Hi, I purchased 4 of these camera's and had them professionally installed........I sent them all back within the same week. They want stay online for any length of time at all. I had to resync them at least 10 times a day and they were within 10 feet of the wireless router!! They are great if you can keep them ensync. They have a great picture but man who can take them down 10 times a day and redo them.?..

I have had two outdoors for about a year. One is about 250 yards from the ocean in Newport Beach CA and the other one is about 75 yards from the ocean in a very humid climate in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. I have not had a problem with either one. The winters in both locations are fairly mild.

yes, they work fine in winter, if blowing snow they may need brushed off, only problem I have had is humidity and extreme heat waves during sunlight interrupts signal on long distances.

This is my second winter with them. So far they are ok. I hang them to dry, if that makes a difference.

Yes, I live in Michigan & had left them in the ground all winter and they worked the next Spring. They will be fine.

We have not, but we have left them out and they have gotten covered by the morning mist, as we live near a lake. And they have continued to function. This is unrelated but we have one that doesn't work and we found putting a battery operated LED tea light inside them, and you can still use them.

Unfortunately I have not laundered them. I am a snowbird and they are currently in storage. So sorry to be of no help.

I have not taken mine out of the box as I will not be using it until winter. Sorry I can't help.

I've used mine for two snow seasons now and have not had that happen. If you can still return I'd do so.

Yes they can be left out in cold winter months and the rain too. The battery's are rechargeable!

Mine is out in the camper, which is buried in snow. Can look these up when Spring thaw happens.

They're pretty waterproof in my experience so you don't have to try and avoid watering over them. I haven't had any issues through the winter rains either.

Yes, I have/ Since they are not always available, I buy enough for at last six months and freeze in package. Best for cooking after defrosting, since they soften.

I have had them on my back or laying on them for well over two hours and they were still cold. I had a three hour drive the other day and had them behind my back, they were still cold when I got there Tip, don't freeze them silver side together, they won't last. It is best if you can freeze them in different parts of the freezer so they don't touch, but I freeze mine white side to white side so the silver side is not touching them.

We used them in the summer heat , so temp itself I cant help but getting moisture in them can muffle the speaker, a few broke the speaker. I can see snow causing the same issue. any wt that isnt labeled as weatherproof/ rugged would be in the same boat.
