is the outdoor sensor waterproof

It is waterproof...I leave mine out year round...in harsh below zero weather to 100+...not a problem.

Not waterproof, but not affected by wet or damp weather. Ours worked great for years, hanging under an eave in Western WA state, where there are a lot of damp and rainy days. We moved to Dallas, where we only have brick exterior and set it on a window sill. We got about 3 inches of snow and freezing temps and we forgot to bring it in. Needless to say, it died. We are getting another one and will try a new solution.

I would call them "water resistant", not proof. They have a rubber seal inside a groove that protects the battery compartment. That said, I hang them somewhere under an eve, mostly to keep them out of direct sunlight. If the units sit in the sun, you get temperature readings that are too high. As far as rain and heavy weather, I live in the tropical rainforest part of Oregon and I've never had any trouble with the sensors going bad. Getting them to stay connected to the base can be a challenge though. Always use lithium ion batteries, or you'll regret it.

Not totally waterproof! I didn't know and installed one close to a tree. After a rain, it quit transmitting. It says to install it out of direct rain. So that's why mine quit working after a bad rain and it was out in the rain!

The sensor can be located in any environment but the display itself should be in a relatively dry and protected location. The case is not weatherproof, and the battery contacts should be protected from humidity and airborne contaminants, ie dirt.

The receiver is not waterproof. It technically can be used outdoors, in the same way you can go outside with a cordless telephone, but it is not designed for any type of permanent outdoor installation.

you would have to ask Homedics about that. frankly, I could not get the outdoor sensor provided with my unit to work at all. I finally had to return it for credit.

It probably not waterproof but yes, I mounted the alarm under the eves of the roof in front of the house. I believe it turns off after a while if a motion sensor is activated. Most alarms will re-arm itself after a cycle of a few minutes.

The particular model you are asking about is weather proof. I have 3 of the, installed outside my home. Other very close model numbers are not.

I dont recomend to use outdoor. It is an eletronic lock and it isnt waterproof.

Yes the housing is weather proof...I have it outside in the backyard in the elements. Its going on 12 months in June and no hiccups. Just have to clean the cells. Make sure you have 12 inches of PVC pipe before the sensor if not it wont work. Very happy with the purchase.

If by that you mean "is it water proof", almost nothing electrical that isn't sealed is safe for outdoor use. On the other hand it is ruggedly built with an on-off switch to turn on-off electrical power. But I wouldn't leave it outside in the rain.

Yes, the camera can be installed outdoor. It is water proof. However, there is RJ-45 socket connect to the camera, you need to shield it from water. I use a large heat sinkable tube to cover it with Ethernet cable connected.

No, it not waterproof. Yes it can be used outside, just don't get it wet! I use mine all the time outside!! Yeah, electronics and water don't mix too well.

I do not know if it is "officially" weatherproof but mine got rained on last September (albeit light rain) and unit was not affected.

This unit is waterproof. The most important issue is to be sure it is exposed to maximum sunlight to fully charge the battery. If you place it too high the motion sensor wont work.Thanks

it has a water sensor however it gets fully submerged it may go bad. there are metal contacts exposed

Yes, it is waterproof. However, it snaps a lot of nothing shots. The battery compartment got a bunch of some type of bugs in it while out in the woods.

I don't know if it should be mounted outside or if the sensor can be placed in water. I've installed mine inside in a temperature and moisture controlled area--with the sensor inside a conventional refrigerator. I suggest you contact Johnson Controls for more information about how to complete your installation.

Yes. I've had my sensor outside year round, from 90+ to -25. In extreme cold I've noticed a problem that it changes from degrees F to degrees C but other than that the sensor works great.
