It's not waterproof. You could only use it outside if it was completely protected from the rain .

That was my intention to view my house from work but it didn't work, so to answer your question I wouldn't know because it never worked for me..

maybe in rain free and not to damp location, it may last for a while until the moisture affects the electronics. also, the wifi has to reach the cam.

this camera is not waterproof. i have one on an enclosed porch that is not heated and it works fine.

No. This camera must be connected to a dvr. You may be looking for an ip camera.

The camera is not weather proof and should not be used as an outdoor camera. Sturdiness of the cameras in terms of `drop test' depends on the ground being dropped on and height. Pretty sturdy though.

Probably not. This camera is barebones, with all kinds of electrical potential being exposed to the environment. If you want to use this little thing outdoors, you would have to harden it to electrical interference. The cost to do it right would most likely exceed the price of a "game camera" which is designed for outdoor use.

Hey Jennifer, you have to run a wire to that cam. You can use a batt but I would not recommend it. The proper way is to run a cable and a power wire. I hope this helps.

You can.That's basically how I set mine up.Call foscam support if you get stuck anywhere.Some find the portforwarding settings a bit confusing. Just fyi. Support is very helpful, they can remote access your pc if need be.

Yes, we have all of our cameras set up outdoor. I highly recommend this system. We've been having it for about 6 months and we love it. It works great!

I think you can. When we are at home we can check the cameras on our tablets and cell phones over our home network. Still can't get it to work at outside business.

I would NOT use this outdoors. That being said most cameras rated for outside use and dvr's have motion detection recording as an option. Furthermore, something that has an IR system will not matter if your light comes on or not. Also, keep in mind, if you put a camera too close to a light you may actually degrade the quality of the image you are trying to record as all of that light close to the camera will throw off the image that is darker.

It's not good for traveling, the camera has to connect with the routers IP address. You can't do that on the road, this is pretty much only good for your house.

Well, it will depend on several variables- the bandwidth you have and the power of the router/wifi unit you have as well as considering any obstructions such as walls, etc. This model is meant to be an indoor camera. The company does make cameras for outdoor use. Depending on the distance, you may be able to extend the wifi range with one of the various such devices on the market.

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

This is NOT battery operated (it requires to be plugged to an outlet). I not 100% sure, but don't think it can be used as an outdoor camera.

It is not designed for outdoors and will fail because of the moisture. It is only rated to 95% humidity. If you live in a place like Kona, Hawaii then yes, otherwise no. Unfortunately wireless outdoor cameras are several hundred dollars (like 700). I looked as I would prefer it be outside as well.

No, it is only an radio receiver with DVD, and you may plug outside cameras, USB. Navigation works for specific maps and locations

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?
