Hi Tom, I have had this camera under my porch deck since June and no problems, even with weather down to -8.

I have mine under my front porch and have not had any problems with it. Keep in mind not to get it wet if you are spraying off you porch or windows.

Yes... I have two of these hanging under the eves on my ranch home, as long as they are protected from snow and ice they work fine!

I have had two of them mounted on the outside of the house. One in mounted in our covered porch and the other is mounted under the eaves. Both have worked fine now for over a year. The one in the back does tend to draw wasps for some reason. Hope this helps

Not recommened for any outdoor use. Moisture from fog and dew can effect moveable parts, such as pan and tilt. Can be used where it don't get much moisture. Works great indoors.

Yes it can, so long as it has shelter from weather. I have mine in my rabbitry which used to be a carport and is open on the end, we have it mounted about a foot in under the eave on the ceiling. I like how it can not only rotate 360 but can pan up and down as well, so you can see everything..very sharp bright pic too!

REMEMBER TO CHECK FOR HEATERS!!! if the camera doesn't have built in heaters they can lock up in extremely cold weather!!!!

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

It has an AC adapter. You would use it outside by plugging that into a weatherproof receptacle (outlet with a plastic hood, for example). The cable entry points to the camera itself (power and wired Ethernet--the latter is optional) are provided with sealed grommets.

This camera should not be used outdoors, even under any over-head cover. There is another model for outdoor use. Also, when I purchased this camera, the Amazon description stated that it has 2 way audio... it has NO way audio. I was very unhappy about that. There is a audio out port, but it does nothing. Confirmed with Schlage support.

Yes you can use these cameras outdoors however they need to be placed under a roof overhang or some kind of cover to protect them from the elements. I've had my system up and running outside for close to 6 months and they are as good as gold.

Even though the camera is rated as suitable for outdoor I wonder how well it will stand up to the elements. Also, I think 800' exceeds the cabling standards for Ethernet by a wide margin but you should check on this. I think you may need to go with a commercial grade system.

If you can find a location that is sheltered and doesn't have large temperature swings throughout the year you would probably be okay. I have 3 of these cameras on my front and back (covered) porches and they have held up great. If you are looking for something you can mount on the side of your house you will want to look elsewhere.

I've had a series of these cameras and they DO NOT fair well outside. The rubber boot does not fully seal the cat5e and camera connection points. Over the course of a humid summer - the connections will corrode and cause intermittent signal or complete failure. If you're looking for a true outdoor camera - this isn't the right one for you.

If you put the camera in your window facing outside (like mine is) you can use it to capture outside activity, this camera is not weather-proofed and is to be used inside only!

Yes it can except there needs to be wired connection to make the camera and the doorbell work from outside your door.

I agree with Brooklyn Dodgers answer. This is an indoor camera and I wouldn't recommend using it in the elements.

As is, absolutely not. It would have to be enclosed or somehow protected from the weather. If enclosed, condensation may become an issue, causing a poor quality image and possible damage to the camera. Best to go with a camera that is made for outdoor use. Keep in mind the WiFi range limitations when you decide where to locate the camera.

No. These are great indoor cameras (I have 5 of them) but they aren't suited for outdoor use. I use the Foscam outdoor camera for that and it works great. Agasio makes a good outdoor camera that has the same pan

This can be used outdoors but you need to make sure the O-ring/ Gasket is Sealed/Seated properly. After it is seated, this is an IP66 camera rated for outdoors which is water resistant, not fully water proof. Thanks!

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.

Not that I am aware off just make sure that the camera is at least 2 feet above the ground
