Are the cameras weather proof? That is, can they be mounted permanently?

The cameras are water resistant and come with a weather guards. They are magnetic mount and the manufacturer does not list any information about a permanent mount. We have these in stock and will ship immediately. Thank you. Pickup Specialties

I would say not. I purchased the two camera system and there is a little plastic hat that goes over the controls but I am not sure that they are intended to be permanently mounted. I can't say for sure though. They work well but take some practice. Throw it on the tailgate and practice several times before you do it for real.

SLR cameras are not very weather proof, especially odeon cameras with sophisticated electronics. Need to be very careful about moisture and taking them from cold to warm environments. Depending on your needs you buy cases but these are expensive and limit functionality. Same goes for lenses.

I use my cams outdoors - as long as they are kept dry and not exposed to exstreme heat or frozen - they will work fine.

Yes they are weather resistant but not weather proof (from the docs they supply).

The cameras have performed well at temperatures into the low teens and single digits. But, during my use of them, they haven't been challenged by temperatures that low. My guess is that there would be no problem, but that's just a guess.

Yes, youbcan use this outdoors. Just to help with weather-proofing, I put a small piece of plastic mounted right above the camera "tube".

I have used them for outside, but put them in a birdhouse or some other container so they are not out in the elements. They are great little cameras.

Our area can range from 20s to humid 100. We've had the cameras through a whole year so we can say that so far the temps haven't stopped them from working. They are placed under carport roofs and house eaves to avoid direct moisture but still no humidity issues and no problems from wind.

Yup I believe so. We have 3 cameras outside and we live in new York... This winter has been extreme and so far all 3 have withstanded the elements.

All my cameras are outside, but I mount them under the eaves of the house, where rain cannot get on them or the power supply for them. An alternative might be some kind of dome cover, but optics might be affected, and condensation would need to be controlled. I am in a relatively dry area, with low humidity, so my setup works for me. Different weather conditions could raise additional problems. My cameras did well over the winter...it does get cold here.

I brought the cameras to the tropics where rainfall is higher than here in the US. So far I did not have any problems with water going into the cameras. I should say they are waterproof.

No! Not weather proof. READ their manual: Although the cameras are water resistant they are not waterproof. Cameras are intended for use in direct exposure to water, rain or snow. http://www.svat.com/downloads/manuals/CV301-8CH-008-manual.pdf

Yes, we have all of our cameras set up outdoor. I highly recommend this system. We've been having it for about 6 months and we love it. It works great!

Yes, I have mine mounted outside under the eves and out of direct weather exposure.

Ad states that this camera is weatherproof but not waterproof. I have mine located under the eves away from rain.

You can definitely put theses cameras outdoors. I've had the system for two years in Chicago where we get below zero temperatures and no problem.

Technically speaking, this is not an outdoor camera. However, contrary to what others may tell you or you may read, it can be placed outside if you mount it where it will not be exposed to direct or wind driven rain. Three of my six FI8918W cameras have been mounted outside for three years and they continue to function flawlessly. They have been exposed to extremes of temperature from below zero to nearly 100F as well as the high humidity of fog. They're doing just fine. Mount your camera on a covered porch, carport, or under a protected eave and it will be OK. Also, try mounting it upside down with a six inch diameter piece of rubber sheeting (available at Home Depot in the plumbing section) sandwiched between the base of the camera and the mount. The rubber will act as a drip shield.
