What external temperature is this camera rated for? We would like to use this in a location where the temperature dips to -20 degrees F at times.

that's close to the limit of the camera operation temperature. This model has been sold to EU, Russia, North of America , at present , no any defective report caused by temperature .

I have not had this camera long enough to know how temperature resistant this camera is to warmer temperature. I live in the US, and right now it is winter. I can say in temperatures that are just below freezing sometimes the camera thinks it loses it's GPS signal. Shortly after that it read or write to the SD card. It then shouts at you because it loses it's sound volume settings saying the GPS signal is gone and it has SD card errors. I usually just wait a few minutes for the car to warm up before plugging it into power. Other than that I do not have any temperature problems. Or any other problems for that matter. Just below freezing temperatures. But once you get used to the camera it's not really a problem.

Not sure where I got this, but someone pointed me to detailed camera specs when I first bought the system. It said Operating temperature is 0º to 50º C (32º to 122º F)

As others have already stated, this is not an outdoor rated camera. Having said that, I have 2 outdoors one in Texas and the other in Colorado. They are protected by being mounted under porches. I am VERY surprised at how well they have worked ... even at temperatures below zero. My only real complaint is the colors are not very good. The greens of trees are showing as browns and reds. Blue of skies is good. If pointing thru a windows, you will need to turn off the infrared. If infrared is on, it reflects on the glass making it useless.All in all, for the price, these are great cameras! As others have already stated, this is not an outdoor rated camera.

The directions actually say to leave it on in cooler weather to prevent condensation from forming within the camera. I leave my camera on 24/7/365. It's been in freezing temps down to the single digits (Fahrenheit) for the past two winters and is still working like a champ!Both the camera and the receiver need power so both would have to have a 240 to 120 converter. Try contacting the manufacturer and see if they make a 240 model.

It does not have temperature. Also, image quality is poor if that helps your decision.

the dvr is not for outdoor use .I've installed several of these in different environments inside of homes basements and attics where temperature swing during different seasons probably 55degrees up to 100,the cameras however are for outdoors and have endured 10 degrees Fahrenheit to the upper 90's or more with no issues as of yet

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.

I used this battery at about 25F. Battery was in an outside pocket, so it was cold. Seemed like instead of 5 to 8 hours of shooting, I got only 4. I searched literature, and I found a guy who did some engineered tests. At temperatures in the range of 20-32F, he measured a 15% drop in number of shots. The battery should be brought up to a more normal temperature and recharged. Place in inside pocket next to body heat.

Being in NYS, this camera just survived Sandy's furry and lived with no issues. so i can attest to its water resistance. As for battery life in cold temps, unless you find a game camera that is insulated, or figure out a way to rig it up yourself, theyre all going to be about the same. that's not really up to the camera. more up to the batteries that you use in it.

Hello, I bought this camera last year. I live on the east coast by Philadelphia and we had a brutal winter time past year. My camera is still works fine just make sure you mount it correctly. I haven't had any problems with this item

Negative. This camera does not show thermals, it uses a weak infared light to film in the dark.

I don't know about 20 below but so far it's worked fine between 10 and 20 degrees

I do not recommend this for outdoor use, it is great for indoor use (do not place next to a window where direct sunlight will hit the lens). There is really no way to protect this from the elements without building something really bizzare to house it. I use the "Agasio A622W Outdoor Wireless Pan/Tilt IP Camera" for outdoor use. It has withstood heat (100 in the shade), rain, ice, snow and extreme cold (below 0) and is working very well

All my cameras are outside, but I mount them under the eaves of the house, where rain cannot get on them or the power supply for them. An alternative might be some kind of dome cover, but optics might be affected, and condensation would need to be controlled. I am in a relatively dry area, with low humidity, so my setup works for me. Different weather conditions could raise additional problems. My cameras did well over the winter...it does get cold here.

The listed operating temperature range for the cameras are negative 4 degrees to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
