are the cameras approved for all weather and to be exposed to rain ?

They are weather resistant and outdoor ready. Mine are doing great outside.

No. This is not an outdoor camera. It would probably survive humidity for a short time, but not direct exposure to weather.

Hi, As for protection for the camera, yes, as long as you have it all snapped up and covering the camera I would say it would do a good job of protecting from rain. If you were to turn a garden hose on it maybe not so much, there are openings where the two halves meet and where the camera straps have space to exit and flowing water could enter at those places. And keep in mind that this is a leather case and as such exposure to water isn't it's strongest suit. If you think rain/water will be a regular encounter you would be better off with some synthetic material but for the casual, unexpected encounter it is more than adequate. Hope this helps.

I have used them for outside, but put them in a birdhouse or some other container so they are not out in the elements. They are great little cameras.

The cameras are Weather proof meaning they can be mounted outside and are able to work on normal weather conditions such as rain, and sun. the camera cannot be submerge in water. They are not water proof. they are weather proof.

Andrea,I contacted the manufacturer directly, and they said it was their mistake to print that the camera was "suitable for the backyard." They refunded my money when I pointed out that error. I looked at the camera closely, and it is not sealed and has open vents that would allow water to enter directly enter the electronics of the camera. It wouldn't last very long in the open rain. I suppose if a person could put the camera in a sort of clear plastic box, it might work.Ken

They are rated for outdoor use, so yes they are water-proof. My are tucked up under the eaves of the house. It's a very good camera.

No the camera is not weather proof. It can be mounted outside however would have to be protected from moisture.

I agree with Brooklyn Dodgers answer. This is an indoor camera and I wouldn't recommend using it in the elements.

My understanding is that it is not: however, they do provide the water resistant case. I have not tried it when actually raining and did notice that the camera got hot when it was on. I'd recommend calling them directly if you can get through.

Memphis is humid in the summer, but I don't think it qualifies as sub-tropical. However, I think most modern dSLR cameras do well in a wide range of climates. I just wouldn't let it get rained on.

The Dropcam Pro is not designed for outdoor used -- i.e. it is not waterproof. However there are a few DIY/Hacks to build your own weather protected cases for it. Those are just a google away.

Yup I believe so. We have 3 cameras outside and we live in new York... This winter has been extreme and so far all 3 have withstanded the elements.

The cameras are already built for the outdoor so I believe it would be very hard for rain to get in. As far as heat is concerned I do not think that would be an issue since the electronics are already enclosed inside the built in unit.

It's an outdoor camera, but mine are mounted under the eaves. I can't attest to the weatherproof status of this unit if subjected to direct rain.
