Andrea,I contacted the manufacturer directly, and they said it was their mistake to print that the camera was "suitable for the backyard." They refunded my money when I pointed out that error. I looked at the camera closely, and it is not sealed and has open vents that would allow water to enter directly enter the electronics of the camera. It wouldn't last very long in the open rain. I suppose if a person could put the camera in a sort of clear plastic box, it might work.Ken

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

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.

No. This is not an outdoor camera. It would probably survive humidity for a short time, but not direct exposure to weather.

With the waterproof shell the camera can go outside, but the IR lamp is not designed for outdoor use.

In my experience, the camera is probably better suited for outdoor use. I tested it indoors before outdoor installation and the sharpness in images seemed better in natural lighting.

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!

Not 100%, but as long as the camera has the port for it and Bulb mode, you should be set.

I agree with the other answer. Camera is ok, but cable set is not weatherproof.

It is not weather proof. If you install it outside you have to make sure it is protected. When the temperature gets below 30 F or so the CCD has a little problem with noise. You will see lots of noise in the picture and the motion sensing will get triggered continuously.

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

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.

I've used a total of 10 Foscam FI8910W cameras over the past year or so. I tried to install a few of the cameras outside with little to no luck. They work perfectly indoors and I can highly recommend the camera. However, I would think twice about using them for outdoor use. I live in WI and the wind and freezing temperatures did not agree with the cameras. More temperate conditions may yield other results.

No. These are great indoor cameras (I have 5 of them) but they aren't suited for outdoor use. I use the Foscam outdoor camera for that and it works great. Agasio makes a good outdoor camera that has the same pan

I don't have the outside camera. I have a wireless indoor Foscam camera that I use through my router. It does have to be able to be plugged into electricity. Sorry I cannot answer the question about the outdoor Foscam.
