All 8 of my cameras are outside. They are under a roof line and are not rained on regularly.

Yes, this cable can be used outdoors. As long as your cameras are weatherproof then you can run this outdoors I have some of this wire and I put it under the siding on my home so it's not really exposed to much weather but it can still be used outside. I don't think it should be exposed directly to sunlight though. I do recommend to run it in conduit if it's going to be directly exposed outside to protect from criminals with wire cutters and the weather in general since it's pretty thin. I just ran mine under the siding under my home so if you have siding that's a good place to hide and protect the wire. Yes, this cable can be used outdoors.

Not officially. I would be careful with it in the weather. Overall I think its a great camera, I've been using one for 5 years (my review is somewhere on here) and continue to be very pleased with the results.

Yes, we have all of our cameras set up outdoor. I highly recommend this system. We've been having it for about 6 months and we love it. It works great!

This camera is most definitely not intended for outdoor use without an enclosure. There are numerous openings into the camera for alarm wire connections that would let water in. Also, the gimbal for the lens would not hold up to prolonged heat or cold. There are many cameras designed for out door use. I suggest you find one of these if you need it to be mounted outside. That being said, i have placed one of these in a window and aimed it out into the yard with pretty good results. The quality of the pictures is HIGHLY dependent on the amount of light. Eventhough it has an infrared imager, low light still uses visable lighting and results in grainy images. This camera is most definitely not intended for outdoor use without an enclosure.

Hi Debra, It can be for outdoor use if you have it in a waterproof, weatherproof container of some kind. However, it's really intended I believe, for indoor use. The small size makes it easy to use inside small items such as teddy bears, clocks, behind pictures or inside front door peak openings which is where I use mine. It's also important to keep in mind that this is a camera that works best in daytime light. It doesn't like darkness. Not even darkness that has been lit up. The quality during daytime light is beautiful and full of clarity and color. However, whenever the area is dark, your picture will be dark too.

this camera would work fine outside as long as you keep it out of the weather. i know that sounds contradictory but even though this says "outdoor" i would try to keep it under a roof or eave or something that shields it from the worst of the weather. as far as operating temps...i would not expect anything wireless to work well in the winter so take that into consideration if you live in a northern climate.

The camera is not weather proof and should not be used as an outdoor camera. Sturdiness of the cameras in terms of `drop test' depends on the ground being dropped on and height. Pretty sturdy though.

Can the drop cam pro be used outdoors and under what temperature limitations

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

This is not sold as an exterior video camera. That said, if the area is really sheltered from rain (like a porch), it probably would be OK. Really depends on where you live. If you live in a foggy area, I wouldn't use this outside at all. This camera is NOT weather-proofed, so using it outside might void any product guarantee. You can talk OR listen, but not at the same time--I think

This is NOT battery operated (it requires to be plugged to an outlet). I not 100% sure, but don't think it can be used as an outdoor camera.

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!

It is not weatherproof like camera's intended for external use are. Power connection is not waterproof, and no hood to protect the lens from sun glare. I would not recommend.

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 would say yes as long as it stays dry...but rather than take the chance of hot humid and cold winter, get the outdoor camera so it is under warranty. By using indoor cam for outside might negate warranty...but yes it will work but not sure for how long?
