Will the signal go through walls or is it just common IR needing line of sight?

It's not ir and does go through the wall in our office. We have had no problems with it and are quite happy. You can see (in the picture) the receiver has an antenna.

It works great and goes right through my front house wall and into the kitchen. I love it. Only thing is that I have had to tape the unit CLOSED to keep the batteries from pushing up and away from their contacts! Could be the heat here in the desert.....otherwise it saves me multiple trips out to check the mail, which never seems to come the same time every day!

Yes, the signal will go through walls. It does not have to be a line of sight. It needs fresh batteries often to keep it working all the time. I estimate I am putting in new AA batteries once every couple of months. David

Signal is received in-house, it has to go thru concrete block wall to get there.

Yes as long as you done have concrtetr or steel construction to interfere with the signal. If you do you need to be pretty close in range.

Line of sight for rf devices but bluetooth for ps3 connection goes through the wall.

All wireless devices are going to have different signal strengths through walls and buldings. For instance metal walls will really block your wireless signal no matter what device you use or wattage. You'll have some success through sheetrock and other material, but windows and open areas are the best for any wireless signal. Too many walls or buildings and you'll either have no wireless signal or very low quality of signal.

I mounted my inside receiver to the jamb of window facing outside unit that I mounted inside of the bird box sold separately. My unit works lide a charm. I do not know about signal going through metal wall . I would not take anything for my unit. I would stilll give it a 5 star. Wife especially loves the Dakota alert she know knows when anyone is coming up drive. Cliff

It is close enough to the wall/point the iR up so that the signal bounces off the white ceiling. We have 6 installed this way at my clinic; work perfectly.

Nope. But they sell a 900mhz version that will work better around walls. Check their website

It requires an open HDMI port on the TV and on whatever device you wish to send the signal from. I'm not sure about the line of sight, since I'm just sending to the other side of my living room. I will say though, it is a great little device.

I'm not sure. I haven't done it but in theory it should work. I do know the signal can't go through several walls.

Well, the unit itself cannot, but the radio signal that it uses will make it through with significant attenuation. The unit was designed to work its best with a line-of-sight signal path, but if you can tolerate a much reduced distance, it will work with obstacles in the way. DON'T count on much signal getting through a metal barrier like aluminum or steel siding.

The system works with radio frecuency, line of sight is not necessary but concrete, brick or other very dense wall materials do limit its wireless range. The system has a range of well over 150ft. In line of sight conditions.

Line of sight definately helps. You can set it up horizontal or vertical and get a little wiggle room with the signal. I've set up one at 3\4 of a mile and some trees and it gets 90% signal strength. The other is about 500 yards and gets 99% and it goes through a building external wall too.

Not necessarily. Mine is on a wall. It all depends on where you get good signals.

IR requires line of sight and has a shorter distance limit. You can turn your head and lose the IR signal. RF is better for this purpose.

If I understand the question correctly, when receiving an ir command there is a small led that indicates receiving signal Hope this helps

Other than the built in dial, I really don't know. I have moved the units location and other radios to be within sight of each other so the signal does not have to go through walls, furniture, etc.

Wireless technology works "line of sight" therefore any obstruction will impact the signal. I have tested successfully over 75 feet with perfect video signal by mounting the Receiver (the Display) on the windshield of my vehicle near the driver's side window (using an extension power cord).
