Has anyone made it through a hot Texas-like summer with the cam still working when it's been in the Texas heat and sun and high car temps?

I'm in Florida. If concerned about the heat, just remove the camera from the car when not driving.

Temperatures in cars are A LOT hotter than outside temps. If the outside temp is 90°F { 30°C } then the temp inside your car is much higher {105°F / 40°C } etc. The cameras can fail after those temps for any real length of time. They aren't supposed to be in cold temps {36°F / 2°C} for any length of time either. The camera gets warm under general use and gets very hot in those high temps. Also, depending on your car, you aren't supposed to run your a/c or headlights when something is plugged into your adapter socket./

I've been using it for 8 month now. The camera is great. Survived in 100F - 120F daily last 2 month.

Mine has held up so far through after almost four months of late summer T-storms and fall rains. For only $15 I wouldn't complain if it was dead in the morning having only lasted a few months, you get what you pay for. DO NOT buy the little chrome dome-shaped camera on Amazon, it will get condensation on the inside and be useless very quickly.

we operate in quite warm conditions - up to 108 degrees during the summer months. 8 of the 10 cameras we run are doing ok, although two of the units have now developed a rather fogged image. I'm not sure if it is heat related, but that would be my guess. Under any conditions the mini SD cards are very hot when you remove them from the camera. This has not appeared to have an effect yet on the cards however.

I am considering purchasing this camera. All the reviews have been helpful. I have noticed no-one has commented on the outside temperature. The below 0 and the -25 below I think would be a problem even if mounted under an eve or overhang. If any one has any experience with this fact I would appreciate their input. Also any comments on a window mount. Thank you in advance for your input.

I have not had this camera long enough to know how temperature resistant this camera is to warmer temperature. I live in the US, and right now it is winter. I can say in temperatures that are just below freezing sometimes the camera thinks it loses it's GPS signal. Shortly after that it read or write to the SD card. It then shouts at you because it loses it's sound volume settings saying the GPS signal is gone and it has SD card errors. I usually just wait a few minutes for the car to warm up before plugging it into power. Other than that I do not have any temperature problems. Or any other problems for that matter. Just below freezing temperatures. But once you get used to the camera it's not really a problem.

I live in the desert of southern California where the temperatures can reach 120 degrees or more. I had no problems with my cameras being left in the car or being carried around in a pocket during the heat of the day.

I've only had it up for about 5 months and it has withstood high altitude, glaring sunlight day in, day out with no problems at all. Add to that snow, hail, nights of near zero and a few sub-zero temps and the film still looks good. I'm pleased so far but couldn't tell you how it will fare during the summer months - my guess is it will hold up well.

Well since its an inside camera. It can't handle NO direct rain, as well as bitter cold, there is no telling what the life will be of the camera. Humidity to temp fluctuations will greatly impact the operation. Inside or outside the IR requires a lot of light changes to switch from day to night. I have one in my garage with windows and can only use the schedule IR otherwise the IR stays on all of the time.

I've only had a short time but very happy with camera. The weather has not played a roll in anything.

I have this camera and have used it outdoors, on my front deck, exclusively. It is semi covered from the elements. From rain, sleet, snow, temps at or around 10°, and high winds, it works fine. The only problem I have had is with the wireless features on occasion. I decided to go with ethernet due to the random loss of connection wirelessly. Otherwise, it works great.

The camera i have it hooked to is an indoor camera, with that said,I installed the camera on a tree outside with a make shift good over the to of it about 2 months ago. It has been performing well and we've had some heavy thunderstorms come thru these last couple months.

I haven't had any problem, and I've used the camera in Alaska and ST. Thomas on very bright days indeed.

Our camera is still working beautifully; I have not heard whether others have had issues. Good luck!

The cameras have performed well at temperatures into the low teens and single digits. But, during my use of them, they haven't been challenged by temperatures that low. My guess is that there would be no problem, but that's just a guess.

The answers is yes, when it works. It's a horrible cam and it no longer works. I strongly do NOT recommend waisting $$ on this cam
