We are wondering if this device is temperauture sensitive? For example, can it work in a refrigerator? Also, Can we charge it with a USB cable?

Hi, it has to be conected to AC Power all time, it doesn´t have rechargable bateries, and i dont think you can use it in a refrigeretor camera, but i am not really sure.

I don't think you can charge with a USB cable it has a large outlet plug. I am unsure about it working in a refrigerator but I would think so since I believe it can go outdoors. I wouldn't put it in a freezer

I have used both the indoor and outdoor versions of the camera and they should be fine in the refrigerator. Not sure what you mean by charge it with a USB cable. The cameras are powered either directly with an adapter provided with the camera or by using Power Over Ethernet which requires an Ethernet switch that powers POE devices.

i use it indoor,room tenperature only ,i don't know if it can work at low temperature. and it do not have batter and batter changer, it connect to his network cable and then work,easy and simple.i hope can help you,thank you!

1: Can't answer fridge question. My guess is No. 2: Camera derives "power" from HomePlug Powerline Adapter. No charging.

Im not certain about refrigerator temps, but it does not "charge." It gets it's power from power over Ethernet, you're gonna need an outlet to keep an eye on your dead bodies.

The issue comes down to what kind of startup load does a refrigerator compressor require. You aren't just starting the electronics, you are starting a motor. This type of device was not designed for that type of load. I would not try it for anything that requires that much initial current.

Our unit is in an air conditioned room kept at about 78 degrees. It keep a steady cold temp with no problems at a setting less than half way. If you were to put this in a hot garage, and set the temp setting colder, (like for your cold beer?), the unit would probably run most of the time. If the unit's size is Ok for you, it is worth giving a try, even if if lasts you a couple of years. We have a larger unit, an Amana 18ATM fridge-freezer combo in grey finish, in our garage here in Central Florida, and it has been doing well for 2 years now. Hope this helps.

It was advertised to perform the ability of running a home refrigerator. I have not tried it. However, it ran my AC, small fridge, outlets, and a small flat screen TV in our camper trailer while traveling. Do I think it will take care of your needs? yes!

The unit will display the max and min temps it will not record day and times. If you see the max temp on the freezer was 45deg and the present temp is 0 then the items in the freezer were refrozen. The same fill be true forthe fridge. This condition would probably happen during a power outage. Hope this helps.

I have had my unit plugged up to my 7 cubic foot unit for a couple of months now and have not had any issues. This unit simply turns off your freezer when it hits the temp you set it at. The freezer will kick back on within 2 to 3 degrees of what its set at. Very simple device that wont damage your freezer

I just tossed it all out and bought a new fridge....would have sent it to you had I known! It was plug and play but I had an existing place to plug it as this was bought as a replacement. I called the guy before I ordered it and when it arrived. He was very happy to answer all my questions. Good luck!

I can only tell you that it has been over 90 degrees in my house in the summer and it works fine. I don't have air conditioning in my house. But I don't know if it would work well for long periods in extremely hot conditions. All fridges work hard when it's hot. I don't think this one would be any different.

The STC-1000. For the price and functionality you absolutely can't go better. I have one controlling the temperature in my homebrew refrigerator and another for backup (the price was so cheap, I thought for sure it would burn out or stop working, but 1 year and it's still working perfectly). Mine only reads in celsius, but I have a chart right next to it that converts to F so I can easily adjust. It is digital and you can program very specifically the upper and lower ranges and read the current termperature at any time. The temperature probe is very small (compared to a manual knob type I have and paid much more for). It does require some wiring, so it's a little DIY, but there are videos on youtube that show pretty well how to do it. Be sure an watch those before you make your final decision to make sure you're up for a little wiring (I know nothing about electricity or wiring and was able to do it in 30 minutes or so)

I've mostly used it on USB, but from time to time it comes unplugged and I dont notice til days later that it's still running. I've never attempted to use it for 80 continuous hours, but I'd say it lives atleast 60 before it needs a charge.

Yes you can! All you have to do is plug in the device, put the probe into the freezer, soon to be fridge, and set it to the temp you want. We used a thermometer inside the fridge as well to ensure the temp is correct. The probe will probably hang on a shelf to the side unless you get something for it to rest on, but it works really well for our beer fridge.

This is not a refrigerator is all I can say. They do make 12v refrigerators which are costly but actually use about a third of the power this does. I would not recommend this for your application. Maybe for a vacation cabin for a weekend. Translate: if you never actually have to live with the setup.

Hi,This logger won't accept thermocouples. There is another one available that will. Here is a link - USB Temperature Measurement Module (You may have to cut and paste the link into your browser) If you have any additional questions please don't hesitate to ask.Ed LombardiMicroDAQ.com

I'm sorry dear, but I didn't purchase this fridge to experiment with it, I need it to keep my two insulins cool. Why would you need to turn it off? Are you transporting foods? Perhaps you should check out the DC switch and whether there is a transformer adapter you could use in the car. That's only a guess, since I use this for home use (A/C) only. I hope this helps you.

I put my PL-360 in the refrigerator for 5 minutes, and the temperature display showed 10 degrees cooler. So there must be an ambient temperature sensor inside the radio.

I put my unit on an extension cord and put it in my freezer to test it it worked just fine.The temperature is what makes it go on and off.I hope this helps you.

It has some limited protection for low voltage (brown outs), however if the the voltage goes below about 90 vac for over a few seconds, the unit will sound an alarm after disconnecting the AC which will protect your fridge in most cases. You will have to Hit the reset button on the RCA unit to continue normal operation if it does not return to normal on its own. I hope this helps. The RCA unit is about the best I have found for under $50.00
