Are the camera weather resistant?

Yes they are weather resistant but not weather proof (from the docs they supply).

The camera is not weather proof. However, if you can protect it from driving rain through judicious placement such as on a covered porch or under protected eaves, it will do just fine. I have five Foscam cameras and two have been outside for two years. They work flawlessly. They have endured extremes of temperature from below zero to nearly 100 degrees as well as high humidity in the form of fog.

No, it is not designed to be weather resistant. Fujifilm is scheduled to release a line of weather resistant lenses later this year to compliment the XT-1. Hope that helps!

I have one installed on an open-air porch area, where the camera is protected from rain by an overhang. It seems fine there. It's worked down into single-digit cold this winter.

They are rated for outdoor use, so yes they are water-proof. My are tucked up under the eaves of the house. It's a very good camera.

I installed my camera outside, it is metal and weather proof, not underwater.

The switch end of the camera has a removable waterproof cover, and the rest of the camera body is a sealed unit. So while it may not be waterproof, it IS rainproof.

The cameras are already built for the outdoor so I believe it would be very hard for rain to get in. As far as heat is concerned I do not think that would be an issue since the electronics are already enclosed inside the built in unit.

You can definitely put theses cameras outdoors. I've had the system for two years in Chicago where we get below zero temperatures and no problem.

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.

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.

I don't know if they are "rain proof" but they are certainly "rain resistant." They seem to be sealed very well and there is a rain shield on the top of the camera. It will slide out to shield the lens from stray raindrops. I tried to mount my cameras where they would be protected from direct rain.

Yes, youbcan use this outdoors. Just to help with weather-proofing, I put a small piece of plastic mounted right above the camera "tube".

I have used them for outside, but put them in a birdhouse or some other container so they are not out in the elements. They are great little cameras.

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.

Yes, the lens that comes with the AW1 is weatherproof. Other Nikon 1 lenses also work with the AW1, but are not weatherproof.
