Is it waterproof for outdoor application?

I bought my heating cable at the beginning of last winter. I has worked fine for me. I used my heating cable inside of a building where it was not exposed to the weather other than low temperatures. I guess the lowest temp. to have been around -10 degrees.

of course the plug on the end would have to be protected but its very waterproof and I'm very happy with the quality and fact that it has a small led that glows in the plug when its on and I can tell its working.

I wouldn't say it is waterproof, but it's pretty water tight. Mine is installed under a covered porch. I don't think it would hold out water if submersed, but unless it is subjected to severely heavy rain regularly, I think it would be okay.

No, it not waterproof. Yes it can be used outside, just don't get it wet! I use mine all the time outside!! Yeah, electronics and water don't mix too well.

I have one, It's not meant to be used Outside. Certainly if you put it outside, it will work, but I wouldn't want to get it wet or leave it exposed to extreme weather. I don't see it being capable of withstanding the elements.

It's not waterproof. You could only use it outside if it was completely protected from the rain .

I would not call it waterproof. Mine has been camping in the rain and it survived quite well, but I would be wary of using it in really wet conditions.

No, this is not for outdoor use, unless you can keep it covered such a way that there is no chance of getting water into it. This is an electrical equipment with electronic circuitry and any water getting in will certainly and immediately damage it.

No,it is not intended for outdoor use, however if it is placed where it will not be directly exposed to the elements, it should be fine. If you place it under a porch, gazebo, or similar protection, so that it isn't soaked by a rainfall, there should be no worries.

Yes, its waterproof. I have had it outside for months, no leaks or water problems.

If you mean outside, NO, it is not waterproof. I have mine mounted on the basement cement block wall that is dirt outside.

I would suggest you check with the manufacturer to be 100% sure. My disclaimer answer would be "NO", its not intended for outdoor use. But if you are using it in a dry setting where there is absolutely no water, liquids, snow near or touching it, I don't see why it would be a problem.

Since the description does not say it is weatherproof, I would not use it outdoors.

not waterproof, if you use it outside you will have to find a way to cover it

I doubt that it is rated for outdoor use. Perhaps in a weather-protected enclosure you could.

It's not water proof but I used it outside and didn't have any problems with it.

No, it is specifically stated that it is not for outdoor use. The best you could do is mount it inside a window with the camera pointing out. According to the Dropcam website they are currently developing one for outdoor use, bit it is not available yet. http://support.dropcam.com/entries/21327217-Outdoor-Dropcam-make-Dropcam-weatherproof
