probably. it's an old house and we leave the windows open sometimes.

I don't know i didn't drill a hole in a wall and i don't know what they are made from. i would assume thick plaster and lath. the house is like 1900's.
I have bent a nail trying to hammer in nails in some places.
if i took a picture of the wall it would look like a wall.

like 60-70 ft for downstairs.
upstairs one is directly above it and works the same sometimes.
it fluctuates.
in the back i have a camera even farther away that is on my garage pointed at the house. the signal is listed as best possible. it's even farther than the cameras in the front.
Also i have old aluminum siding.
so maybe the front wall of my house is super shielded.
