bought 2 of these for outdoor mount, now after reading manual it says that camers must be mounted in dry and cool place and away from any liquids?

That is recommended for all outdoor cameras to reduce hardware failures due to direct sunlight and condensation buildup with humid environments. If you put the camera in a shaded area that is moderately protected from direct rains and elements you should be fine. The camera is rated IP66: http://www.thecctvblog.com/what-is-ip66/ which means it is dust proof and water resistant to heavy seas and splashing. But humidity and extremes in temps can cause condensation which can harm the camera. ftp://ftp.wintel.fi/docs/Dahua/DH-IPC-HDB3200C.pdf

I put four of these around my house, under the eaves...no problems. They have experienced 100+ temperatures. They have also survived some ferocious storms, although the moisture is indirect. I don't think I would mount these on the face of a wall directly exposed to rain, however. Hope this helps.

From the look of the camera body, I thought it would withstand blowing rain OK. I was wrong. Mine is really not splashproof. Condensation would form on the inside of the plastic bubble after a good rain. I had to mount it under the eave. I will try it there and see. I do like the camera.

"Outdoor" is a loose term. I would prevent any water from coming into contact with the unit. However I believe the product would hold up to dust and dirt. Heat may degrade the magnet over time. The cold may not have any affect on it.

The manual states, "Use only outdoors." That might be because, "the exhaust gas and top of the unit is HOT!" The exhaust fumes might be an issue. But, I think you could safely mount the unit outside and just run the hose that connects to the shower head through a window. I would personally be totally okay with and feel quite safe doing that. Hope that helps!

No, your device is not protected. It just means that the mount is weather proof.

I purchased this light fixture and mine is mounted outside in my entry way. Works nicely! I would not mount it somewhere that it could get wet.

You can probably mount in the engine compartment but I would not mount it anywhere it could be wet a lot. It has to pull air from where it is and you wouldn't want to have it pullin moisture.

make sure mounting area is clean and dryAdd a little moisture to the cupMounting surface can't be porous or rough

You have to mount it with the horns facing down. And no it isn't water or rain proof. Depends on what size vehicle you are mounting it to as far as length of tubing.

No, this unit is not protected from the elements and must be mounted in a clean dry place.

the guy is probably just making a joke. Technically NO horn is water proof. By that I mean you can't fill one up and expect to make it work. As for mounting it and just rain. Mine is mounted on the exact same mount as my original Harley horn and I ride 365 rain or shine. Only problem I find with the WOLO seems to relate to cold and lack of use. It tends to delay on cold days in building enough pressure to play and if I don't use it for a while it delays a few seconds.

Dont get it wet and you will have a wonderful time. Fluids render the ball mount useless no matter how tight you try and get it. Its fine as long as its dry...

It is not weather proof, so if it was mounted outside the operational life would probably be quite short.

They're supposedly outdoor, but when I mounted one in a spot where rain was hitting it directly, the sensor filled with water. Since the lens was obscured, it was no longer able to sense motion. I've since then returned it for a replacement, and mounted it under an eave, where it gets indirect spray. I've had it there a few months, and no problems anymore.

Am unsure of the correct answer to this, however, we are mounting it outside with weather protection. Renogy would be able to provide the accurate answer to this question. Have been in contact with them several times and they have always been knowledge, courteous and their service is excellent.

You must it mounted so its that not can wet....And for users have problems with working It is possible that the unit 180 rotation must. Mistake in the user manual

I am sorry I can't help you with your question as mine are mounted inside a garage and not exposed directly to rain, snow, ice etc.

it should be protected from rain and freezing temperatures.so it can be mounted outdoors but in a weather protected location (ie. a box). used mine under a tarp one summer.
