Will this work/improve/extend range on a Uniden wireless camera(GC 45 and a like)? If not, any idea/suggestion on how to do that? 3rd floor to garage?

It should work I'd just make sure the connection fits. It should be a standard connection.

I ordered one and it will not fit on the back of my GC45 camera. It has smaller threads than the antenna that came on the camera.. I'm going to contact Uniden to see what they have to extend range. Ed

I initially connected the camera to set it up in terms of changing the password, setting up the wireless info, port forwarding and recording. After that you can place it anywhere within range. I also changed something in the router to increase the ms in which the signal was sent from my router which increased range and the quality of the recordings.

Possibly... I used one on a security camera mounted about a hundred yards away, aimed at a bottom-tier DLink wireless router inside my house. I would think that a pair of the Keedox antennas aimed at each other should easily handle the distance. I guess the real question is just how much metal is in your concrete wall. If your wall is unreinforced concrete block construction, you probably won't have a problem. If the wall has a lot of reinforcing metal inside, there might not be any antenna that can help you.

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.

We are no longer using the Ubiquity Aircams. We didn't have very good luck with the cameras . We had four of them and one quit within the warranty period. They replaced it free of charge except for shipping. Next we had issues with two cameras at the same time. Since we were using them as security cameras, we felt we needed a camera that would perform better than the Ubiquity had performed so we replaced them all with a different brand. Sorry, I am unable to tell you the distance the camera can handle.

I had to run a power line in my attic to near where the camera was mounted outside and drill a hole to reach the camera. You could possibly try POE (power over Ethernet) but then you most likely would have to run a very long Ethernet cable. I'm not sure this camera supports POE, you should check with the manufacturer. One alternative might be to install one if those wheels that gerbils run on and buy a generator so when the gerbil runs it generates power for your camera, most devices do require power.....

When I had the outdoor camera attached to my garage (while it worked,anyway) it was about a 100' out to the street and the camera generally had no problem detecting vehicles as they drove by the house. People at that range, however were not always detected. On my front porch the camera picks up people walking, probably, around 70' to 80' or so. Having said that, If you get an outdoor camera that works dependably over the long haul, consider yourself lucky. Mine worked, maybe six months then started working sporadically untill it quit working altogether. I have an indoor camera outside on my front porch (protected from the weather) and it has worked flawlessly for a few years. In reviews of the outdoor camera it has been documented there can be a problem with a capacitor or something on the circut board that fails due to heat issues. Too bad because the logitech system is far and away the easiest system to set up, and review recorded images. I just could not deal with the undependability of the outdoor camera and installed a different system (with night vision capability).

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!

Dear Paul, change the WIFI encyption authenication with our "Eyesee Finder", please come to www.szgeeya.com/ipc for related software. Please know that the camera shall not be too much near the wifi router, like dark under the lamp. But if long time video recording or surveillance, we would advise wired connection. Further questions please feel free to contact us.

You can also purchase larger antennas for these cameras for just a few dollars. With the larger ones you should not have any problems and much cheaper than a wireless range expander.

I have used the wireless aspect of the camera at ranges of about 100 feet without problems. I have a WAP installed in my lake cottage and use one of the cameras to keep an eye on my boat dock which is at a range of about 100 feet or so.

I don't believe that will work. The only way it would is your wifi has a 10 mile plus signal range. The camera needs to connect to wifi to then to the internet

All I know is the signal is by the included cables from receiver to a monitor. I don't know of any way to catch the wireless signal from camera to another device. My model is not intended for internet or cell use.

This camera is part of a Uniden wireless system. It is an add on which works with several different Uniden systems. However, it does nothing on its own. It does NOT communicate to a standard Wifi network. The connection is proprietary to the Uniden system. That said, I have have four camera Uniden system and it works just fine.

How weird, i have the same camera and its 20 ft away from router. And works fine. Did you check if there is wifi signal?

Hello DorothyI do not secure the receiver to anything just hide it in a bush or in/under something. You can check the range of the unit to camera on the menu page (little triangle next to view option). I have even put the receiver in a building and it works. No line of sight needed. I have three units so far for remote site security.Hope this helps...

We live in a large, old house that has thick walls which dampen the wireless signal to the point that we finally had to install routers on the main level and upstairs in order to get serviceable speed on our devices. The camera is in my son's room upstairs, and the signal broadcasts without degradation of fidelity throughout the entire house, including the basement. While I have not subjected the camera to rigorous testing, based on the above, I would surmise that it has pretty good range.
