How waterproof is this? Could it be used under water?
1135427
I have used several of these and they are not waterproof at all. Once they get misty inside they take forever to dry out. My son has no problem with the one I installed for him because the mount is rather well encapsulated,but I don't think he has taken it through a car wash. The cameras I bought had had four vent holes in the back, so "water resistant" is probably what the "waterproof" specification the manufacturer refers to means. And, I can't close without mentioning that my experience was that these cameras tend to turn green and red into pink. That makes for very pretty landscapes, but no so much for color accuracy.

It's a good back up camera but I don't think its good for being submersed in water

It is waterproof but I don't think you could do that. I have contacted on the back of my truck and it's in a hidden place but gets a lot of water when it rains

Mine is submerged 3 times a week when I back my boat trailer in and I have had the camera 2 years with no problems...so I'd say yeah it's probably okay

i have not gotten mine wet and do not believe it is "waterproof". if tkaing it on a boat I would put it in a waterproof container.

Mounted it on the outside of a trailer. The case seems very water tight, but, I can't tell where the wire enters. So I caulked it to make sure. Do not think it is usable under water.

I would read the spec as I believe it says it can be underwater for so long. I have put my in the pool several times but did not keep it under water for to long.

It is not water proof nor is it meant necessarily for outside use... I have not used it outside. I also feel the dirt and dust that could get into it would be a problem. It would work outside, if you have a place to plug it in, I just don't think it will last outside. Also I'm just a consumer so...

It is waterproof for a few seconds but not for underwater activity. I used it take pool and beach photos. I also dropped it in a pool. However, if I submerged it for any length of time, say a minute or so, there would be some moisture in the case. I would Not submerge it for prolonged periods.

It's not waterproof. You could only use it outside if it was completely protected from the rain .

You could, but I would not use it in areas exposed to the elements. It may be fine, but it does not feel like it is made to be water proof.

It's not waterproof. It will survive a thin layer of water on the floor. It THINK it would survive 1 cm of standing water just by looking at it, but I'm not sure.

No it is not waterproof and I have not had much luck making it work as it described.Hope this helps

not sure, I wasn't planning to use it in the water. I bought the hand help float one instead. some people use a cut down ski pole- that would be waterproof

I would not use this outside unless it in an area that is protected from the weather. I doubt this would be water-tight and might fill with water if rained on.

I believe that the camera can be used under water, BUT it has to be in a waterproof case. I am not sure how this "feature" makes it different from any other camera, but that is my understanding

Yes it can be totally under water for as long as the battery works. We had no problems with it at all.

I would not call it waterproof. Mine has been camping in the rain and it survived quite well, but I would be wary of using it in really wet conditions.

I would say it's NOT waterproof, maybe water "resistant". It is sturdy and could probably be hosed off if needed though.
