Used this in Mexico and it Boosted the Telcel sign
I purchased this knowing I'd need to work while in Mexico. I used it on the drive down and had good signal even in the middle of nowhere. I purchased an adapter so that I could use it indoors with a regular outlet. In the place we rented, my Mifi hot spot was barely pickup up 3G. I hooked up the 45" RV/Truck, extended antenna I purchased with this unit. I sat the antenna outside and sat my hot spot on the signal boost transmitter and had 3 bars of 4G and was able to to do everything I needed for work. I have to say it worked very well.

Product looks good
I bought from amazon wharehouse and it was supposed to be like new. It is not. The antenna on the screen part is loosy and the sound have many distortion when I use at maximum volume. Don’t know if it is a product flaw or if it happened because I got it used.

Works great
No signal in metal barn, drilled a hole in metal and stuck one antenna thru it to reach the outside, now I have a good signal all thru the barn.People have to realize that this is an extender and not a wifi booster, it only extends the signal that it recieves, not amplifies it.

Helps but odd accessories
I needed something for the van. When you are inside with the doors closed the metal box hinders the cell connection sometimes shutting it out completely. So I gave this a try. It does help. Don't check your signal by the bars on the phone. Search the internet and you will find a number you dial to show actual measurements. I'd list the number here but as technology goes it could change along with the interface that shows up.These are simple to install except the components you get are unnecessarily limited. This set comes with a long antenna. While it is designed for large trucks they show a pick up and list it for trucks, vans, pickups. But the bracket to install the external antenna is specific to using the mirror on a truck. Not only that their video suggests taking one of the bolts holding the mirror out and inserting a threaded rod into the hole - but this does not come with that rod. And the bracket will only fit on a round rod or pipe about 3/4 inch diameter or less. It will not fit on roof rails or anything square. I am still working on a way to use this antenna but I bought a small magnetic antenna to use while I figure out how to mount this one. Search for "weBoost Drive Magnetic Outside Antenna" on Amazon. It's only 25 bucks and plugs in the same port. Sadly the bracket that comes with this is one thick piece of metal and may end up being a waste.This also only comes with a cigarette lighter type plug (I think it's time to rename that plug...). There is another adapter you can purchase but it's about 40 bucks and it's one of those bricks. I have a separate electrical system with battery and solar so I wired in a plugin for this. The plug does have a switch on it so you can turn it on/off as needed without having to unplug it.Overall, it does help and is easy to install. They need to make the set a bit more versatile.

Multiple Features that make using this system Help
The product was delivered Earlier than expected. All of the items were packaged Properly. The instructions were Clear to read and understand. Mounting the cameras was Easy due to the hardware that is included and the camera base that swivels. The Double Antenna makes the signal Strong. We Always have a Clear Signal during the day and night. An adjusting tool is included to adjust the camera screws for different angle settings. The Dual Audio is also a Feature that is Easy to set up. The audio is Clear. The power cables are extra long at about 10 feet. The kit also includes a separate antenna for extra distance. The NVR is User Friendly. I would Definitely purchase from Weilailife again.

Great signal from 2 External antenna and Great Cus
So far the camera is good. I have it set up in the field and it transferred one pic of my walking away. When I came home, I downloaded the app and once I get it all figured out, it will be amazing I am sure. Updates to come!!UPDATE:Camera was not taking pics so I contacted CreativeXP. They were very responsive (called and emailed me back the same day) and worked with me. They swapped out the cameras and the new one is operating correctly. Everyone has issues but it’s how they handle them that matters most! Once I get some great deer photos, I will post them!I bought a few other named brand cell cameras that will not name... let’s just say their name rhymes with poultry. Their camera pic was good but neither the ATT nor Verizon had much signal and they do not offer external antenna. Whereas the Creative had 4 out of 5 and my ATT phone had only 1 bar.I highly recommend this camera and I will be purchasing another one shortly!!

Great camera, great customer service
Going on 3 years and we love our monitor! We’ve even hooked up a second camera and it is perfect. We had an issue with the antenna on the monitor but the customer service team went above and beyond to help me replace it. Definitely worth it!

Experience after a couple of months and long trips
I have found that the weBoost Drive Reach works as advertised. I have driven two trips from Dallas to West Texas using the booster each trip and monitoring signal strength each trip. There has been a significant improvement cell signal strength in all segments of the trip. On some segments before the booster was installed the signal was very marginal and prone to drop outs. Now the signal is three bars the whole trip. Highly recommended. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully! Correct antenna placement on the vehicle is very important. I also found that the placement of the interior antenna can add another bar to the reception.
