Can the sensors be installed outdoor?

Yes, I have them surrounding my property on trees,buildings & fences. They are fully exposed and have made it through all 4 seasons twice and still work flawlessly.

I have installed the sensors on my sliding gate and my pedestrian gate. I feared that the weather may affect them, but they have been there for many months in all types of weather and have performed flawlessly. My sensors are approximately 15- 20 metres from the base unit. The answer to your question is YES (even though they are advertised as "window and door sensors")

If it could be kept dry. I have one under a carport area where it cant get wet and have had no problems.

I would not install this outside exposed to weather without first putting them in a weather protective enclosure.

Don't believe so. Don't think sensor is weatherproof. Ours is installed inside.

I don't know if it should be mounted outside or if the sensor can be placed in water. I've installed mine inside in a temperature and moisture controlled area--with the sensor inside a conventional refrigerator. I suggest you contact Johnson Controls for more information about how to complete your installation.

Looking at my installations, I would say yes. There is quite a bit of flexibility regarding the arrangement of the lights & sensor. As an aside, I've got four of these installed & am very pleased with the results..........jim

I have 4 of them located outside. They are not actually for this purpose, but I have had mine installed for 2 years and no problems. Just make sure you locate them in a dry (rainproof) location. I have mine under the eaves of my house.

Yes. It is an outdoor unit and cannot be installed inside due to ventilation requirements.

Yes. As Stephanie said, the sensor can easily be mounted where it would be visible to the remote. My unit is mounted in the central console - deep inside the console. The sensor is mounted on the side of the console near the floorboard and is almost invisible. Works great.

I believe you could. I mounted my outside near my deck and ran an electrical cord to it. It works great.

Sincerely I will not suggest using this sensor lightning in outdoor because of constant movement. Your bulb might run out with constant on and off.

Yes since they are wireless they can be mounted pretty much anywhere. They are not weather proof tho. So unless you live in a climate where it never rains like me and its kept out of direct sunlight then i would not do it.

You could do that. There are holes in the back of the unit. Vent holes for the air to pass through to the sensors, a lot of them. Space for wire to be sewn through and then tied off to a wire cage. Good luck!

Yes they can be mounted outside as long as they are covered and cannot get wet. Foscam also make a cam that is for the outside. It cost a little more but worth it.

Personally I used inside but works of for the garages sensors. I will say you can place it outside but must be away from rain. What I did recommend you for operation ranges make test before you decide where to place it.

The sensor has a key hole on the back so it can be mounted on a screw or nail. NOTE, the sensor is not waterproof.

Yes you can. If you look at a picture of it where the wire comes out is a swivel and where the sensor is, is another swivel. the motion sensor get mounted to the face plate of a electrical box. Hope this helps.

The answer is yes. Think of this just like a light at the end of your 3 way circuit. If the light would turn on then the sensor would also be engaged. The light (down stream) from the sensor will be on as needed when the sensor detects motion and no daylight.

Yes, it can be placed outdoors. The critical controls are protected by a clear plastic cover. Make sure your power source is fully grounded if you live in a wet environment.

No. This unit is designed for outside. It would be too sensitive for indoor use
