I want to mount the cameras on the outside of my house. Are the cameras made for outside weather (Snow,Rain, Cold)?

Yes. They come with adjustable hoods and can mount with right side up or upside down. I have mine up all year with no problems.

Yes the ball mounting bracket is weak I set my cameras and used silicone as an addition agent to secure the camera base. They have been out in the weather in the midwest for 3 to 4 years.

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.

I can only answer for myself. I do not do much out door work so my experience is limited. I have used the 1D-x in rain but use a modified plastic bag for protection. Given what I have said I can say I have never had any weather problems using the camera.

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

Yes, the camera can be installed outdoor. It is water proof. However, there is RJ-45 socket connect to the camera, you need to shield it from water. I use a large heat sinkable tube to cover it with Ethernet cable connected.

This camera does withstand cold I put it out and it went below -50 fareheit as far as rainy weather I don't know yet I know it can withstand 6 inches of snow hope this helps

No! Not weather proof. READ their manual: Although the cameras are water resistant they are not waterproof. Cameras are intended for use in direct exposure to water, rainor snow. http://www.svat.com/downloads/manuals/CV301-8CH-008-manual.pdf

I have all four cameras posted outside, although all are under eaves, and they work fine. There is the ability to zoom in on the images once they are captured on the dvr.

You can use any camera outdoors if you place the camera in a protected area. I have used several cameras for years to monitor my lake houses...just place tight up under the eve of the roof so that it is protected. Also, I have cameras installed under the front and rear porches...just not a big deal and work just fine.

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

The camera i have it hooked to is an indoor camera, with that said,I installed the camera on a tree outside with a make shift good over the to of it about 2 months ago. It has been performing well and we've had some heavy thunderstorms come thru these last couple months.

Yup I believe so. We have 3 cameras outside and we live in new York... This winter has been extreme and so far all 3 have withstanded the elements.

The glass pops out once the screws are removed. I've removed the glass on my four Camera Housing Enclosures, pushed the cameras to the front where the glass was (for best viewing angle), and never had rain or snow issues even during storms. An occasional spider web maybe, but not in cold weather.

Technically speaking, it is not an outdoor camera. However, it can be placed outside if you mount it where it will not be exposed to direct or wind driven rain. Three of my six FI8918W cameras have been mounted outside for three years and they continue to function flawlessly. They have been exposed to extremes of temperature from below zero to nearly 100F as well as the high humidity of fog. They're doing just fine. Mount your camera on a covered porch, carport, or under a protected eave and it will be OK. Also, try mounting it upside down with a six inch diameter piece of rubber sheeting (available at Home Depot in the plumbing section) sandwiched between the base of the camera and the mount. The rubber will act as a drip shield.

The cameras are water resistant and come with a weather guards. They are magnetic mount and the manufacturer does not list any information about a permanent mount. We have these in stock and will ship immediately.Thank you.Pickup Specialties

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!

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