you should be fine, these work both outdoors and indoors. They're water proof.

You can use any camera outdoors if you place the camera in a protected area. I have used several cameras for years to monitor my lake houses...just place tight up under the eve of the roof so that it is protected. Also, I have cameras installed under the front and rear porches...just not a big deal and work just fine.

Yes. This camera works well indoor, but when I placed it outdoor - about 30' to 40'- there's no picture or video. Also, this is not a PTZ as advertised; it's a PT only. And, like the other comments, I'm puzzled why the glass cover moves in a pan/tilt, instead of just the camera.

I've used a total of 10 Foscam FI8910W cameras over the past year or so. I tried to install a few of the cameras outside with little to no luck. They work perfectly indoors and I can highly recommend the camera. However, I would think twice about using them for outdoor use. I live in WI and the wind and freezing temperatures did not agree with the cameras. More temperate conditions may yield other results.

Yes, I have my camera pointed outside through the window pane and it works fine. There is a reflection on the glass at some parts of the day but I can see just fine.

Pzo420 camera from security cam 2000. 12 volt and making a simple jumper cable with a servo connector (also available on securitycam2000's site) just select us warehouse then fpv area. Fast shipping and reliable product. As far as display it doesn't get cheaper than the quanum goggles from hobby king. In my opinion they are garbage but people use them. But I think your putting the cart in front of the horse. I'd ask what you really want to do. Full fpv? Proximity? Aerial photography? All of these things will change the interface you'll use. Different lenses for example. An osd if you plan on getting real time flight data. Decide these things. Make a purchase plan/ budget and go. And don't skimp on things . would it be wise to total a 800$ quad because you skimped and bought an unreliable display? Hit fpvlab or fpvhub. I think you'll end up just throwing money at the problem otherwise. Good luck. And just an FYI I'd recommended a tougher and cheaper to repair airframe if you are just learning fpv.

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.

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 made this mistake too, this is a camera to be used with a CCTV which means you already have a monitor to be seen on, it's not a stand alone camera, as I think you are looking for. I didn't read the specifications properly and now I have to send it back and I ordered a WiFi / IP Camera, which can be easily set up through the computer or mobile device, you do need a current network to set it up (In case you are thinking of using it for the summer cabin or something, just an example) With IP / WiFi surveillance cameras you can set up to be recorded whether its video or pictures every period of time, although you need a computer and it has to be left on to record. I bought a Foscam FI8910W and I'm happy with it, I've playing around with it and it would do for the purpose I wanted it for, check every now and then how things are running at a work place. Hope this helps.

I am a Nikon user but the Rode was recommended by two different videographer friends who are in the business.. Put on your hotshoe, plug into camera input and switch on.. This is my first project... Note ambient sounds and birds chirping... Client was thrilled! http://youtu.be/i79Bcz4WWBM

I would have to agree with the other coments. This is more of a monitorng/security camera. I would not use this camera in a business enviroment.

I returned these cameras back; they are not rated for outdoor weather (rain, humidity). I think they will do night vision also but if you live where it is humid and rain do not get these. you want a camera IR rating of 65 or better for all weather use.

The camera is really wonderful but not for outside. I put mine by the window to check outside and turn the infrared off because the light reflects in the window glass and the only thing you can see is the infrared light. The infrared is very good, you can see everything in the deep darkness but like I said before, not through the window glass. I have a lamp outside and with that light I can see my back patio and front door. The camera is so easy to set up. It works really good. I am very tempted to buy another couple of those cameras... boy, they are good!!!

I have used them for outside, but put them in a birdhouse or some other container so they are not out in the elements. They are great little cameras.
