The distance a wireless security camera can be placed from the receiver depends on various factors such as the camera model, signal strength, obstructions, and interference. Typically, most wireless security cameras have a range of around 500 feet in open areas with a clear line of sight to the receiver. However, this range can vary and may be reduced if there are walls, objects, or other electronic devices causing interference between the camera and the receiver. It is advisable to consult the specific manufacturer’s guidelines for the camera model being used to determine the optimal placement distance for reliable wireless signal transmission.
