" ... I used to have two of the cameras indoors near my security system (one upstairs and one on the first floor) with the other two outside the house. ... Signals were pretty fair with the original antennas, but I had been looking to bring the other two cameras outdoors and needed a stronger signal at about 30 feet away through a brick wall. ... "
" ... Big distance between two of the cameras and the central unit, wireless signal is strong. ... "
