Is the distance range really close to 1,000 feet? I want to use this as a barn monitor for baby goats, and our barn is quite a ways from the house.

I have not tested my new one further than the mailbox across the road. My older one, same brand, (in a basement) worked all the way around the block when I tested it. As long as there are no barriers I believe it really would work as far as it says it will.

I don't know as we don't have outlets that are 1000 feet apart so I can't even test it for you!

During lambing season, we left the "parent" portion plugged in at the barn and the baby monitor in the house. I often had to relink the devices when I went down to the barn, but then I could listen to be sure everything was fine in the house or use the walkie talkie feature to page my husband for help during late-night treks to check for lambs. I'm not great at judging distances, but our barn is probably 200'-300' away from the house and we were using it in the basement.

Elaine... did you end up trying this one? Or did you find one that had better range? I am looking for something that has good range.
1418517
Yes... my hubby and I tried it out and we were in two seperate rooms (right next to each other) and could hear each other fine when I would speak directly into the monitor, but when we sat it on my daughter's dresser we couldn't hear her cry.... we would have to put it in her crib to hear her. My house is pretty small so for us to be able to hear her cry better without using the monitor says alot. Maybe there was something wrong w/ mines, all I know is I wouldn't buy it again!

I can't get mine to work in the house, much less outside. It's very staticy & sometimes I don't even get any sound at all. We shouldn't have interference as you would in the city... we're in the country with very few neighbors.

We found it to not pick up a signal when we were nowhere near 1000 feet away from our house; more like only about 200' away. Big disappointment. It wouldn't pick up the signal from our house when I was just across the street in our neighbor's house, and you lose reception even faster if you have a more solid wall like plaster or brick instead of drywall. We live in a city so not sure if there were other interfering signals from home wireless networks or radio.

Depends on what you consider long range I guess, I use them out on my boat and watching other boats 400-500 yards away no problem. You can see if they have a fish on or not. You can see how many people are in the boat.Hope that helps

Yes,I'm not sure of range limit!I've done it from about 1.5 blocks !I'd say it would probably be good up to 1/4 mile tops!But I can't verify that!

If there are no any obstacles between your home and your barn, It may work. Yout should put the unit on top of your roof and facing to your barn. However, if there are some obstacles containing water -like trees- , or some metal obstacles like electric poles or so; your link quality shall be reduced. If your barn is in clear sight from your roof and your barn's walls do not contain much metallic construction parts or wet wood blocks, then it is likely that it would work from 600 feet. Anyways, just buy one and try, if it doesn't satisfy you, then you may buy another one and build a WDS link between two units.

I have been able to see across my yard but that's only 50ft, I don't know what range the viewer has to be able to help you during hunting but I think you will be able to see a large animal at a few hundred ft.

The distance has many variables. 2.4ghz or what other frequency will have a factor on the distance. But the distance they quote is a best case scenario. But I cannot see a .5 watt going 1000 meters. That is unheard of. In my expierance with wireless cameras the higher the wattage the longer the distance. But not sure what you are asking. If you are asking why they all say 1000 meters at different wattages and the same 2.4ghz. Must be a mistake. It does not work like that.

The range is not very far. I have a two-story house and sometimes it won't register at the far end of the house from the garage door. Hope that helps.

I doubt it. It's a "repeater". It picks up the signal from the wireless router/modem at some distance from the modem and "repeats" it. It has to be placed somewhere between the wireless router and the computer/tablet receiving the signal. 1000 ft is about 1/5 of a mile. This device is only 600 milliwatts. 100 ft. unobstructed at best. This is sort of like adding a second modem/router to get better coverage through dead spots.

I've had it about 6-8 feet away and it seemed ok. I think it would work further away.

The manufacturer states that the range is 150 feet. Mine is mounted about 100 feet away and works just fine.

I have an identical situation and it works very well at least 200 feet away. Hope this helps.

The distance isn't that far, maybe 20ft with horrible resolution. If you plan to purchase this DVR for business use, dont buy it. If it's for home use, go ahead a make the purchase. Resolution quality isn't good at all.

Ive been using it a while to find my cats before dark. It only has a range of about 500 ft. If you lost your cell in your house or yard or card it would be great but not if its more than a half mile away.

the farthest i have set up from the caller was about 30 yards. i havnt tested how far out it will reach. at the distance i set it at it does need direct line of sight from the remote to the caller or the caller wont respond to the commands.

We have a fairly large house and yard and never had an issue with the range inside or out. If you're going beyond ~75 yards I can't really comment b/c never tried to use it further than that. The problem with this device though is NOT the range...it's the delay you must suffer through between when you click to 'wake up' the remote and when you are actually able to deliver the shock. In my experience the delay was so long that the dog had finished doing the bad thing before I could shock him. I suggest not buying this model and looking for one that is always on and ready to work exactly when you need it.

Not sure about the maximum distance but we have ours installed up at the barn to see when cows are calving & we have a perfect picture on the computer & our house is across the street down the road. Even when it was -13 degrees the other night the camera worked perfect! We are ordering a couple more soon..... Have no complaints about this camera.

Dear Sir,it range up to 3000 feet to 6000 feet depending on environment and terrain.Hope it helpful to you.
