Nominally 300m. but obviously it's a wireless signal and so it depends whether there are any obstructions in or near the direct line-of-sight signal path. eg having a block or brick wall in between might reduce the transmission distance by 30-40%. But ordinary window glass is pretty transparent.

If you're only looking at a short distance, eg up to 50m then it's very likely to just work pretty much whatever the circumstances (unless eg there's sheet metal in the way). But as you get towards 200 and 300m so you have to take more care in your assessment.
