How waterproof is this [re-branded] camera? No IP weather rating

Ad states that this camera is weatherproof but not waterproof. I have mine located under the eves away from rain.

I can't answer, as I never could get this camera to work properly and gave up.

These cameras are not intended for use outside. They can't get wet. However you can use them. I have one mounted under the edge of the roof to give it some protection from the weather. I also modified a dummy housing to fit one camera. When you do that you can't use the globe because it reflects the infrared back into the lense

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.

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 is not weather proof. If you install it outside you have to make sure it is protected. When the temperature gets below 30 F or so the CCD has a little problem with noise. You will see lots of noise in the picture and the motion sensing will get triggered continuously.

No! Not weather proof. READ their manual: Although the cameras are water resistant they are not waterproof. Cameras are intended for use in direct exposure to water, rainor snow. http://www.svat.com/downloads/manuals/CV301-8CH-008-manual.pdf

I have this camera and have used it outdoors, on my front deck, exclusively. It is semi covered from the elements. From rain, sleet, snow, temps at or around 10°, and high winds, it works fine. The only problem I have had is with the wireless features on occasion. I decided to go with ethernet due to the random loss of connection wirelessly. Otherwise, it works great.

It is NOT waterproof or water resistant. You can look for a camera enclosure and that will work. The range will be reduced as it will be in a metal box. To prevent this, get a cheaper plastic box.

No the camera is not weather proof. It can be mounted outside however would have to be protected from moisture.

I have used it outside. Water got into it once and the camera died. While researching other cameras (they all looked the same) I saw a reset procedure....power off, hit reset and hold, power on, release reset after 10 seconds. It brought the camera back to life. It is now better protected to avoid a repeat.

I would say yes, it appears to be waterproof. It is designed to operate outside the vehicle, and mine has been through rain a few times. A friend with the same camera has hers attached to the top of her vehicle. However, when the weather got close to freezing, I got lines across the screen instead of a picture -- the picture came back when the weather warmed up a little.

The camera itself is not waterproof, but its case is. So as long as you have it in its case, then yes it is totally waterproof. Has it gotten wet without its case? Ya I've accidentally splashed it a time or two, if that happens I immediately turn it off and check to make sure I didn't get the internal parts wet. So try not to get water on it when its outside its case. I've taken it free diving in its case to depths deeper than 60 feet and, it can go down about 200 feet.

No, the rating needed is IP66 or IP67. this is industry protection specifications. this camera is not rated for it.

No it is not, an excellent camera, i have it outside for 2 years now under a roof bezel, so water doesnt really get to it. It works to this day 100% perfect. I have bought 3 more since.

The cameras are already built for the outdoor so I believe it would be very hard for rain to get in. As far as heat is concerned I do not think that would be an issue since the electronics are already enclosed inside the built in unit.

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!

The camera is not weather proof. However, if you can protect it from driving rain through judicious placement such as on a covered porch or under protected eaves, it will do just fine. I have five Foscam cameras and two have been outside for two years. They work flawlessly. They have endured extremes of temperature from below zero to nearly 100 degrees as well as high humidity in the form of fog.
