hi, is this antenna weatherproof?

Hi Dave, This antenna maybe weatherproof but not waterproof. It's designed for indoor use, it just won't last as long outside. Hope this helps.Phil

NO. there are no rubber gaskets protecting it and the wire going to the base portion is not an outdoor grade cable and will crack and wear under outdoor conditions. Its an Indoor Antenna only. I am sure there are some mods that can be done to make it an outdoor antenna but the pain and time and effort to do so will end up costing more than a real outdoor antenna. So no the antenna is not weatherproof, hurricane proof, desert or tornado proof.

You might get away with having it outdoors and under a carport roof, but it was not made for being in the rain or worse. Even a temperature near freezing might harm it, as might strong sunlight.

I have not installed it yet. I am using the regular Mohu antenna and have aluminum siding without problems.

I have no idea. The main reason I bought it was to have the weather channel- it did not work. The radio was fine but no weather. So back it went and I did not buy a replacement.

I am intrigued as to why, but there does not seem to be a technical reason why not just so long as your antenna has line of site to the towers, and the outdoor antenna can operate okay indoor. I would definitely test it first, i.e. ask for a 15 to 30 day period of return.

I have mine in the attic and it is working very well. it's working much better than the old much larger antenna that I had up there.

While nothing is 100% guaranteed, I must say that this cable is certainly thick enough to withstand some water. It has the thickest plastic jacket I have ever seen for a USB cable. I would highly doubt that it is rated to be submersible. For an antenna, it should be fine. The problem is whether it is UV-resistant. The sun wreaks havoc on plastic cables. When in doubt, contact Customer Support at Blue Rigger. They answered all my questions within 2 days.

Absolutely. That's exactly what it's made for. I have mine mounted outside in New England and it handles our frigid, snowy winters and rainy other seasons no problem. Just mount it antennas up. Like in the pictures. Otherwise water could get in.

The outer shell of the antenna is plastic. The only part that moisture would hurt is the junction of the antenna and the coaxial cable. If you can keep that dry, you should be okay.

I'm not aware of anyone using an antenna designed for a Wifi card attached to a Desktop being used outdoors for any reason, I would ask why someone would want to expose a desktop Wifi antenna to weather of any kind, especially weather involving static? I believe this question answers itself.... then again, perhaps using for it purposes other than it's original intent is at play..........

Yes, the product is weatherproof. I've had mine outdoors and exposed to the weather for about six months and it's still just as bright as on day 1. I recommend sealing the power connection with silicone to avoid corrosion from trapped moisture where the plugs meet. I can view out to about 100' with this illuminator and my IP Camera. Just make sure that your camera can 'see' the 850 nm infrared, I used my TV remote control with its 850 nm (dull red) led as a test. Yes, you will be able to see the illuminator' dull red glow--but you have to look at it to see it.

Mine is mounted outside but in a covered location. I'm not sure if it weatherproof but I suspect that Square D can answer that better than I.

I believe it is weather resistant, the directions advise applying calk around the mount. I only used the included foam-rubber pad between the house and unit as I live in AZ and am not expecting a great deal of moisture. So far very pleased with it.

I don't know the optimal location for this device. It does have a weather proof case which implies it could be used outdoors, nearer the antenna. However, I use mine inside, about midway in the 60 ft. of cable between the antenna and the nearest TV. One might expect, that if you have a signal that is weak, the sooner you add amplification the better, but my works well as it is.

Yes. It is specifically designed to mount on a window giving outdoor antenna reception to an indoor radio without penetrating the home in any way.

I can only answer, maybe. If the antenna is up outdoors as high up as possible.

I have a large outdoor type antenna in my attic. It works wonderfully well.
