network switch to assist our router. We ran cat 5e wire yesterday and as soon as the switch arrives we will have them all hardwired into the house. Hopefully this will solve our problem with the cameras not staying on. We have all cameras running on regular household extension cords.

I totally agree with the other tow answers!!! I've never had a problem keeping connected --- tow story house ---big yard and no problems

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. It depends on how many other wireless signals are in the area. Sometimes I've had a range up to 50 yards or more. Other times not as much. 30 yards shouldn't be a problem.

These are good products however, a lot of the "range" id dependent upon the type equipment that you have i.e., language being utilized and whether its laptop and/or desktop. Especially important will be be type input Modem being utilized at your home for outward dissemination. It all adds into the equation. I have personally used these years ago for equipment in my home (large area home) and with a laptop at the end of the house; it worked satisfactorily. I would highly - very highly - recommend that you contact your local provider and inqjuire with them as to the range requirements for their channel input/output regarding the usage of the Netgear PL AV200. We were fortunate in that our Provider happens to be Bright House, one of the best in the industry if not the best - for full range of connection. Their input modem (located in our home) is the Ubee with wide-area coverage and no additional expander/boosters are necessary. Again, check with you local Provider and they should be able to provide you with the exact parameters you need to follow i.e., distance from their input modem, etc..... Sorry, but equipment these days is relevant to Provider-provided Modem equipment; thats the main goodie in it all........... Good luck...... Skip
