Does the camera work under temperature -10 F?

I'm in Colorado, the recent month's low's have been in the negatives and haven't experienced any issues. It hasn't failed me in showing video when it's reached the negatives.

I live in California, not sure about -10. It has been through a little rain and is already less clear

We've seen -26 deg C, and the camera seems to be working, I've not had is for any rain storms yet. A couple of snow storms though.

Temperatures in cars are A LOT hotter than outside temps. If the outside temp is 90°F { 30°C } then the temp inside your car is much higher {105°F / 40°C } etc. The cameras can fail after those temps for any real length of time. They aren't supposed to be in cold temps {36°F / 2°C} for any length of time either. The camera gets warm under general use and gets very hot in those high temps. Also, depending on your car, you aren't supposed to run your a/c or headlights when something is plugged into your adapter socket./

Negative. This camera does not show thermals, it uses a weak infared light to film in the dark.

Depends on what you mean by cold. We have had some 15-20 degree lows here where I hunt this season. It didn't seem to affect it's performance. If you run alkaline batteries like I am, you will experience a significantly reduced battery life below freezing. However, that's par for the course with all cams.

Use a class 6 memory card. A class 10 card makes the camera have issues like videos not looping and corrupted videos. DO NOT use a class 10 memory card. The manual states this. Many people have had serious issues with class 10 cards from the camera not looping to the camera not recording. A class 6 card from a decent manufacturer is perfect, you don't need a class 10 and you shouldn't use one. The camera doesn't have "heating issues". In the summer an interior of a car can get very, very hot, this is bad for the lifespan of the camera, as the camera makes its own heat when in use. Temperatures in cars are A LOT hotter than outside temps. If the outside temp is 90F { 30C &lt;-- max external temp for operating the camera} then the temp inside your car is much higher {105F / 40C &lt;-- max. internal temp for operating the camera} etc. The cameras can fail after those temps for any real length of time. They aren't supposed to be in cold temps {36F / 2C} for any length of time either. The camera gets very warm under general use and gets very hot in those high temps. Also, depending on your car, you aren't supposed to run your A/C, headlights or rear defroster when something is plugged into your adapter socket.

I've left mine in full sun plenty of times. I live in Utah and it gets hot here. I had it installed during the last leg of the summer. It worked fine through the heat. But, once it got below 40 degrees, the camera started to malfunction. A lot worse now since it is averaging below freezing for the high here. It won't record when you turn it on. It shows the splash screen (startup image) but won't go into the video recording mode. I have to turn it off and on a lot to get it to record. Usually I have to wait for my window defroster to heat it up a little to get it to work now.

It worked in 30F weather today. The only reason it wouldn't work in really cold weather would be if the battery freezes.

We have one located outside in a covered porch w/o the use of the VueZone protective cover. Temperatures during the winter routinely dip into the 20s and we've never experienced a problem. VueZone claims the safe operating temps for their cameras are 14 -- 122 degrees Fahrenheit. You may have a bad unit.

I am not sure what the temperature specs are for the camera's other than the description says that they are weather proof. You might want to try looking at the company website for Q-See and contact them about the temperature range. Good luck.

I am considering purchasing this camera. All the reviews have been helpful. I have noticed no-one has commented on the outside temperature. The below 0 and the -25 below I think would be a problem even if mounted under an eve or overhang. If any one has any experience with this fact I would appreciate their input. Also any comments on a window mount. Thank you in advance for your input.

Hi Doug, yes it can be set to 10 degrees. Mine goes from zero to 40 degrees. I'm 100% happy with mine. Eric

Not that we know of. We live in NC, so we don't get below zero temps. But, it worked perfectly when we were down to 10 degrees.

The camera works great at temps above 0 it does fog up. I sprayed it with glass defogger spray it worked at -13f after I sprayed it.

This specific one, No. They do have a model that does, and you can immediately tell from the picture it will have two circular dark holes outside of the glass circle area. These cameras also DO work in sub-zero temperatures for a prolonged time. I've tested them out at -8.3 degrees F for 9 hours without any issues.

I am living in Southern California... Recently cam working fine above 100F outside. Dont know what was inside my car but it was deadly hot. It is good question 'cos my GPS do not work very well in this sort of heat.

Hi, last winter it got down to 10 below zero and it worked just fine no problems.
