Can the gps be installed outside

Yes. Works best if it is outside. Just make sure it protected for harsh weather.

have my GPS antennae on a window sill and it works fine. I do not know if it can withstand external temperatures or moisture.

It would be subject to freezing in cold climates, otherwise I do not see a reason why it can't be installed outdoors. The plastic housing would likely degrade over time in direct sunlight so a shady location would be better.

I doubt it. I have found the device very unreliable. Half the time it will not pick up a GPS signal.

Yes, I believe it is OK to use outside -I use mine outside. It comes with a plastic base that can be screwed onto any flat surface like a floor or a wall. After mounting, the antenna can be angled nearly any direction. It increased my reception from two bars to the maximum of five bars and it brought in several sites that were not previously visible.

For the GPS to work it needs a GPS antenna connected to the GPS port on the back of the head unit, the GPS antenna is supplied.

You can use the cable outside, but it's a must that you use protective housing to guard it from the elements.

Not with this device. They might have a three wire version, try calling the seller. There are plenty of other GPS devices that hardwire into the vehicle or work on batteries.

Hi Alexander, I would not put this in the outdoors. If you want to use it externally, build an enclosure for it with a glass window. Also I had trouble with the ddns server - it stopped working until today. If you have any luck let me know please. Thanks Tony

No, it has to be installed outside the tub, however there are poles available that has grasp extensions that can be rotated so that it can be reached better

It is electronic, so I wouldn't put it outdoors. However, please read all of the comments here: it doesn't work!! Don't buy it!

Yes, it can be placed outdoors. The critical controls are protected by a clear plastic cover. Make sure your power source is fully grounded if you live in a wet environment.

It can be used outdoors as long as you protect it from direct exposure to rain, snow, etc. I have used one successfully outdoors mounted under the overhang on a house.

No. I believe it can only be used outside. I've only used it outside and it works great.

IMO it doesn't seem like an outdoor capable. seems like a light duty thing...so I would not install it outside.

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.
