What's a reasonable range to expect? Does it have to be line of sight?

So far I've been able to only get it to work within a room from one side to the other. I set up a test system between 2 rooms, and I got audio, but the video signal was not strong enough for the TV (LG) set to pick up. It works fine for my application, but what I need it for is pretty limited. Hope this helps.

I have the transmitter upstairs and the receiver about 90 feet away in a basement. In that environment it is flawless. This is a 1954 house built by a major contractor for himself. The floors are thick sit on steel beams and the walls are plasterboard on top of lathe.

I have the devises with 10 meters distance, but from second to first floor and with walls in the way. Because of that, the signal is not perfect and at the begining I had to keep fixing the receivers anthena. If the signal is within the same floor, and/or no or few walls in the way, there should be no problem. 10 meters are about 35-40 feet. There is no need of line of sight. It should work OK because in my case I almost have the devises one over the other in different floors, with stairs and 2 half walls in the way. Finally, if you buy it, the package instrutions do not include the detail of how to sincronize the devices, just have to press the top of the UFO looking thing.

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 had my wireless unit about 300 feet (100 yards) from the base but the reception started to get 'spotty.' I would say that 200 - 250 feet would be a good maximum range.

Mines about 200 feet. Straight line and receiver is upstairs. Put it closer to the house if you can.

It does not require line of sight, but you have to turn off all sound (Radio, TV, etc.) and be close to hear the sound. Just activate it and move from room to room. We have used it several times and have always found what we were looking for (we have several)

Depends on your "line of sight". 20-30 feet with an unobstructed line of sight. If you go into a different room or there are obstructions the distance is reduced.

Absolutely. I've done this test specifically from one end of my house to the other which actually goes through several rooms and walls and reception was crystal clear. Total range I would say was about 40 feet.

Yes... Line of sight actually is not required. This is a radio signal that will defract and bounce. It will attenuate some with dense materials, but mainly the low power will limit distance. Mine works over 35 yards or so.

Line of sight has not been an issue in my office. I have it plugged into my computer under my desk and it seems work well up to 20' or so from my desk

I can't imagine that either but I've never tried it more than 30ft away. No issues with my experience out to 30' Good luck

I have not had very good luck with the range or the sensitivty of this device. I bought two of them and one does seem to have a little better sensitivity then the other but neither are great. For the price, I have simply installed them at about seven feet high and point them in the direction that I want covered. I hope that just the site of them is a deterent to an intruder. Mine are installed outside of my house but they may work better installed inside.

Hi, thanks for your question. According to the product information, the range is up to 200 Ft between walls & up to 490 Ft in clear line of sight. For future reference, this information can be found to the right of the product picture on the Product Page. I hope this helps!

It doesn't need line of sight to be able to respond, however, it does need to be on the same floor. We live in a three storied house and my wife keys could be anywhere. We have to go to each floor to discover her keys. It has worked well when we needed it.

Line of sight. I wouldn't try it past 40 yards. With that being said I have called in all sorts of animals with mine at close range so I wouldn't necessarily worry about the remote range if you are properly camouflaged.

Line sight generally controls the range...they work well around my farm...I would be surprised if they worked more than a mile apart...They do work very well within the 1000 ft radius of the house that we usually work within

Connected to an ASV-30 (helmet) cam, I have observed an outdoor range of 28'-35' with a 50% battery strength. It does not require a line of sight. Indoor was slightly less, 20'-25'

I am able to get a range of around 50ft "line of sight" and about 20 ft indoors with walls.
