Do you offer a non-metalic weatherproof housing for a wireless camera

This is a aluminum enclosure. You must use a camera that does not come with a mounting bracket. As far as the durability of this enclosure, I have had one mounted outside for two years and it is in very good condition with no indication of wear. I bought two more and use them in direct sunlight here in the Los Angeles area. The price is almost half of what is charged at local security camera shops.

This is a metal weatherproof housing.better using with wire installation, if you use for wireless camera outdoor , it is worth than nothing to cover.I know the wireless can interferr with the frequency, but the side effect is not too much.you can not find the one with the plastic material.

Honestly I didn't see anything stating it was weather resistant... so far the camera has been amazing camera for the price.

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

Most competitive offerings provide specifications related to this question. Foscam does not. It would be expected that this camera's enclosure rating is IP66, suitable for outdoor use (that is rain, drizzle, etc.) It's always a good idea to find a spot that offers some protection from the elements.

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.

Don't know but a few years back I installed an ancient Sony camera in an enclosure and mounted it on the side of our home. I also bought a (believe it or not) cheap plastic mount that swiveled the enclosure with a remote controlled little motor...worked great and the pictures which I copied onto my hard drive looked fine. I don't see any reason why this newer camera won't produce good pictures mounted inside of a weather proof enclosure.

That is recommended for all outdoor cameras to reduce hardware failures due to direct sunlight and condensation buildup with humid environments. If you put the camera in a shaded area that is moderately protected from direct rains and elements you should be fine. The camera is rated IP66: http://www.thecctvblog.com/what-is-ip66/ which means it is dust proof and water resistant to heavy seas and splashing. But humidity and extremes in temps can cause condensation which can harm the camera. ftp://ftp.wintel.fi/docs/Dahua/DH-IPC-HDB3200C.pdf

Yes. This is an outdoor weather proof camera and a good value for the price

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.

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.

Yes it can be used outdoors; mine is installed outdoors and is doing very well! Listed below, you'll find some of the camera's outstanding features: 1. Do-it-yourself(D.I.Y.), easy to setup and use 2. Weatherproof camera design for outdoor usage 3. Flexible channel setting camera design 4. Perfect for monitoring around your home or business 5. Wireless video direct to your TV or recorder 6. High quality picture and sound transmitting and receiving 7. No interference from crowded 2.4GHz devices 8. Built-in IR LEDs for night vison (up to 23ft, B/W) 9. Stronger wall penetration than 2.4GHz/5.8GHz wireless transmission 10. Video transmission goes up to 330ft clear line of sight or 100ft indoor

It is not weatherproof like camera's intended for external use are. Power connection is not waterproof, and no hood to protect the lens from sun glare. I would not recommend.

No, your device is not protected. It just means that the mount is weather proof.

Everything I've seen costs at least $50 and will probably cause more problems than solutions. With any enclosure I think you will have problems with IR reflecting off the inside of the dome, degrading your night capability. I would look for a camera designed for outdoor use...unfortunately all the ones I have seen are significantly more expensive than Foscam. I have had mine outdoors without any enclosure but mounted under a roof and well shielded from the rain for a year or so. No problems at all. I live in the tropics, so very high humidity, bugs, and high temps are the norm. No problems at all so far. I also note the Foscam web site has a newer 9821E model that has higher resolution and POE, but I haven't seen it yet for sale on Amazon.

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.

You may check 3rd party vendor for a water resistance housing. Apparently for Sony, we don't have any water resistance housing for this camera. -Ely

No it is not - water or moisture would damage the camera as there is a micro USB connection port on the side. Almost all water-proof cameras will advertise a "water proof" feature if it is included.
