Probably not where it can be rained on. Otherwise, it is a fantastic product.

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.

No this camera is not weather or designed for outside. You will need to use the air cam bullet

No, it is specifically stated that it is not for outdoor use. The best you could do is mount it inside a window with the camera pointing out. According to the Dropcam website they are currently developing one for outdoor use, bit it is not available yet. http://support.dropcam.com/entries/21327217-Outdoor-Dropcam-make-Dropcam-weatherproof

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.

Ive only used indoors, but i assume if you have an electric outlet close to where you are photographing then you could use outside.

I cannot recommend this cam for outdoor use mostly because it has no infrated filter which does alter the colors. Also, between sunset and rise apparently the sensor for the ir leds will let the picture flicker for quite some time. Even it is not build for outdoor use, if you install it in a covered spot, it will do. At least when you life in northern california. Not sure about temperatures below freezing.

It's an outdoor camera, but mine are mounted under the eaves. I can't attest to the weatherproof status of this unit if subjected to direct rain.

I have not tried that I do not know. I know it works very well indoor even in the dark. The outdoor cameras work very well outside or inside also

Technically speaking, this is not an outdoor camera. However, contrary to what others may tell you or you may read, 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.

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 use four of the outdoor cameras and one indoor camera. The one weak camera in the system is the indoor one. I would never buy another indoor camera, but the outdoor ones (one used indoors) work very well.
