Will the wi-fi work if camera is outside house &amp; phone/tablet is inside house (assuming it's within the specified 90 ft range), going thru walls?

I don't think so. It only works if the camera is within a few feet of the phone/tablet. The card's wifi lives on the battery of the camera, so don't expect it to be very powerful.

Actually it doesn't work like that. The camera itself creates a local wifi network, and your phone connects to ITS wifi network. (Manual includes a password).

My wifi is located downstairs and the kids can be upstairs on the other side of the house with no problems. haven't tested exactly how far they can go, but hope this helps!

Well, it will depend on several variables- the bandwidth you have and the power of the router/wifi unit you have as well as considering any obstructions such as walls, etc. This model is meant to be an indoor camera. The company does make cameras for outdoor use. Depending on the distance, you may be able to extend the wifi range with one of the various such devices on the market.

Mine is at least 75ft. Can't tell you exactly since I'm not anywhere near it right now but around that in addition to an exterior wall and two interior walls. It works great! My cellphone hardly picks up the wireless signal but the camera does just fine.

Depends on the router. And your connection. The stronger the with fi the better. Most places in a med house will be fine. If the signal is week it will just take longer to send pics to the frame.

I would estimate the range to be a few houses away. So you can have the wifi modem inside and use the adapter to pickup clearer signal outside. It's not as far as most people say though.

Sorry, your metal building will shield all wi-fi signals coming from the house. You'll need to run a hard line to your building.

I'm not sure how far, but my router is in my basement, and my camera was upstairs on the 1st floor....I would imagine as long as you have a signal for your cell phone, you'd have it for the camera.

I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but as long as the camera is connected to and in range of your Wi-Fi it will work. My Wi-Fi is in the basement and I have cameras on both the first and second floors of the house. You can view it on your phone or computer anywhere in range of the Wi-Fi simply by logging in to the Wi-Fi address of the camera. In order to view it from somewhere outside your Wi-Fi range you will need to do port forwarding. (Port forwarding allows your smart phone or whatever your using to view the camera access to your router) Once that's done you can view the cameras from anywhere in the world as long as the camera is still connected to the Wi-Fi in your house.

I had the same question so I moved the camera around the house. So far, walking down hallways, etc., it works at about 70 feet. I am very pleased with that.

Yes it will. It sends and receives information in a similar fashion to a wireless laptop. If you have a weak signal, or you camera is outside you may want to add the larger antenna. If your wireless signal must pass through the roof, you may have problems, but just being under a metal roof should not affect it. Foscam website has searchable FAQ that may also be helpful.

Mine works up to 20 feet but it also depends on the placement of the unit. I live in an older home and we have noticed the connection is very weak if the wireless/Bluetooth connection is trying to go through a load bearing wall.

Ricardo, This is not correct. It will work on other networks. You only need to set-up the iphone and the camera plugged in to do the initial setup (like at home). Once set-up, you can take your camera anywhere, when you plug it in (power) to the wall, just open your app and change the wifi network to to pulbic (hotel) one, and enter password. Should work fine for your use.

Ours works well within the walls of a large frame home. Outdoors, it goes about 100 meters.

I had a similar problem. I moved the camera closer to the wireless modem and the problem was solved. I believe the wireless range is very limited.
