Each piece of the system needs to be within 100 feet. So wifi router within 100 ft of the sync module and the camera within 100 ft of the sync module. Depending on how close dad's house is you may be able to run it off your wifi. You may also want to try a wifi extender put in his house if it can see your home network. Test it with your cell phone and see if you can sniff your home network. Also consider running a cat5 cable between houses or even a mobile hotspot on your or his cell network that you turn on off when you need it. Good luck.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Jan so the short answer is yes. You’ll have to connect the cameras to wifi in order to view them remotely from your phone, but they are absolutely fantastic cameras my wife and I love them.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Unfortunately yes the whole system works with a WiFi connection, if you’re close enough maybe a WiFi extender will work to carry your WiFi to his house?
