Are these units suitable for outside use - ie are they weather protected?

The camera is really wonderful but not for outside. I put mine by the window to check outside and turn the infrared off because the light reflects in the window glass and the only thing you can see is the infrared light. The infrared is very good, you can see everything in the deep darkness but like I said before, not through the window glass. I have a lamp outside and with that light I can see my back patio and front door. The camera is so easy to set up. It works really good. I am very tempted to buy another couple of those cameras... boy, they are good!!!

I don't think they will hold up if they were to be placed outdoors. Mine are being used indoors.

Mine are outside under a covered deck so I can't attest to how they would hold up otherwise. That said some of the reviews on Amazon are from people who have installed them in unprotected outdoor areas with no problems. Yamaha states they are designed for use in exposed outdoor areas. For the price I would risk it. I truly believe they would be OK. Hope this helps. Carl

They're not designed for outdoor use, id be worried about damp air causing corrosion over time since they're not sealed. Could it work? Maybe in a dry climate, or in a very sheltered soffit.

Yes, I have had four units outside, sort of networked together, and they work fine. In fact, they work far better than the manufacturer claims. Mine have been in the rain, snow, ice, and sub-zero, and 110+ degree weather for about four years now without a problem. They work equally well regardless of the season. I put each of mine in little "bird house" type enclosure to keep the moisture off the electronics directly, yet allow good air flow through them. I'm sure that had a lot to do with the reliability. You can mount them anywhere you like as the signal will follow the terrain, pass thru house structures, even brick. Only metal, and perhaps large rocks, will impede the signal. My four units reach 90ft apiece, and are arranged like sprinklers in a rectangular pattern. They cover about 3 acres for my puppies to run. There are no issues at all with the overlapping signals, either between the units or for the puppies.

The only problem as I see it is getting secure electrical power to the unit that's mounted outdoors. Then how do you protect the unit from the elements? My answer to your question is probably "NO"! Perhaps this manufacturer makes an outdoor unit to fulfill your need. Good Luck!

Yes they are great for outdoor use. Had mine up through all the seasons including harsh winter

These are NOT a sealed unit.....The rain would more than likely either be amplified to the point it would bother you or to a point it shut the sound off. I wouldn't use them in the rain

They work very well outside. I have mine on my outdoor deck stairs and I live in a rainy enviornment. They are intact and no issues.

I've used mine outside for a year with no problem, and they're not even in an enclosure. They've worked beautifully, and we've had a tropical storm and a 5-inch rainstorm recently.

Yes, very weather proof. We have installed them on 5 outside laundry room doors. No problems in 3 years.

Totally. Ours are used outdoors to block off a certain walk way. However I wouldn't leave them out in the rain.

These speakers can be in the outdoors but I would not put them in areas that get direct rain or snow. They are perfect for covered patios etc.

I am sorry I can't help you with your question as mine are mounted inside a garage and not exposed directly to rain, snow, ice etc.

We do use them outside and they do fine but ours are under cover we have them in containers that have tops but you can see through them hope this helps

We use them for exterior with no problems. They are somewhat protected by our carport but are holding up fine

I have ours installed outside. They are under a covered patio and go into a protected portion of the ceiling. Have the installed for over a year and no issues.

I have 4 of them located outside. They are not actually for this purpose, but I have had mine installed for 2 years and no problems. Just make sure you locate them in a dry (rainproof) location. I have mine under the eaves of my house.
