Is this thing water resistant? It other words can it get wet? If I mount it and it rains?

I have my webcam inside the house, facing out thru the picture window. I believe the instructions say it's for indoor use. The camera does not look like it's weather resistant.

do not get wet,this is an indoor unit,unless you build an encloser to protect it from weather

Technically speaking, it is not an outdoor camera. However, it can be placed outside if you mount it where it will not be exposed to direct or wind driven rain. Three of my six FI8918W cameras have been mounted outside for three years and they continue to function flawlessly. They have been exposed to extremes of temperature from below zero to nearly 100F as well as the high humidity of fog. They're doing just fine. Mount your camera on a covered porch, carport, or under a protected eave and it will be OK. Also, try mounting it upside down with a six inch diameter piece of rubber sheeting (available at Home Depot in the plumbing section) sandwiched between the base of the camera and the mount. The rubber will act as a drip shield.

No, its not water resistant, i use this in Aruba (harsh conditions for electrical stuff) and it stays ok for 4 year now, i use this outdoors under the roof,

I'd say it's resistant but not water proof. I've taken it out in the pouring rain and everything inside has stayed dry, but I'd be afraid to drench it just in case.

It is very water resistant, they say do not immerse it in water (it has small openings for sound) but it's fine with shower water vapor and water runoff hitting it constantly.

well so far mine has stood up to the rain but don't stick it in a puddle. Mine is attached to the back of my jeep I haven't had any problems and I live in Washington state it rains all the time. I would say water resistant not waterproof. Like stated in the others it doesn't have any waterproofing seals.

No. This is not weather resistant. This is porous and will hold water. Also, if you simply hang it on a fence noise will travel over and around it.

The unit is weather resistant so it should be fine in normal rain, but it is not water-proof, so it obviously shouldn't be submerged.

mine is mounted in front of the radiator off to the side up high....i do not think its water proof ...no problems during heavy rain so far

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.

No it's not water proof I have water all inside the housing from driving thru a rain storm and hasn't dried yet

Unit isn't weather proof, if you mount outdoors, it does need to be potected from moisture.

It is water repellant. As far as water proof, I'm not sure about that. I have not had it out in any big rainstorms yet.

Yes, it is water resistant but I do not think it is waterproof. I leave mine outside during rain and it seems unaffected. I would not submerge it in water, however. The technical specs in the manual say it is operational between -20 C to 60 degrees C and between 5% - 90% humidity.

It is not waterproof. It's fine if it raining, but water would get in to the battery compartment if submerged.

If you are referring to being water resistant. Mine hasn't been in anyway near water. I will think it's not water resistant.

john, I have it mounted under a roof overhang so it does not get direct rain. But so far works without any issues.

It's pretty water resistant when installed correctly. If there's a heavy downpour, some water gets in at the tailgate. There's weather striping that can be installed at the tailgate to prevent this, but the minimal rain that comes in when it rains hard enough hasn't been enough of a problem for me to do it.

No it is not water resistant. However corrosion might be more of an issue. You can try to put the module in a balloon and zip tie it so it is sealed.
