Can I mount this outside under an overhang and still work ok?

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.

Yes, that's exactly where I have mine mounted. I mounted it on the side closest the street so you can barely see it from the street. Good luck. Kenny

I have it inside. But I guess if you have it under an overhang you should be fine

Yes you can install from the outside. Just be careful not to drop anything.

Yes they can be mounted outside as long as they are covered and cannot get wet. Foscam also make a cam that is for the outside. It cost a little more but worth it.

I would not mount them on the outside just for the reason that it would shorten the life of the fan as it would more than likely get water in it even if it were protected. If your opening is large enough to trim a little of the sheet metal from the edges of the fan and mount it "recessed" from the outside wall face a few inches it will be out of the weather especially with a decorative cover. That is the method I used and have had no issues.

It can be mounted anywhere inline, but it must be grounded. It is best to be grounded straight to a grounding rod outside.

It will work where ever you put it. If you want to mount it outside where it is exposed to the elements, the company has a exterior magnetic case available.

I have ours inside the garage, but would imagine it would be fine outside if you were able to anchor it down. It has scew holes for anchoring.

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

If you have screws long enough to grab the wood underneath, but I 'm not sure you want to do that because tightening the mount down might destort your siding!! I mounted mine under the eaves and they look nice!!

no, this mount would work well for that application as well with the right type of hardware (bolts etc.) I used it in a wood beam application on a covered deck and it is awesome, put up in 5 minutes

Mine has been mounted under my porch awning for about a year now. No problems

It depends upon the situation. If you are mounting it in a place where it maintains the right angle, and the center of gravity is over the area supporting the AC, you could probably get away with it. But I feel that this would be an unusual situation. Therefore let me say that i do not recommend it.

I have these under my back patio overhang in Oklahoma City. With frequent severe weather (hail, thunderstorms, high winds, etc...), I used a self-fusing silicon tape to cover the terminals. This has worked extremely well. As long as your receiver can push these speakers, you should have no worries.

I have three mounted under the eaves of my workshop. Three months with no problems so far. I thought for sure a storm was going to get one, it had water dripping off of it but it is still working fine.

The only problem as I see it is getting secure electrical power to the unit that's mounted outdoors. Then how do you protect the unit from the elements? My answer to your question is probably "NO"! Perhaps this manufacturer makes an outdoor unit to fulfill your need. Good Luck!
