Do you think this camera will hold up to the rain of Western Washington State?

I live in WA and had this deployed both in the driveway for rainy weeks and in the woods. I do believe this will be effective in WA for the long run. This is by far the best camera I've purchased in the price range!

have 2 of these cameras and we have had a very wet summer here in Wisconsin. And I have had no problems with either one.

I have used this camera for almost a year.. no problems with the seal. A custom setting with the blur reduction set to advanced will give you a better picture.

We are currently testing this camera. It has been out in our spring rains in Wisconsin and so far we have not had any issues with the seals leacking.

I haven't owned it long enough (i.e. field tested it) to judge. Need to realize that there are several seals - not only the obvious perimeter seal, but internal ones around the lens and sensors. They are thin seals, very flexible, but quality. I have an old professional scuba camera and to maintain the seals you use vaseline. I'm going to use that same maintenance trick on these seals to (hopefully) maintain their integrity. Hope that helps.

Unfortunately I was unable to find anything in the paperwork stating it is waterproof. The camera comes with a waterproof case that has buttons for operation, and the remote is definitely water resistant if not waterproof, it would not be effected by rain but I am not sure if it is submersible.

I prob wouldn't recommend it. There are cameras designed for outdoor use that are sealed properly from moisture and other potential damage.

I live in the northeast. We have had some bad wind/rain storms I have had no problems. This will be my first winter with the cameras. I will say putting cameras up was the best thing I did.

Mine has held up so far through after almost four months of late summer T-storms and fall rains. For only $15 I wouldn't complain if it was dead in the morning having only lasted a few months, you get what you pay for. DO NOT buy the little chrome dome-shaped camera on Amazon, it will get condensation on the inside and be useless very quickly.

Its a very good camera .. not overly fragile but yes, .. if dropped you could damage it some .. a lot depends ..drop on grass, or concrete / ..from how high ..but it has a place for a strap .. its a relatively small camera..use the strap

The camera has not given me trouble with rain in the time of use (I live in Costa Rica is a tropical country with lots of rain). Regarding the night vision is well within walking distance.

Its a great inexpensive camera with a ton of features. Nope it's not waterproof.

My camera is completely waterproof. I have 3 small children and that is the best test for shock and under water. Over a year now and it is as sturdy as can be. Don't expect very high quality pics but for normal use is very good. And fun...

The camera is water proof. I have used one for my work in harsh environments for some time now, and it is an excellent camera. Due to this, I bought one for my son.

I have one installed on an open-air porch area, where the camera is protected from rain by an overhang. It seems fine there. It's worked down into single-digit cold this winter.

It will not hold up outdoors in the elements unless you can mount it under an eve or some other place where it will be out of the weather. It is not weather proof. I would suggest not using this outdoors. I have used one in a basement for several years now and the quality is equal to many other cameras that I have. Works great indoors to disguise as a camera. Nobody pays any attention to it which was my intention.

yes. i have used mine in the rain and it still works great. the only thing i might worry about is the camera and connections. i would cover those just in case.

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

Hi Tom, I have had this camera under my porch deck since June and no problems, even with weather down to -8.

Well since its an inside camera. It can't handle NO direct rain, as well as bitter cold, there is no telling what the life will be of the camera. Humidity to temp fluctuations will greatly impact the operation. Inside or outside the IR requires a lot of light changes to switch from day to night. I have one in my garage with windows and can only use the schedule IR otherwise the IR stays on all of the time.
