Yes. It SHOULD / must be vented outside to be effective. The unit contains everything needed to make a correct installation through an exterior (frame) wall. You supply the electric wiring.

Yes, I did use an outdoor extension cord with it. However, I also bought a water tight cord lock cover to protect the connection. See link below:Farm Innovators Model CC-2 Cord Connect Water-Tight Cord Lock - Green

It can be installed inside or outside as long as you can run the electric cables to outside walls- Things to consider when installing outside are increase in cost to run electric line outside, security i.e. someone can take the unit from wall, is the length of cable on this unit sufficient to reach the car in garage etc. My dealer has this installed outside so that all customers can use it.

It is electronic, so I wouldn't put it outdoors. However, please read all of the comments here: it doesn't work!! Don't buy it!

We plugged ours directly into a regular outdoor outlet (via an outdoor extension cord.) It worked beautifully. We received lots of compliments.

Yes, but it still has to be plugged in. So you don't want to leave it out if it rains.

I have mine connected (for a pool pump) to a standard outdoor outlet with no problems.

Plug in that doesn't go very far so for outside jobs will def need a extension cord

The outdoor unit must be plugged into a power supply before use. We did that, but the battery would not charge.

No you don't have to, however in our area it works better outside than in. Just check to see which one works better and put it up there, works Great!

Being mounted outside it should be hard wired through sealtite to a disconnect or switch. Also would require a GFCI at the breaker panel.

I am currently using it outdoors on my cable, BUT, as it needs to be plugged in, I have a weather resistant outlet close.

The instructions in the box contains all the details. IIRC, it requires a NEMA 650 outlet with an outdoor cover (if installing outside).

No. It has a short cord at the handle and you need a long outdoor extension cord. I purchased the Extreme Weather Cord on the Amazon site.

yes it is for outdoor us.e. as with any outdoor use, make sure you plug it into a ground fault recepticle

The outlet has no GFI so using it outside even in a weatherproof box may be a code violation unless the supply feeding the outlet is a GFI breaker. You might need a phase link depending on what devices and phases are in use as the wireless signal to an external outlet might not be good enough. Hope this helps.
