Hi Saad,All the Papago's dashcams are designed to operate between 14°~149°F(-10°~65°C), no matter it comes with battery or not. Thank you!

You are better off with a capacitor equipped dash cam, than one with a battery. The batteries often fail in the heat, and fail with age.

I use this one here in Rio de Janeiro, which is quite similar with Texas weather. And it runs fine, better than the papago ps2 pro that I use in the front. I use this one to film in the rear. And when it's very hot, the ps2 pro stops working and the gs110 keeps going on...

it does keep some power in it to keep your settings but instead of reaching up and turning it on and off I have it setup so when I plug it into the cigarette lighter it turns on and when I unplug it it turns off you can also set it up to turn on and off with motion. if it had a battery it would just stay on all the time. which would fill up your memory card really fast. I'm a truck driver and I haven't let it get all that hot in my truck yet so I couldn't tell you about the durability in the heat but it seems like it would do pretty good.

It gets pretty hot here in California and I've had four if these for quite sometime with no issues. They are well built. I think mine need new batteries because they are currently not working.

Well, I used it in our relatively short growing season in Northern Michigan, and just about to break it out again. I will say that last Fall, after I no longer needed it the battery stopped charging, but they are sending me a replacement since I called in the problem last week.That said, it performs great. Battery lasts maybe a half-hour at full speed, but that's all I need.

So far the strip has performed well. It is barely detectable. I live in Maryland and it certainly does not get as hot here. We are in the high 90's today. My car is parked mostly inside, so it is rarely exposed to longterm heat. For the few times that it has been exposed to sun and heat, I have not noticed any problems.

I live in South Texas and keep ours on our back porch. While I can't really speak to cold, I am pretty sure that it gets a bit more hot here. With a west exposure and temps up to 110' it has held up fine.

I have purchases (5) of these refurbished. All run cool to the touch, maybe becoming slightly warm when there is heavy traffic for a while. Doesn't seem to be a problem.

Battery wll work if you use the ATV in warm weather. Loses performance in cold weather.

I don't know? I bought the one I have because of the representation that it was a heavy duty model. We have brutal summers here and the attic temp's get well above 100 degrees F. so I got something that was represented as being just a bit stronger. The motor has been working without fail since purchased.

No problem with mine summer or winter. I am in Texas and if if held heat I would know.

I live in North Texas and we have very hot summers. It has held up nicely so far.

The laptop does not get hot. Not at all!! As far as the battery life is concerned, we have had no issues!! Love this laptop!!

Boy! That's a tough question. We are Southern Cal and the weather is never that brutal. The unit has worked really well for us and have no complaints. If I were you I'd just get and try it out. If it freezes just return it.

No issues at all with the car. The batteries did swell up on me when I left them in the garage for a few days in the heat. I got new batteries and have had no issues since. Many crashes later (it is so fast) it has held up amazingly. I'm am tough on cars. My Erevo I have had to change out parts after some insane crashes but my XO-1 is awesome.

Mine runs pretty warm but haven't had any problems with it. After I finally figured out how to pass thru my satellite signal I shut it down more often to cool.

It has worked fine in the cold and I'm in North Idaho. Battery life is reduced, but that would be the case for anything that uses batteries. As far as water resistance goes, I've tried to keep it sheltered so I can't tell you.

It only runs hot if you put it in a vehicle over 5 pounds, but you can get fans for the motor and ESC to keep temps down. Also, if you put it in a vehicle over 5 pounds, gear it down, otherwise, it doesn't run hot at all. I recoment a 19t pinion and 86 spur if you have a 2wd.

I have the original battery in mine since purchase about 2 years ago. I put mine into service two to 4 times a month at the rifle range or in the field. I keep it in my truck in Arizona with temps approaching 130 during the summer. Not sure if that heat should decrease the battery life or not.
