Yes. This is an outdoor weather proof camera and a good value for the price

No. This is not an outdoor camera. It would probably survive humidity for a short time, but not direct exposure to weather.

Not officially. I would be careful with it in the weather. Overall I think its a great camera, I've been using one for 5 years (my review is somewhere on here) and continue to be very pleased with the results.

Hi Debra, It can be for outdoor use if you have it in a waterproof, weatherproof container of some kind. However, it's really intended I believe, for indoor use. The small size makes it easy to use inside small items such as teddy bears, clocks, behind pictures or inside front door peak openings which is where I use mine. It's also important to keep in mind that this is a camera that works best in daytime light. It doesn't like darkness. Not even darkness that has been lit up. The quality during daytime light is beautiful and full of clarity and color. However, whenever the area is dark, your picture will be dark too.

It's an outdoor camera, but mine are mounted under the eaves. I can't attest to the weatherproof status of this unit if subjected to direct rain.

Sorry, I can't answer that question because the camera that I purchased was installed in South Florida. I can tell you that there does not appear to be any sort of weatherproof housing so it's very susceptible to the elements... hot/cold/wet/dry. The unit that I purchased didn't last a month before failed. If it's indoors it might last a longer. Good luck

I believe that the camera can be used under water, BUT it has to be in a waterproof case. I am not sure how this "feature" makes it different from any other camera, but that is my understanding

I don't think so as it's not designed as a waterproof camera. I does, however work pretty well indoors in my basement. The IR lights are bright and I can see clearly the entire basement in total darkness.

The camera is not weather proof. However, if you can protect it from driving rain through judicious placement such as on a covered porch or under protected eaves, it will do just fine. I have five Foscam cameras and two have been outside for two years. They work flawlessly. They have endured extremes of temperature from below zero to nearly 100 degrees as well as high humidity in the form of fog.

Yes it can as long as the rain or weather does not get to it. However, I would think you would want a more substantial video camera set up for outside security on a regular basis. It is not a heavy duty item. Also, the battery life is very short so you'd want to plug it into an outlet.

These cameras are not intended for use outside. They can't get wet. However you can use them. I have one mounted under the edge of the roof to give it some protection from the weather. I also modified a dummy housing to fit one camera. When you do that you can't use the globe because it reflects the infrared back into the lense

The cameras are Weather proof meaning they can be mounted outside and are able to work on normal weather conditions such as rain, and sun. the camera cannot be submerge in water. They are not water proof. they are weather proof.

The camera is weather proof, as long as it is not exposed directly to rain or snow. Mine is mounted under the eaves near the front door and I have not had any problems so far.

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.

It doesn't appear to be waterproof but I haven't had a reason to find out. I definitely would not immerse it with a camera inside.
