Hello my friend Philip,Frankly speaking, I would not recommend you to install this downlight outside. As you can see, it is not waterproof , nor weather-proof.So pls kindly install it for indoor to maintain the downlight a long using lifespan and a good working condition.Any question, pls contact Lemonbest freely, as we're always here for your help.Nice day.Lemonbest

If it were installed under an eave our other location not exposed to direct weather, I don't see why the metal housing wouldn't hold up. The units are well constructed.

Due to weather elements and creatures outdoors. I wouldn't advise a permanent install. What I do is I have hooks setup inside and outside where I want it. On a clear warm day I take it outside hook it to the hooks with an extension cord for power. When I'm done I mount it back inside. All that's kept outside are the hooks where you hung the screen up.

Yes they can be mounted outside as long as they are covered and cannot get wet. Foscam also make a cam that is for the outside. It cost a little more but worth it.

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.

It can be installed inside or outside as long as you can run the electric cables to outside walls- Things to consider when installing outside are increase in cost to run electric line outside, security i.e. someone can take the unit from wall, is the length of cable on this unit sufficient to reach the car in garage etc. My dealer has this installed outside so that all customers can use it.

Yes, I have mine installed outside. It's a hard plastic shell with a metal bracket to attach to the wall. It's a very heavy duty system. Make sure to get the unit with the 1 inch outlets as it will not affect your water pressure at all. Overall I'm pleased with the units.

Mine is mounted outside but in a covered location. I'm not sure if it weatherproof but I suspect that Square D can answer that better than I.

Yes, I mounted mine on the outside, on the garage door frame, and have had no problems with it. I'm not sure what the manufacturer recommendations are on outside mounting but the unit would not be useful if not outside and easily accessible. I thought about keeping it out of any direct sun but I'm not sure how important that factor is. It mounts flush and when in the closed position is very snug.

It can be used outdoors as long as you protect it from direct exposure to rain, snow, etc. I have used one successfully outdoors mounted under the overhang on a house.

No. The inside unit is not built for the outside weather. You need he outside module for that.

Yes, I believe it is OK to use outside -I use mine outside. It comes with a plastic base that can be screwed onto any flat surface like a floor or a wall. After mounting, the antenna can be angled nearly any direction. It increased my reception from two bars to the maximum of five bars and it brought in several sites that were not previously visible.

Yes it is designed for outdoor installation. The base has three holes to attach it to a structure.

The manufacturer says no. Mine is on an external pipe but it is essentially sheltered from any rain. Works great, easy to install, but I wouldn't put it anywhere wet.

It surely can be mounted outside, I don't know about opening gates since I am using it to open a 12ft. shop door.

While the unit does work well, I would NOT use the item in an outdoor application. It is not designed for un sheltered environments.

It's just a guess, but if the fixture in which it is mounted protects it from direct contact with the elements, I would say it is plausible for use out doors.

Negative it is not designed for outdoor use! Unless you enclose it somehow so the weather can't get to it! Hope it helps!
