Is it dangerous to use it around/close to wooded area? One of the images was taken over a forest.

These are totally safe, and legal. I would just be careful during a statewide drought/ fire hazard warning with any flames

Mostly they do come down once they are out but anything with fire can be dangerous around wooded areas especially if it has been really dry. I would be really careful around the woods.

No, we used them on our street with trees on both sides. If you follow the instructions, after lighting them hold it until they slowly rise. Ours rose above the top of the trees and then they slowly drifted away. A beautiful sight.

If its dry I would say yes very dangerous. If it catchs fire and falls it would start a fire. I would say its safe if its damp or wet.

I was concerned when my son launched some in town on a dry summer night. My concerns became less as I realized the sky lanterns we used were designed to burn out after about 4 minutes. Later experience allowed me to find they are not as flammable as folks think. The bottom line is that good judgment must be used to launch in a clear area; once they are up and clear of the trees, they will burn out and float the the earth. I suppose the do become litter but they do no fire harm at that point.

not really. ONly thing to consider is the way the wind is blowing and how hard. Lantern will burn it self out as long as it is able to rise up over the trees.

We have used lanterns a number of times. As long as it isn't windy I see no problem using them over a wooded area. They will not come down until the flame goes out and they actually go quite high in the sky. They really are fun and neat to watch.

I would not be around a wooded area The lanterns have a serious flame When used in an open area they are beautiful

Yes, it can be dangerous releasing the lanterns near wooded areas. The wind is a very important factor in releasing the lanterns as well. Stand in an open area, with little to no wind and release. The lanterns are truly amazing!

In my experience, the camera is probably better suited for outdoor use. I tested it indoors before outdoor installation and the sharpness in images seemed better in natural lighting.

I have had no problems with trees as long as the signal is strong from the station.The unit produces clear pictures on the screen.I am very happy with the unit.

^Look at the picture, external use only. Whatever it is it doesn't seem safe.

not at all dangerous. when you relesae the trigger the saw comes to a stop. just don't try to cut real big branches. let the saw do the work, don't force the cut.

I have my camera attach to a tree at my hunting property for the past three years without any protection. Still taking pictures.

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

I have had no such problem but I can see why you'd be concerned. I use it for photo shoots (light use) only though.

This is probably an alarm setting for movement that is triggered by movement in the camera's field of vision like a tree blowing in the wind, etc. You need to turn off audio alarms.

I held it over a camera lens. It makes neat patterns around light. I used it on a campfire, streetlight, fireworks, etc. The paper is not completely translucent so the pictures aren't going to be very clear though.

Based onu limited use, wind and brush may not be an issue. In experimental trials where I was the moving object approaching the camera from various angles, I could not get the camera to take pictures on a consistent basis. It failed to take my picture at a high rate. I doubt if moving brush will trigger it at a higher rate,

I would not put it outdoors or anywhere that is near high traffic. The material sheds fiber glass. It is designed for welding protection and not for outdoor use.

It would be fine being outside as long as it's under a patio or something that will save it from getting wet.. The the picture comes on a wood canvas so a lot of moisture I believe will ruin the wood. I have this piece in my dining room it's absolutely beautiful..

Ive only used indoors, but i assume if you have an electric outlet close to where you are photographing then you could use outside.

I had similar hopes for the device, but it's not quite as magical as that. If a flashlight won't go through it, chances are heat radiation won't either. Mist and fog are an exception due to a quirk of water molecule resonance in the wavelength of 8-12nm. (I think I remember those numbers correctly). Woods are tricky because the branches all blur together and it's hard to make out even a raccoon through much brush at all. No dice on walls. You might be able to spot a critter hiding in a tree, but the auto-exposure wigs out a little when you look up at the sky.

You'd want to "aim" camera...but I have great images 50 feet away. Have it on a pine tree along driveway. See everyone who comes and goes when I'm not home, ie: UPS guy, neighbors dog, etc etc.

I am not an avid photographer. I am using the camera for outdoor shots mostly. I have had this camera for almost a year and have had no major problems from drops. I would avoid potential problems with it for rockclimbing for example. Otherwise, fine.
