I am very interested in purchasing a pro 4 to monitor my parking lot. Could someone comment on the WiFi range. My condo is about 50 feet from my lot, but there are walls in between ( a laundry room). I have a WiFi extender. I have tried a ring stick up and a SimpliSafe camera and neither have the wifi range I need. 
  What type of distance could I expect from the pro 4 given my situation above? Would this work better than the products I mentioned above ? Thanks in advance.

Likely not.  WiFi is WiFi, and I expect all cameras will have similar range.

 

See what signal strength you see on your phone in the area where you plan to put the cameras.  Or try running a speedtest with your cellular connection off (using the free Ookla app), and see if you get a stable connection with reasonable speed.

 

One option (though more expensive) would be the Go 2 - which uses mobile data.  It has its own SIM card, and would need a mobile data plan (in addition to a subscription).
