How weather proof is this? Does it need to be under an eve? This is going to be mounted in Florida and needs to handle excessive rain and weather.

I have it mounted under an eve and live in Florida. Having said that it has seen some strong down pours. I have also silicones any gaps and seams around the main unit. So far no problems and clear.

I would go with their bullet outdoor model if you plan on exposing it. I have this model in my garage and bullet models in the open.

Yes, I have mine mounted outside under the eves and out of direct weather exposure.

Haven't used mine in the rain, yet. I, personally, wouldn't hold it under water, but, I imagine, it would work in a light rain. It would be a good idea to lightly grease all "0" rings occasionally. Also, I don't use mine on high unless I need a massive light, to save battery life.

It can be mounted outside but recommends somewhere somewhat shielded. I mounted mine on a cross beam above the spare tire so it's tucked away. It does have air vents so not sure how water tight it is. Easy install.

Definitely!!!! I would not leave it out in bad weather just in case but mine works great outside!!!!!

This material is water resistant, however, the moisture inside does cause a condensation to build up so the inside is wet. Also, when you install, you will need additional anchors. The wind was real bad here last night and the entire thing blew apart. If I had anchored it with more than what they provided I could have possibly avoided this. It is a great greenhouse if you can get it anchored good and tight.

We mounted ours in the garage. I don't know if it can go outside. It works well for us!

I would not put it where it gets direct exposure to rain. Mine is on the outside of a building, protected under roof.

We live in Florida and use it on a cover lanai. It shouldn't be exposed to the rain but using in covered area is fine. We cover it when there is a rain storm with wind blowing.

the fixture is weather resistant and secure in the wind. make sure the mounting box is secured to a sturdy structural member.

I have mine under an awning, so it gets rained on a little and still works. It's technically outside, but I wouldn't call it waterproof.

I have mine sitting outside but under a patio awning where it is protected from the direct rain. I don't think it would be rain-proof if it was left out in the open. The battery opening is on the bottom side of the round center and the top is covered by a plastic flip lid.

I am considering purchasing this camera. All the reviews have been helpful. I have noticed no-one has commented on the outside temperature. The below 0 and the -25 below I think would be a problem even if mounted under an eve or overhang. If any one has any experience with this fact I would appreciate their input. Also any comments on a window mount. Thank you in advance for your input.

It is not waterproof, no "O" rings to seal working parts. Will resist moderate drizzle/rain, or at least mine has so far. Light is really bright for such a small unit. I suggest you invest in Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries. I know they are expensive, but they last a really long time in this unit. I got rid of the head band and used nylon cable ties to secure it to my safety vest.

I mounted mine outside on the patio. It was under a roof, and I live in Florida. The weather didn't seem to affect it, but i don't think I'd want it outside in a Michigan winter.

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.

I have it mounted on a pergula in our patio to provide airflow. It has been out in the weather for more than a year with no apparent problems.
