Does the enclosure inhibit the wireless capabilities of the camera? And does the dome collect moisture inside in humid environments?

No wireless signal degradation detected because of the enclosure. Moisture has not collected inside from humidity/condensation or rain in a coastal environment. I added a ring of rubberized sealant when installing the dome on the enclosure just in case. Of course, raindrops on the outside of the dome will obscure vision.

A Dome does not affect wireless signal strength. I am not in the humid environments but i can see via Dome at day time after a raining day. It is not sealed perfectly so i think it works fine with wet locale.

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

Yes it will. It sends and receives information in a similar fashion to a wireless laptop. If you have a weak signal, or you camera is outside you may want to add the larger antenna. If your wireless signal must pass through the roof, you may have problems, but just being under a metal roof should not affect it. Foscam website has searchable FAQ that may also be helpful.

The camera is designed to be used in dry conditions.The instructions say to keep it away from moisture.If you buy this model, buy the case and dust cover.The camera isn't dust friendly.

we have a detached garage so what we did was we ran it down against the rain spout in a conduit then buried it under our pathway to the main house. We haven't had problems with those cameras, I think it was a flexible conduit. We do have other 2 of our 8 cameras out now, and q-see customer service sucks! (unrelated to the buried cord)

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.

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.

This is a metal weatherproof housing.better using with wire installation, if you use for wireless camera outdoor , it is worth than nothing to cover.I know the wireless can interferr with the frequency, but the side effect is not too much.you can not find the one with the plastic material.

It's pretty sturdy, we have ours inside and it looks like it can withstand humidity. It also has good range.

It does not have a dome over the camera so most likely u will have problems with the unit. My suggestion would be to buy a heated dome unit.

Dear friend, Thank you for your questions. Please note that the camera is wireless, there is a External antenna along with the camera. Any questions, please feel free to contact with me. Best regards!

I use a number of my cameras outdoors without any enclosure. I mount them under eves and in an area where they are somewhat protected from rain. After a year of use (in all seasons and in temperatures as low as around 10 to 15 degrees F, I have had no problems at all.

SLR cameras are not very weather proof, especially odeon cameras with sophisticated electronics. Need to be very careful about moisture and taking them from cold to warm environments. Depending on your needs you buy cases but these are expensive and limit functionality. Same goes for lenses.

The antenna mounts on the camera normally. There is clearance inside the upper part of the enclosure for it. This whole unit is quite large--partly for this reason.

My understanding is that it is not: however, they do provide the water resistant case. I have not tried it when actually raining and did notice that the camera got hot when it was on. I'd recommend calling them directly if you can get through.

Yes I have 3 of them mounted outside, and it rains all the time there. You will still need to run power to it, but the video is transmitted wirelessly.
