we had ours in our garage, so inside will work. You have to hook up wires to it, so the wires have to come inside. This unit should only be used on a timid dog and even then you do not know if it will work until you try it. Unless they have changed this system, the collars to this unit are not adjustable in sensitivity and strength level and our dogs were constantly going thru it. We ended up buying a different system by PetSafe. All PetSafe collars work together so if one collar doesn't work well on your dog another collar will. They all hook up the same way and can be put inside the house or garage. we had ours in our garage, so inside will work. You have to hook up wires to it, so the wires have to come inside.

I don't know if it will work inside....I have it outside and never had any problems with the transmitter....the problems are with the collar...they don't work as good..

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.

No it needs to plug into the wall. I returned it. Could not get it to work consistently over the internet.

The antenna uses a standard BNC connector so it could be changed out but I'd be careful as the wrong antenna could possibly damage the transmitter as some antennas are designed for receive only. I can say that the supplied ant on low power inside a house will easily transmit 1/4 mile so be careful as it is actually illegal to use due to power, but works great

No you can not it has to be plugged in. they have a new one out that is wireless.

It really depends on how far you want to transmit. It works great within the room, regardless of line of sight. You might get some chop if you get outside of the room depending on where you have the receiver. Mine is buried behind a heavy wood dresser, so it doesn't like when I go too far outside the room. I'm thrilled with mine though, it's perfect for my purposes.

Yes you can use it while it charges. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use it with a transmitter.

It does come with an IF transmitter which means it works best inside and/or darker outside situations, outdoor bright days it will not work or work only sporadically. It also cannot tolerate much wind

No. You do have to plug the transmitter into "the audio out" jacks on the TV. But then you can put the speaker anywhere you want without furtheeeer running of wiring. (It's easy)

I use it inside. I plugged it into one of the outlets, actually two as there are two separate items. I am not sure if it can be used outside. In the enclosed instructions, it did not say anything about the outside. Hope it helped.

True about the battery, if low it will not allow the set up to work. If you have a known good battery go through the setup. If you still have an issue you may have a bad device or other wireless devices blocking it. Also un plug (remove power) from the transmitter and if the light goes out it is wired wrong. The transmitter shoiuld only work when brske light is on.

The receiver in your home is plugged in to 110 wall outlet. The transmitters are battery powered

My sensor(transmitter) is located under the eves of the house at the front door. I have had it there one month and it is still working on the first 99 cent battery. But birds land on it(mostly at sundown) an give false signals (it needs occasional cleaning). I would think it is better to shelter the transmitter if possible.

it should be used outside at the point of connection to your home from the cable service. it also needs to be properly grounded to your electrical system to be funcitional. the cable company will have grounded their initial attachment, remove that ground and connect it to this device. make sure you have the cable feed from the company connected at the end that (i believe from memory) says "service", the other end will say something like "customer", that's where you connect the line that goes into the house. i also recommend securing this to the house structure via the mounting holes provided. make up your connections wrench tight to help prevent oxidation of the copper center which carries the signal. best of luck to you. remember, connect it outside at the point of attachment and ground it.

We have ours indoors on the ground floor and close to a window. It works well but we are also not too far from transmission sources.

As others have stated, while the speakers can be run off batteries (hence the portability) the transmitter must be plugged in.

Yes, both the transmitter and receiver need to be plugged in to an electrical outlet.
