Since I don't use the batteries, they are waterproof. The thing about the batteries, is that most REAL security cameras don't have a red light and so for it to seem authentic, I chose to leave it alone. So, if you don't use batteries, it should be fine. Plus, I've placed them under the eves of my house so, in general, water should not be a problem. Of course, snow my pile up on them, but you can brush that off. Good luck.

No this is NOT waterproof it is water repellent I have mine installed under an easement and it is fine

I wouldn't say water proof, it's proved rather durable and water resistant to walking through the rain. I've had it in some down poor's and the items inside stayed dry. Just be sure and dry it out thoroughly before putting it away.

I'm not 100% sure if they are "officially" water proof or water resistant, but I did ride with them while it was lightly raining and they seemed fine. No issues.

No, not totally water proof. There was some, minimal, drip. It did block well over 90% of the rain though. I could stand under it while it rained and wouldn't really notice what little did come through.

I don't think it's waterproof but they do get wet because the rain sometimes comes in sideways with the wind. We haven't had any issues yet.

Ours has been rained on and did fine. I wouldn't submerge it. It doesn't seem to have rubber seals to keep water out if you did.

Water resistant...and I mean very resistant..Waterproof, I haven't been in a downpour with it so can't say. But in drizzle all stayed dry

In my experience, they don't last long enough to be able to determine if they're truly waterproof or not. I think they're SUPPOSED to be waterproof, but mine stopped working within a few weeks of my putting them up. Apparently, there's SOMETHING outside that they're not "-proof" to. Good luck!

I would call them water resistant. The rain doesn't seep through the fabric, but does pool on the flooring. And, then your "stuff" will get wet on the bottom. But, if you're looking to withstand a quick rain shower they are good for a get away.

If they have not dried completey , yes they are not water proof. When water hits it runs. Hope this helps.

I haven't had it submerged in water but I I have been in heavy rain and it worked just fine. But nothing is waterproof. it is very hard for the water to get in. Worth every penny!!!!!

I have had mine for over a year. I have ridden in rains but not as much as you might. No issues at this time. I think you would be ok riding then put a small baggy over while parked.

I've had it in light rain and it's had a splash or two, but in heavy rain I'm not sure. I would not really recommended putting it in that position though.

Yes absolutely mine got rained on many times. You just have to tilt the cushions on their side to drain out the water because if you don't the underside stays wet.

I agree with M.Giese. Do not submerge them. I do think they are very water resistant. Very heavy rain. They could be made pretty much water proof with very little effort

I am certain about weather resistance. I have used them many times in the rain. I don't know how well they would do if submerged, but I have never even had a glitch in rainy conditions, both walking and riding motorcycle.
