I'm guessing this camera works well indoors, even though its advertised as outdoor - correct?

I've got approximately 20 of these in mixed environments and they work equally well in both indoor and outdoor setups.

I honestly have not tried this camera inside the home. My guess is if the lighting inside the house is not bright enough you may get the night vision effect when viewing which is in black and white (no color).

They will work great indoors, just make sure you have the 22 gauge wire and a power supply with enough amperage.

Some reviewers say it is not good indoors in artificial light. I find the quality picture indoors superior to videos taken outdoors. Very pleased with how it operates in indoor lighting.

Technically speaking, this is not an outdoor camera. However, contrary to what others may tell you or you may read, it can be placed outside if you mount it where it will not be exposed to direct or wind driven rain. Three of my six FI8918W cameras have been mounted outside for three years and they continue to function flawlessly. They have been exposed to extremes of temperature from below zero to nearly 100F as well as the high humidity of fog. They're doing just fine. Mount your camera on a covered porch, carport, or under a protected eave and it will be OK. Also, try mounting it upside down with a six inch diameter piece of rubber sheeting (available at Home Depot in the plumbing section) sandwiched between the base of the camera and the mount. The rubber will act as a drip shield.

My cameras are outdoor color, the equipment works well. I hope this helps you.

Yes. The company also has great customer service. I have been having a problem with indoor camera and they have been very helpful in correcting it. We finally could not correct it and they replaced camera.

Indoors or out. It is hermetically sealed which makes service impossible. I don't recommend this camera at all. Mine has failed completely, and it is the second replacement

Since it is an indoor camera, I would say it would be OK as long as it is not subjected to rain, moisture condensation, and/or extreme temperatures. Also, it should be mounted in a spot with good air ventilation; otherwise, heat built-up from the camera LED lights could damage the camera or may cause fire (read and follow the camera instruction manual)

The camera is for indoor use only. It has an setting to indicate whether the picture is an outdoor or indoor view to compensate for the lighting.

As others have already stated, this is not an outdoor rated camera. Having said that, I have 2 outdoors one in Texas and the other in Colorado. They are protected by being mounted under porches. I am VERY surprised at how well they have worked ... even at temperatures below zero. My only real complaint is the colors are not very good. The greens of trees are showing as browns and reds. Blue of skies is good. If pointing thru a windows, you will need to turn off the infrared. If infrared is on, it reflects on the glass making it useless.All in all, for the price, these are great cameras! As others have already stated, this is not an outdoor rated camera.

Good question never tried it I don't think it would work well because the distance is not to good I would just go for the indoor/outdoor camera about the same price

I've used a total of 10 Foscam FI8910W cameras over the past year or so. I tried to install a few of the cameras outside with little to no luck. They work perfectly indoors and I can highly recommend the camera. However, I would think twice about using them for outdoor use. I live in WI and the wind and freezing temperatures did not agree with the cameras. More temperate conditions may yield other results.

Yes, and that's why I chose it over several other models. Most of my photos are outdoors.

Outside it's excellent. Indoors......it depends. What is the ISO number that you or the camera has set ? Remember a higher number will give you a faster shutter speed. Also with all reviews / questions answered I look at the date they were posted. Back in 2013 when these were 1st answered I was using a 60D, & at higher ISO ranges like 2500 / 3200 I got much noise. But now with a 70D, there isn't that problem, In fact, by reading reviews here on Amazon & elsewhere that's one of the big advantages of that camera. So for me using this lens in lower light be it indoor or outdoor in an evening situation, big difference. Outside it's excellent. Indoors......it depends.

I would say yes as long as it stays dry...but rather than take the chance of hot humid and cold winter, get the outdoor camera so it is under warranty. By using indoor cam for outside might negate warranty...but yes it will work but not sure for how long?

Yes, for all practical purposes the camera is for real. Look at the reviews. They are reflective of the camera. Sometimes people have a bone to pick about certain products.
