can you use this outdoors? not completely outdoors, but in a public garage.

I would suggest getting an outdoor model as even in covered areas there can be high humidity.

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.

I would say yes as long as it stays dry...but rather than take the chance of hot humid and cold winter, get the outdoor camera so it is under warranty. By using indoor cam for outside might negate warranty...but yes it will work but not sure for how long?

Since it is an indoor camera, I would say it would be OK as long as it is not subjected to rain, moisture condensation, and/or extreme temperatures. Also, it should be mounted in a spot with good air ventilation; otherwise, heat built-up from the camera LED lights could damage the camera or may cause fire (read and follow the camera instruction manual)

Carol O, yes it can be used outside. I use mine outside all the time and can feel a noticeable difference upto about 20 feet away.

Yes, I only use it outdoors. I put it in the shed if rain is expected, though.

Personally I used inside but works of for the garages sensors. I will say you can place it outside but must be away from rain. What I did recommend you for operation ranges make test before you decide where to place it.

I believe you could. I mounted my outside near my deck and ran an electrical cord to it. It works great.

It is for outdoor use only. I would not use it inside for any reason. Works great outside. Hope this helps.

Yes you can use it outdoors. right now I have it in a fountain out side on my patio and works fine.

It is very well built. I think you could use it outdoors in moderate conditions but it's not specifically built for that purpose. In a garage or in a covered electrical outlet i would think would be fine. Somewhere out exposed to rain or snow i would not recommend, but then again i would not recommend any plugged in electrical connections in such environments.

I use mine in my garage above the door to the house. The garage doors are open but on windy days it is not really effective. I don't think it would work in an open-air area.

Hello, yes this can be used in a garage. We used it outdoors on the fence and it worked very well.

Bob, I think any electrical component with the contacts exposed to the weather would not be suitable to be used outside. You would have to use parts specially designed for outside use.

Please disregard my previous answer; hit the wrong key. No, I wouldn't use it outside, totally exposed to the weather. People have used these in their garages, but never completely outside. I use them in my basement, which works really well, but these light fixtures were actually designed to be used in photography applications. People just adapt them for use in their houses and garages.

I can't imagine why not. However, it's quite pricey due to the fact that it is UL Listed for outdoor use. You may be able to find something much more reasonably priced for indoor use.

yes it can be use outdoor. But keep in mind its rust resistance and not rust prove. So, eventually after years of usage it will rust.

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.

We live in Florida and use it inside not outside. I think you could, would you want to bring it in if it was gonna rain.

it is not for inside the house at all. I have used it in a well ventilated garage though.
