Is this an "outdoor" camera and what is the case constructed of?

I have 4 of theses cameras and they are awesome for the money. They are out door rated and work well. The case is cast aluminum but that is a guess. Be careful when you lock dowm the adjustment at the mounting base, its a little fragile. On the other hand I have had only one break from over tightening and i have a tendency to break stuff. The image is great. If you use GrandStream GSurf Pro software you can record video at 1080. If you a just viewing you can use a higher res. Best camera for the money.

not made for outdoors. Use this dome located here @ http://www.amazon.com/Encloser-Loftek-Wansview-Surveillance-Security/dp/B005XU7OL0. This will protect your camera

The camera, a strap, lens, DVD, typical for a higher end camera. The other cameras I looked at in this range had mostly the same - no case, for example.

It is, but mine broke on vacation to the Bahamas. The slider on/off switch at the top wouldn't "catch" anymore. To turn on or off the camera, I had to remove it from the case, turn it on, and slide it back in the case, that is a pain. I would not recommend this case unless it has been updated in the last year.

This can be used outdoors but you need to make sure the O-ring/ Gasket is Sealed/Seated properly. After it is seated, this is an IP66 camera rated for outdoors which is water resistant, not fully water proof. Thanks!

It's a sturdy camera but I'd want a case. I have one for mine basically to keep the screen from getting scratched.

This camera is not designed for outdoor use. I point mine out a clear window (no screen) and get a very nice view. I am thinking of experimenting with an outdoor enclusre that I would make myself, but as the camera comes now, it probably would not hold up well outdoors unless it was very sheltered.....

I do not recommend this for outdoor use, it is great for indoor use (do not place next to a window where direct sunlight will hit the lens). There is really no way to protect this from the elements without building something really bizzare to house it. I use the "Agasio A622W Outdoor Wireless Pan/Tilt IP Camera" for outdoor use. It has withstood heat (100 in the shade), rain, ice, snow and extreme cold (below 0) and is working very well

The camera isn't waterproof. I think it's if you purchase one of those underwater cases.

It will not hold up outdoors in the elements unless you can mount it under an eve or some other place where it will be out of the weather. It is not weather proof. I would suggest not using this outdoors. I have used one in a basement for several years now and the quality is equal to many other cameras that I have. Works great indoors to disguise as a camera. Nobody pays any attention to it which was my intention.

No protective case needed in water. I had a good experience with this camera. For the money, I felt the picture quality was fine. It provided me decent underwater shots on my snorkeling trip in Cancun and we used it on land out on the beach too so I could keep my Nikon D5000 away from the sand. I was pleased overall because for the price, I wasn't expecting much. It was better than expected.

It has an AC adapter. You would use it outside by plugging that into a weatherproof receptacle (outlet with a plastic hood, for example). The cable entry points to the camera itself (power and wired Ethernet--the latter is optional) are provided with sealed grommets.

The camera is weather proof on its own. The box is more just for security. I didn't read the post that stated rain ruined their camera but they either had a defect in the outter molded shell or didn't have it closed properly. I bought the box for security (I had my 1st camera stolen) and it is heavy duty and works great.

The camera is weather proof, as long as it is not exposed directly to rain or snow. Mine is mounted under the eaves near the front door and I have not had any problems so far.

It claims to be an "outdoor" camera, however, the camera is plastic junk! So I dont how long it would make it outdoors, much less lasting any kind of weather.
