I agree with you on the Motorola - we have one of those too, that cost more than the Summer Infant, and the range is terrible plus everything seems to interfere with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longer-distance-monitor#post-2212070 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 10:38:42 +0000 tinyperson 2212070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parent's have quite a large house, and we usually hang out in the great room, which is as far from LO's room as you can get. Our Angel Care monitor has worked no problem. I've also used it sitting out on the back deck, and it's fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longer-distance-monitor#post-2211960 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 09:30:53 +0000 MenagerieMama 2211960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, we have a motorola video monitor and it works upstairs/downstairs (LO is upstairs) and about a half block radius from our house. I'm not sure what it's actually listed as working as! There are a few dead spots in the house but I can take the dogs outside partway down the street and the monitor still picks up fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longer-distance-monitor#post-2211950 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 09:22:31 +0000 birdofafeather 2211950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's why we have a foscam! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longer-distance-monitor#post-2211927 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 09:09:01 +0000 yellowbird 2211927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a vtech video monitor thy works when he is on the second floor and I'm outside in the yard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longer-distance-monitor#post-2211911 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 08:53:27 +0000 Mamaof2 2211911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an infant optics and it says "free digital wireless transmission covering distances of up to 800 feet in open areas, or 150ft in enclosed areas"</p> <p>Her bedroom is in the back of the house on the 2nd story - it works when I am in the backyard, 3 levels down (Walk-out basement) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longer-distance-monitor#post-2211905 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 08:48:24 +0000 LBee 2211905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone have a recommendation on a monitor that can go a long distance? I'm not talking miles or anything, just farther than my Motorola. </p> <p>I'm 100% fine with just audio. Think baby inside house (second floor) and you outside working in the yard. </p> <p>I've tried googling this and everyone seems to have different thoughts. According to google, the range specified usually isn't accurate and is based on an open field. This may come as a shock, but my house has walls, etc. </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
