IR Distance: Can anyone clarify/confirm this?

You can see out 15 ft no problem I could see across my entire house with it, but I do have white walls and that may have helped it a bit, could see an easy 20 indoors.

Not sure off hand. The IR light is visible to humans though, if that is what you are referring to. You do have to be in front of the light in order to see it. The estimated range of 80 yards for the IR is pretty accurate. Much farther if a reflective object. One thing about this scope that isn't mentioned anywhere is that after powering up the scope and the view is green you can turn it off and still have the same night vision. I have even taken the batteries out and it still works!

This was the part that took a few tries to get right. At the 7 foot mark (measuring From the 1/8th inch jack) is a junction where the 3 emitters split. You have 3 feet from this junction, per emitter. I found some of my devices preferred when the emitter was farther away, but my TV (Sanyo) needed the emitter pasted right next to the IR receiver. Kind of a pain as this was a trial & error exercise, but it's continued to work flawlessly over time once I got the placement just right.

No. It is still IR meaning it only has a few feet of range and must be in the same room. Also, it is probably not compatible with cable box or TV. It is designed speficially for computer and Raspberry Pi or other media center that requires IR control.

I am using it to synchronize data between a laptop computer and an old Palm iiixe. As another respondent noted,you need software to do the sorts of things you describe. I'm not sure such software is available. The IR adapter is really like a "cord" between your computer and another device (printer,another computer, organizer,etc.)that has infrared capability. It doesn't do much more than provide an opportunity for interaction between devices. Software can make use of that opportunity.

True, Sharon, the IR unit is mostly metal and quite heavy on account of that. Make no mistake, however, it is imported from China nonetheless!

The ir receiver is 20' away from where I sit and the equipment is 6' away from the tv. The repeater has to be stuck right on the equipment. The repeater or receiver can be mounted anywhere as long as it's cord will reach.

Specifically for the iR emitters, my experience has been the same as Mega-Watt reports. They function best stuck on the equipment and covering the iR sensor on each device. I do have a cabinet where I was able to stick an emitter on a rail facing multiple devices, however performance was very unpredictable. Since the device comes with multiple emitters I utilized one per device, routing the multiple cables from the repeater. When finding the iR receiver on each device, I utilized a small flashlight to identify the pass through windows on the glossy glass and plastic finished fronts of my equipment when the user manual was unavailable or did not specify the location. With respect to the iR receiver, my experience has been excellent across distances up to 40 feet in one arrangement where we can actually change the channel and control the TV through a doorway to our entertainment room.

I don't, but I can tell you that it seems to faithfully receive and reproduce IR signals, and has been very reliable. Sorry I can't be more specific to your situation.

It's an IR remote, so you need a line of sight to the sensor on the camera. No need to be directly in front of the camera, but the sensor has to see the remote. I haven't checked the actual range.

Not sure, maybe one year, check the IR website. This is an outstanding product!

If your not seeing a difference let me ask you these 2 questions.1. Are pointing the IR Illuminator in the same direction as the camera?2. Is your camera IR corrective? The camera.has to be IR corrective for this to work.

Sorry, but I have never used Linux so I couldn't tell you. But I will say that the IR receiver was a little finicky, but overall worked, with some delay.

Sure did. All of the clicking drive me nuts. I thing I have mine set at 5% tolerance and it fixed it. Going to have to find your own mix that works for your environment. It will pick up even the slightest light from like oven clocks to neighbors lights outside. It sees it all. My buddy had to leave his ir off and just use an external ir light. Good luck.

Yes and no - Yes it works as traditional IR way, but that requires clear line of sight between two. You cannot use radio feature of 600ex-rt to trigger 430ex

The IR receiver cabel that comes with the kit is 6 feet long. You can by a 25 feet extension. Thisis what I did and it works perfectly.

No, there's no need. No infrared, but some kind of bluetooth or similar is used. But I cannot help you with the range, maybe in the camera specifications...
