It built with an aluminum housing, so it is waterproof. Actually you'd better use it indoor I suggest , that can have a long life.

Since it is an indoor camera, I would say it would be OK as long as it is not subjected to rain, moisture condensation, and/or extreme temperatures. Also, it should be mounted in a spot with good air ventilation; otherwise, heat built-up from the camera LED lights could damage the camera or may cause fire (read and follow the camera instruction manual)

Carl,It is specifically designed to be an indoor camera. It can probably work outside as long as you shield the camera from rain, ice, snow, or dust and the outside temperature falls within the Camera's operating temperature range. Otherwise, the camera will not last long being exposed to the elements and in any case you void the warranty!

I prob wouldn't recommend it. There are cameras designed for outdoor use that are sealed properly from moisture and other potential damage.

Great little cam but I highly doubt it is waterproof in any sense of the term.....my suggestion - don't take it on a water ride !

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.

This camera is not designed for outdoor use. I point mine out a clear window (no screen) and get a very nice view. I am thinking of experimenting with an outdoor enclusre that I would make myself, but as the camera comes now, it probably would not hold up well outdoors unless it was very sheltered.....

The camera does not appear to be waterproof. I would not suggest something outside.

This camera is most definitely not intended for outdoor use without an enclosure. There are numerous openings into the camera for alarm wire connections that would let water in. Also, the gimbal for the lens would not hold up to prolonged heat or cold. There are many cameras designed for out door use. I suggest you find one of these if you need it to be mounted outside. That being said, i have placed one of these in a window and aimed it out into the yard with pretty good results. The quality of the pictures is HIGHLY dependent on the amount of light. Eventhough it has an infrared imager, low light still uses visable lighting and results in grainy images. This camera is most definitely not intended for outdoor use without an enclosure.

These are indoor cameras. I recommend against using them outdoors, especially since Foscam makes outdoor versions that are similarly priced.

I have my webcam inside the house, facing out thru the picture window. I believe the instructions say it's for indoor use. The camera does not look like it's weather resistant.

This is sold as an indoor camera. What is the difference between outdoor and indoor? I suppose that you could use it outdoor as long as it is protected from rain and that you keep it within the operating conditions. The LNC216 Spec sheet you can download from Lorex states "Operating conditions: 0-50 C Humidity 20 - 80% RH (non-condensing)"

I don't see anything in the description that indicates it's supposed to be indoor/ outdoor. I would not try to put this thing outside in the cold or in the rain.

The camera is not weather proof and should not be used as an outdoor camera. Sturdiness of the cameras in terms of `drop test' depends on the ground being dropped on and height. Pretty sturdy though.

It says it's and indoor camera but if it is protected from the elements by a covered patio it should be ok. The camera is a wireless ip camera and does not have to be hardwired.
