I want to set this up in a small apt in my back yard, do I have to run the 60 ft wire from the main house to the apt?

That's correct. The system works great but it will require a cable connecting the receiver and transmitter.

i have the same setup from my huse to my shop. i used a two wire between the two intercoms. it works as it should. i am very pleased. ken

Yes there is no other way for you to install this device without running the wire. Unfortunately, any wire longer than 60ft has been found to compromise the signal and make the audible sounds difficult to interpret. Stay at 60 ft or less preferably and be very careful not to damage or twist excessively, or kink the wire because it is not heavy duty and it will affect the performance.

Yes, the wire is required for communication between the two stations. There are wireless models that may work for your situation. I used a wired model to save $$ and my setup was simple, between 2 rooms.
485641
Yes, this intercom is wired and requires a wired connection between both units.
485642
Yes, this this is a wired intercom. it is supplied with 60ft maximum wire you could less depending on the distance between the intercoms. you just coil up the excess wire. If you do not want to run wire then you need a wireless intercom system.

I use UTP Cat5e, and respect to the distance I don't have idea how much long distance of wire can it support

Yes, we have it setup in the house and in the stand alone garage. At least 200 ft. The buildings are on separate meters & it still works great. Just ensure it is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not a surge protector or extension cord as this causes static. Enjoy, one of the best things I ever bought

A connecting wire would need to be run between the two. It would be a choice of above or below the window. It could be run through the attic too. Since it's low voltage, there might be a power loss if it's too long. A good electrician could fish the wire through the cabinets and wall.

You will need a outlet to power it if using wifi. I think you can use POE on cat5, but not sure. I have it mounted high on the garage so I just drilled a hole through the siding and plugged it in.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I live in a two story town home. I simply mounted it in the attic at the highest point possible. My town home has a central wiring box with a splitter that connects TV outlets in all the bedrooms and the living room, so I just dropped an RG6 cable from the antenna into the central box, and connected it to the splitter. You can also mount it outside on a pole, which is supposed to provide even better reception. For me, mounting it inside, on the wall would have been tacky. I wanted it out of site, so the attic was perfect. If you do not have access to the attic, and your apartment is not prewired with coax cable, the only thing you can do is mount it on the wall behind your TV.

I intend to use at least 500 feet. I don't think there is a limit, so long as the wire is thick enough for 7 ampere.

No sir. I had to run wires through walls over here. It is not as hard as you would think. They came with about 50-60 ft of wire. All I had to do was drill through, lead wire, and bolt cameras on to, what ever surface you're placing them. (Tip: I used wires fasteners to hold the wires up on walls and ceiling.)

It's like 100 feet i think. I have a 225 sq ft livingroom and i still have about 60 feet of wire left over.

You need the amp as close to the antenna as possible. In my case it is just a 3' cable from the antenna with the amp mounted on the mast holding the antenna to the roof. You are losing signal strength with every foot of cable from the antenna to the amp so you want it to be as short as possible. The power supply on the other hand can go anywhere. Typically it is near the TV or the distribution point for the rest of the TVs in the house. The power supply can be in the attic if you have 120VAC outlet to plug it in there or it can be in you basement or living room.

It needs to be pointed in the direction of your local stations antennas. Goggle search your local stations to find proper direction. Also installing in attic does take away some of the distance it can pickup. Longer wire runs need a booster to retain good picture. Hope this helps

You can, but I think you'd be better off finding a way to attach it to the window frame and run the wire. Mine is outside, and the wire goes inside straight to a small amplifier then to the coax house wiring.

No wire. You would probably better off buying your own anyhow and selecting the proper gauge needed for the distance needed.

6 acres might be a little too much. You will definitely have to buy extra wiring. Be prepared, my yard is only about 4,000 sq ft and it took me two days to install the wiring. Also if you decide to bury the wiring take care to bury it just a half inch or so otherwise the signal will be weak. I would suggest just attaching it to the fence itself, it will make it an easier task and the signal will be stronger.

It must be plugged into electricity but it wireless. However, the range is a little limited. Mine is about 60 feet from the main unit but doesn't pickup the signals. Maybe not have the clearest transmission route.

You actually have to have an electrical box installed behind it that leads to a live source. So if you have a box below you run a BX Cable down to that outlet.

It would mount outside of your building on a pole (unit comes with mount but not pole) point it in direction of where you want signal. Run cable indoors to poe injector (included). Then another cable goes from injector to your router / modem / Internet . Program and enjoy 100% signal.
