Are the cameras weatherproof?

They aren't weather proof. They are labeled weather resistant. My two are outside but under cover out if the rain.

Do not leave exposed. Mount under the eve or soffit. This camera has a two way speaker system so it's nice to use over a door.

Sorry, we returned the SVAT quickly and ddin't discover if the cameras were waterproof

I believe so. I would not leave them exposed. Mounted under differ or eve will cover.

I agree with Brooklyn Dodgers answer. This is an indoor camera and I wouldn't recommend using it in the elements.

I have this exact setup, purchased through amazon. They are mounted under sofit, and so far been in sleet, snow, rain for days straights, and very hot and humid weather. In my experience yes they are so far in fact weatherproof

Yes! They were built to be weatherproof. Mine sit outside all the time and they are still going

I use my cams outdoors - as long as they are kept dry and not exposed to exstreme heat or frozen - they will work fine.

Yes, they are "so far" weather proof. The pigtails are even silicon-ed from the factory.

The manufacturer doesn't list outdoor use for the camera. My opinion is that it is not weather proof in any way. It would probably work if enclosed in a glass or acrylic bubble however this unit is quite big and very wide when taking the antenna mount into consideration. I have one in a bay window with three panes and that works extremely well for 180 degree outside views.

it is weather proof and works in freezing temperature very well. I would recommend this camera for use in cold weather climates with rain and snow

No, the camera has a water protective cover on it but this is just for possibility of maybe a light rain, not submersable

They are rated for outdoor use, so yes they are water-proof. My are tucked up under the eaves of the house. It's a very good camera.

No. These are great indoor cameras (I have 5 of them) but they aren't suited for outdoor use. I use the Foscam outdoor camera for that and it works great. Agasio makes a good outdoor camera that has the same pan

I have used several of these and they are not waterproof at all. Once they get misty inside they take forever to dry out. My son has no problem with the one I installed for him because the mount is rather well encapsulated,but I don't think he has taken it through a car wash. The cameras I bought had had four vent holes in the back, so "water resistant" is probably what the "waterproof" specification the manufacturer refers to means. And, I can't close without mentioning that my experience was that these cameras tend to turn green and red into pink. That makes for very pretty landscapes, but no so much for color accuracy.

I have all four cameras posted outside, although all are under eaves, and they work fine. There is the ability to zoom in on the images once they are captured on the dvr.

I brought the cameras to the tropics where rainfall is higher than here in the US. So far I did not have any problems with water going into the cameras. I should say they are waterproof.

Yes they can! I have quite a few wired outside. However, I would recommend wrapping them in duck tape and hinding the wires as a precaution. This keeps the mosture and weather away. I did this to all of the outdoor cameras and tucked all the wires inside the walls. Water is never a good thing when it comes to any electronic components and or wires.

It does not appear to be weatherproof. There are many very small outdoor cameras that are weatherproof though. I have many outside. I only use this indoors.
