Can the dome cameras be used outside?

I've been using one in a large warehouse and I noticed that it did fog up once on a damp night. The domes are best used in areas that are within people's reach, their angle can't be adjusted without taking the dome off which requires an allen wrench. Thus, you don't have to worry about people moving them.

Haven't tried. Probably yes but need to sheltered and calk around the base. But the bullet is better, outdoor unit, cheaper, and less problem with light refracting off the dome at night.

Yes, if under an overhang or something. Cannot be directly exposed to rain.

not made for outdoors. Use this dome located here @ http://www.amazon.com/Encloser-Loftek-Wansview-Surveillance-Security/dp/B005XU7OL0. This will protect your camera

Yes, youbcan use this outdoors. Just to help with weather-proofing, I put a small piece of plastic mounted right above the camera "tube".

No. These are great indoor cameras (I have 5 of them) but they aren't suited for outdoor use. I use the Foscam outdoor camera for that and it works great. Agasio makes a good outdoor camera that has the same pan

No! Not weather proof. READ their manual: Although the cameras are water resistant they are not waterproof. Cameras are intended for use in direct exposure to water, rain or snow. http://www.svat.com/downloads/manuals/CV301-8CH-008-manual.pdf

These cameras look very similar to the ones that I purchased with my B/W system. In which case they do not have the PTZ(Pan/Tilt/Zoom) capability. There are plenty other compatible ones that support PTZ but beware, you will pay a premium for this ability. And t oanswer your second question, yes they can be set up for outdoor use.

Yes. These cameras have a hole on the bottom where you can screw a tripod's head piece into; this camera can be placed onto a tripod or hand held as they are very small and come with an adjustable strap. It's very useful for an outside shoot. I just placed mine on the tripod with no issue.

I have all four cameras posted outside, although all are under eaves, and they work fine. There is the ability to zoom in on the images once they are captured on the dvr.

I would NOT use this outdoors. That being said most cameras rated for outside use and dvr's have motion detection recording as an option. Furthermore, something that has an IR system will not matter if your light comes on or not. Also, keep in mind, if you put a camera too close to a light you may actually degrade the quality of the image you are trying to record as all of that light close to the camera will throw off the image that is darker.

I don't think so, but I've never used it outside. I use it for my home photo studio.

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.

Absolutely!! Thats exactly what its mainly used for.. I would buy a waterproof case for it so the snow wont damage it although its partially waterproof.. these cameras are very durable without lacking any quality.

Yes, you can use the camera for outdoor. We do not have extra mount for this type of camera. Thanks, Best Regards,

Yes, this cable can be used outdoors. As long as your cameras are weatherproof then you can run this outdoors I have some of this wire and I put it under the siding on my home so it's not really exposed to much weather but it can still be used outside. I don't think it should be exposed directly to sunlight though. I do recommend to run it in conduit if it's going to be directly exposed outside to protect from criminals with wire cutters and the weather in general since it's pretty thin. I just ran mine under the siding under my home so if you have siding that's a good place to hide and protect the wire. Yes, this cable can be used outdoors.

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.

If you put the camera in your window facing outside (like mine is) you can use it to capture outside activity, this camera is not weather-proofed and is to be used inside only!

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.
