Can this be mounted outdoors fully exposed to the elements (in Bay Area)?

Absolutely.That's exactly what it's made for.I have mine mounted outside in New England and it handles our frigid, snowy winters and rainy other seasons no problem.Just mount it antennas up. Like in the pictures. Otherwise water could get in.

Yes it can. I have 4 of these mounted on a building outside that get exposed to the sun all afternoon. I ended up building a 3 sided metal enclosure with holes for the antennas to stick out of to keep the sun off of the unit directly. This shouldn't be needed but these units get warm to the touch even inside. The enclosure is painted white and has no bottom to allow free-flow air around the AP. This is only intended to extend the life of the AP

It will work where ever you put it. If you want to mount it outside where it is exposed to the elements, the company has a exterior magnetic case available.

In my opinion, yes, it can be put outside (sun, rain, etc) because that is where the sun is. The solar array seems sealed in an aluminum frame. For the 12 VDC connections on the back, you might want to put some silicon sealer on them to waterproof and prevent corrosion and make sure your wires are waterproofed.

While the unit does work well, I would NOT use the item in an outdoor application. It is not designed for un sheltered environments.

Christopher, yes you can mount the TCA panel on exterior wall providing it is protected from elements (rain & snow). However the extreme temperatures may be outside of operating spec of breakers. My panel is installed outdoors (I live in Canada) and after two years in service, it performs without a hitch.

I suppose it could be. It would depend on where you lived and what you put on it. Given the structural integrity id have to imagine it wouldn't fair well in inclement weather.

It can be, but I would run it under eaves or somewhere protected from direct sunlight and weather. They are not really meant for outdoor use, but I run them when I have to.

Yes...this unit can be wall mounted but it has to be adequately vented to the outside.

We mounted ours in the garage. I don't know if it can go outside. It works well for us!

It is not designed for that, and is not moisture resistant, so I would not do so. Units designed for outdoor use are designated as such by UL.

If it were installed under an eave our other location not exposed to direct weather, I don't see why the metal housing wouldn't hold up. The units are well constructed.

Yes, this can be mounted onto brick, however, I don't think the finish would survive being out in the elements. I purchased it for interior hanging in my living room.

Yes they can be mounted outside as long as they are covered and cannot get wet. Foscam also make a cam that is for the outside. It cost a little more but worth it.

Yes it could be mounted to an exterior wall with anchors however, it is not a "weatherproof" exterior rated box.

They do sell waterproof outdoor enclosures that can be used for mounting it outdoors, but they cost as much as the camera itself, so you'd have to really want it. If you have a suitable location under soffits it may be okay, but I've just been placing it indoors looking out a window, which works well enough. Outside would be a much better view and the IR illumination could be used, but could affect long term longevity.

I think it could be mounted outdoors easily. That said, you might risk rust in a few places where the gate latches.

To be honest with you, I don't think I would. It does have some metal objects that may rust and then shorten the life of the shade. I installed mine outside of course but the mount is under the patio overhang to protect it from direct sunlight and water. I'm not an expert this is just my opinion.
