How easy would this be able to be mounted on an outdoor (concrete) balcony with wires running through a screened window?

That is not going to work very well. The cable need to be routed thru a wall or over hang

I wouldn't run the wires through a screen door.....not sure how you would close the door. You have video and 12VDC power to terminate. You can mount the camera bracket flush on the concrete with appropriate hardware, so that's possible.Also - I ended up returning this camera as the focus was poor throughout the depth of frame. I went with a camera with a manual focus. You might have better luck, it might have been a problem with that camera.Good luck with your install.

I make a hole thru the concrete that was the hard time but not so much, but the camera is awesome I have another SWANN cameras but this one Defender is really a good deal. Blessing from Costa Rica.

pretty easy - the most difficult thing is just getting a good spot for the solar panel. Then, it's just mounting the panel and and light and plugging in the wires. Very simple really. The first one we bought did not work (wouldn't hold a charge) but Amazon sent another that has worked perfectly. Pleased with the product.

It surely can be mounted outside, I don't know about opening gates since I am using it to open a 12ft. shop door.

It was simple to install, it took me about 30 mins most of which was mounting the antenna where I wanted it. If you can replace an outlet or a light switch this is much easier. Maybe closer to replacing a video card in a PC. Just turn off the power to the panel and record where all of the current wires connect on the old board.

It can only be mounted on the exterior, and it needs a hole to run the wires. I would not think it would be suitable for use on a window.

My contractor had to run the wires from outside my house and along my vestibule walls to get in the house to hide the wires. You will definitely need the 50ft of wiring. I did not hook it up to my locks. I am still uncomfortable with that technology in my home.

Trial and error would be your best bet. If you have a previous cable provider you can connect the antenna in to the input and send the signal throughout your home of course that would mean mounting it outside. I did this and it worked great.

Mr. Bosco, great idea however I believe that you would be best served by running an independent source to the light. A little critter chewing a hole in the wire eliminates the system security. The previous comments are really quite true. Safety first!

You can, but I think you'd be better off finding a way to attach it to the window frame and run the wire. Mine is outside, and the wire goes inside straight to a small amplifier then to the coax house wiring.

You could place this outside and solder the wires indoors to a wireless switch (jump the button on the PCB). It seems to be the only way to get a nice looking "wireless" switch. They used to make recessed cylinder wireless switches that could be easily set into the wall and use hardware of your choice. Can't find them anywhere now.

I just put a couple of screws in the window frame. It works well. No intruders.

I guess you could mount one on the outside or at least put a metal screen on it, so you wouldnt have to put a hole in it. That's what I would do.

I would try to. I installed my unit in a 500sqft rectangular room. Place the unit on a solid exterior wall with easy access for electrical and drainage. Mount the exterior condensor above ground with the supplied wall mount. It looks clean and will be out of the way. I did have two leaking valves that cost me to have the unit recharged after 2 months of operation. Either than that the unit is good for the price.

You should be fine with your outside options. We mounted our screen onto a wood frame (like a picture frame) and then hung it from the ceiling. Hope this helps!

You realilze that this is a roll of screen (soft and plyable like fabric) that is meant to be mounted in a frame? You might be able to use it to fence a yard but it would depend on what you would use to mount it. And it would probably take quite a few rolls of this to do it. I think that there are better options and probably less expensive options for you to fence the yard with. It is strong but very, very flexible.

Not very easy. You need to disassemble the control box to expose the leads. You could probably jump from inside. No exterior d/c port.

i had mine installed about 3 inches from the outside wall because it is electric i felt that it would not be a good idea to expose it to the washington rains by looking at the exposed wires and wire rap .i did not see and thing in the instructions which would not permit it .
