Does it require line of sight to activate?

No. It seems to work well from both behind the camera and hidden from sight in front. I have been happy with it.

Can not answer that. I use it for my jewelry picture taking and it works extreme well for me.

No. I'm using it with another device but I had to call to activate it. I couldn't activate it online without a code from a phone.

Mine worked from 1st floor to 2nd floor without direct line of sight. However, both cameras no longer work and customer service is awful.

No activation needed, I believe it is defective. Return it for a replacement.

It all depends on the inputs/outputs you have available. The receiver has a Line-In if you have one of the Sirius handhelds. I think your bigger issue will be Sat line of sight depending on your system location in the room.

It can be hidden, it does not have to have a direct line of sight. It actually has a pretty good range.

This unit can give you the distance from any spot that you direct the signal to. If you point to a tree it will give you the yardage from where you stand to the tree. You don't need the laser link in the flag stick for this to work. You do need a fairly steady hand. But, you can get the distance to anything.

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

Hi Randy, The unit works on "line of sight". I have one installed about 150 feet from the house and the change of elevation is about 15 feet from the sensor to the receiver in the front of the house. A good rule of thumb is if you can see the sensor from the house, it will probably work. Give it a try...you can always return it... Hey Wally

No, you don't have to activate it. You only have to activate it if you want to use it for calling and texting with the cell service provider (Boost). However, otherwise, you can use it over wifi to access internet, use apps, use camera, use music player, etc, all without activating it.

Works fine for me with direct line of sight. I have the receiver plugged into the front of my computer, so I can't speak to other setups.

I think the XS has an RF remote which doesn't require direct line-of-sight. For other types that use an IR remote, the company claims the signal will bounce off the wall behind the unit and communicate that way. I didn't note any complaints about reception in the reviews so I'll take their word for it.

In my experience it has to be pointed directly at the unit, it appears to be IR so direct line of sight is required.

You do not need line of Sight.. Works good for what it is... Remote can be better

Distance and line of sight is required, if you have an obstacle, which includes yourself or possibly other actors could interfere with that line of sight issue. I needed to go thirty feet, when I turn my back to the listener it became intermittent. It did not meet my needs.

No it does not. You will have to contact the seller and review the plans available to purchase/activate it.

It does not have to be in line of sight. I use mine from indoors to outdoors. The range is quite good, at least 50 to 60 feet and even more in line of sight.
