Has anyone determined if 50ft is really the limit? That is not much distance, other remotes work 150-300 ft

I've gone about as far as 75ft and did not notice any change in the control. It was line of sight which makes a big difference.

Ours works up to at least 50 feet, but the range will depend a lot on what is in between (walls, concrete metal etc) the hand set and the base station.

I'm sorry I misunderstood. I am using my siren with a transmitter an door sensor. I have mounted my siren 35ft from transmitter. I 'm not using the remote.

i'd say about 20-25 feet unobstructed. i think its about the same as stock. not sure what kind of remote the guy saying 50-75 meters has. that's close to a football field away, an no remote i've ever seen works at that distance.

The remote is a direct line of sight so the remote has to point directly at the sensor. That being said mine has worked at about 4-8 feet away.

for the remotes to work you must have the light facing you. remote works up to about 30ft. if you have more than one light close to each other the remote may change both at the same time. jlboutdoors

We got it to work line of sight at about 30' ... have not been able to get it to work at 50'

I've used it at over 300 feet. The distance is impressive. It works smoothly even at that distance.

In long range mode the maximum distance is 50 ft. Do not know if that could be extended.

I have tested the range, and it works very well at long-distance. I can't ever see it not work, because by that time I'm too far away to see the screen. I'd say the range max is probably 35 feet.

Make sure that your radio can receive IR signals. Mine did not so I was unable to use it at all. I would imagine that it would work as long as you have a good line of sight. Most IR remotes work up to about 15 feet.

If you have a clear line of sight, up to 200 yards however I do not recommend pushing it. I place my caller within 50 yards, preferably with me in an elevated position for maximum visibility. There's nothing worse than placing your caller way the hell out there only to realize your remote's battery is weak and ya have to close the distance to get it to go on. LOL We've all done this. If calling in bears I will place it 75-100 yards out but that's the furthest you ever really need. Gettum close! Sit still, sit in the shade and enjoy watching em come in.

I do not have that problem. My remote controls the device from across the room, which is probably 15 feet, without any difficulty. Sounds like the device or remote is faulty that Barb W. has.

I have had mine out to`1200 feet, too far me to see it well enough to control it. If the AA's are near end life the transmitter only controls out to maybe 800 feet.

It seems to work at least 300' from the control unit. My yard is big and has 9 zones, It works awesome all around the house,even out of direct line sight of the control box. Absolutley required if you do your own setting and adjustments. Worth every penny. Hope this helps. Jeff

Approx 15 - -20' I already had a pre-wired room so didn't need any more then a couple of feet. I don't know about the remote, but it has all the codes for other tv's.

Depends on how good the batteries are in the remote and if u have a clear unobstructed view.I would say the max would be 100ft
