Hi, I'm wondering what the maximum distance you can get the viewing device from the intercom is? Thanks.

Hello, we recommend the distance from the indoor unit and outdoor no more than 30 meters (98ft)

500 ft is a stretch. Mine is currently about 50 ft from the router, and I'd imagine (speculating here) that it would work well until 100-300 feet with a clear line of sight. I'd suggest looking into a wifi repeater - a quick Google search provided some good resources.

The farthest I have gone is across my backyard, which is about 135 feet, without losing signal. This was an unobstructed view to my Samsung Note. If I went behind the shed the signal started to get choppy which was around the 135 foot mark.

I'm pretty confident we connected to the TV. We were in a very heavily wooded and isolated location. We were able to get a signal from a city about 45 miles away, but it was spotty at best and weak.

Based on my tests, it is about 30ft from the interior unit. At 40ft the signal is the same as if I didn't have the device. The signal is perfect within 15ft.

I am not sure of the total distance you will be able to go, It all depends on where it is located and if it has to go thru any thick walls etc. Mine is about 100 feet away from the router box on the far end of the house outside and is very sharp picture wise. I have had it drop out sometimes and have to restart the cam. Not sure that has anything to do with the distance or not.

Tavis, I'm looking for a similar solution - how did you do it in the end? did you use the 2.4ghz to get that kind of distance?

Mine works 20 to 25 ft. away. I have been very happy with it. You have to follow the initial calibration procedure exactly or the remote won't work properly or probably not at all. If I remember (?) the procedure included my other remote so they are calibrated together.

The range of the handset to the base is at least 1/4 mile. We use them at the barn and the base is in the house. No setup for the intercom - just push the button on the handset or base. Same goes for finding a lost handset - which REALLY comes in handy!

I do not think this device can help you at that range. The first challenge is for the unit to pick up the signal, strong enough for the display to show all three signal strength lines (which is what the instructions recommend). Only then, can you get the unit to repeat or extend the signal to its maximum new range. In my case, my objective is to enhance my signal strength on the second floor of my house. I literally had to connect the unit in an outlet directly over the room where the source router is in order to get all three signal strength marks. After that, I can say that the signal on the top floor was marginally improved. For the price paid, I guess I am marginally satisfied. I got a slightly improved signal for a small amount of money. But, again, if you expect for this unit to pick up the signal from 100 feet, and then extend it further, my best guess is that you will be disappointed. Good luck.

I checked it at a distance of 15 feet and it worked. Since I sent this to my sister in another country I cannot test the range now. But in that country they may not be using it more than 25 feet. I know that they are very happy with this device.

I am not impressed with this product...the distance quoted just is not true. Personally, I would look for a different device.

Hi David,I'm not sure what the 'maximum' range on this is, but I can get mine to work fine from approx. 30ft from my Macbook Retina.Hope this helps,Douglas

It says in the connection guide that THe Range is 30feet.I haven't tried that far, but i can tell the device works really well. I'll try 30 feet this days and let u know

Yeah I agree with Danny, but with some creative engineering you can still boost the signal distance. The only way to boost the signal of something like this would be to utilize the interrupt pin and have it trigger from a read on the external antenna, Which would actually be pretty interesting to code and build. Hope this helps!

I never tried to see how far the signal would actually reach, but one of the cameras is located on the back corner of my 48' long house under the eave, and the other is located on the front corner of my house on the same side pointed in another direction, also mounted under the eave of the roof. The monitor/lcd screen is located by a window in a computer room about 15' from the camera in the back, and about 25' from the camera in the front. The reception is indicated by a status bar ( one line -five lines, like a cell phone I guess ) on the screen for each camera. The closest camera in the back shows four bars, the one in the front shows three bars. The antennas on the cameras were moved ( they spin around ) until optimum reception was found.

It will not work over 3 meters, no matter how I tried. Basically, it is just a wireless display limited to desktop area. Only useful when you have a device without any display output ports and you need to connect to an external screen.
