How waterproof/resistant is the Primos Truth Cam 46? Does it work well in cold weather(I live at 10,000 ft)?

Well sealed and no moisture issues. Warm early season, so I can't help on cold issue. Although battery life maybe an issue in extreme cold

It has worked fine in the cold and I'm in North Idaho. Battery life is reduced, but that would be the case for anything that uses batteries. As far as water resistance goes, I've tried to keep it sheltered so I can't tell you.

sorry i cant help you here, its been dry here since i had the camera up, and it has yet to get too cold here yet

I have had no issues with water as far as cold my lowest temp to date has been 30 degrees but the camera has performed very well since I have had it about 2 months
1740948
I have not had any problem so far with weather, lots of rain, and has been below 32 but I have read where others had water problems on the door seal but was told drying it and if frozen warming it up took care of that. my first set of batteries went bad so i removed it put in new with a new card, and just wiped it down then it was back out and in business. I am still very satisfied with mine, I live in lower Michigan. I hope this helps.Oh also I heard if water is an issue the mount allows you to go higher and tilt on an angle that also is supposed to work if water becomes an issue.

I'm @ 1200ft works great no problems so far, have friend who spent a couple hundred And he is impressed with the pictures and distance

My Primos 46 has survived some heavy rain showers without allowing any water inside. I haven't tested one in cold weather, but we are getting some freezing temps now in GA and I should soon know how they do. I am using 10 trail cameras for security around my property.

Being in NYS, this camera just survived Sandy's furry and lived with no issues. so i can attest to its water resistance. As for battery life in cold temps, unless you find a game camera that is insulated, or figure out a way to rig it up yourself, theyre all going to be about the same. that's not really up to the camera. more up to the batteries that you use in it.

I live in the Houston, TX area so I can't comment on how well it holds up to cold but mine have been through a lot of rain with no problem. gary

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.

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.

I live in WA and had this deployed both in the driveway for rainy weeks and in the woods. I do believe this will be effective in WA for the long run. This is by far the best camera I've purchased in the price range!EDIT: This camera went on sale today for $96 so I bought 3 more.

I have had it for a bit more than a year now. The camera works great still. However, it wasnt all that great in the winter in Northern NY. This is mostly due to the construction of the rear of my car. There is a nice shelf below the licence plate for the snow to pile up on. Anytime more than 6" fell, the camera would become immersed in snow. After removing the snow, the camera didnt have a good picture for 30 mins or so. The finish hasnt seemed to fade anywhere except where I snugged up on the bolts. If you never move the bolts, you wouldnt notice it.

I had one that is dual camera (recording front and rear) mounted for over a year with the cold and hot weather/temperature. It still works fine, just remember to get Samsung water, x-ray proof SD card to withstand those temperature. Hope this help.

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 I believe it is and it comes in a blackout housing as well and they are both waterproof. Here's a tip you can shut of fish eye @ the camera by setting it to 1080p medium. With all the changes and accessories we just might as well wait for the Hero 10+ black. See a pattern here. That's how gopro get's rich release little by little with features and upgrades and new parts as they go. In 5 years we'll have 40 gopro's and gobroke. How bout zoom gopro.

The camera itself isn't. But it comes with a rubber case, which makes it good to go in the rain. But you still can't submerge it.I sold my Tachyon to a friend and bought a $299 GoPro. In its case it's waterproof down to 141'.

I have not dived deep with it yet. However the waterproof case appears quite capable. I did drop the camera in some deep mud once without the case. I immediately took the battery out and held my breath for a day while it dried out. Water had gotten in pretty deep yet it survived. Either I was lucky or the camera can take a little moisture. I also own the SJ1000 and the two are very similar in their cases, apparent innards, menu system, and mounts. The mounts that come with these are good for nearly any situation but of course this greatly depends on the application for which you will use it. There is no window suction cup so if you intend it for a dash cam you will have to get one separately. If you intend it for a helmet there are straps that should suffice. I mount mine on a bike sometimes and found that the accessories are not designed to wrap handlebars very well, but with all the odd attachments I found a way to make it work. The quality is very good. There is a small bit of grain if the settings are not on full quality. Of course if you expect do any post production image stabilization then that will crop down a bit. Carrying the camera by hand will make for a bumpy, dizzy video, no matter how stable your hand is. I have a monopod which I often attach mine too. Carrying the monopod naturally has a stabilizing effect. If you want an accessory I would recommend a telescoping action cam pole. That way you can extend it out in front of you for those great panoramic selfies, or lift it up above a crowd for a bit of an aerial view.

The camera is water proof. I have used one for my work in harsh environments for some time now, and it is an excellent camera. Due to this, I bought one for my son.

The camera is not weather proof. However, if you can protect it from driving rain through judicious placement such as on a covered porch or under protected eaves, it will do just fine. I have five Foscam cameras and two have been outside for two years. They work flawlessly. They have endured extremes of temperature from below zero to nearly 100 degrees as well as high humidity in the form of fog.

the specs on the camera are waterproof to 18m/59ft, shock proof to 2m/2.2ft., freeze proof to -10*c/14*f. i only use it while snorkeling, so i cannot give a first hand review of its capabilities while diving with it. for snorkeling, it works great! any deeper than that i imagine you would need a bigger flash to capture any color. i also have to make sure to change the settings to underwater before taking the camera in the water.

I bought it for my husband who is a Pile Driver in Alaska. He loves it. He said you still need to keep it in your pocket or close to your body for warmth but you will be able to take pictures for about 10-15 minutes before it freezes up, then just put it under your arm to warm it up. A normal camera will not last a minute in the Arctic. If this camera can pass the Foul Wet Weather Arctic Pile Driver test I am sure it will work fine in the snow and mountains.

I have a security metal box that locks that the camera fits in, brought separately. attached to a tree with long screws. I have not had my X-8 in cold weather yet (32deg or belowthat) But my other Bushnell perform even when it was 0. Batteries need to be changed monthly in that case. Rain has not been an issue. Good pictures all around. I paid 109.00 for the X-8 and it is performing as well as the Bushnell Trophy cameras that cost twice that, takes good pictures every day.

I have had it hanging in the woods for about three years almost straight, it has survived all the rain, snow and bad weather that Colorado can throw at it. I won't say waterproof because I am not the one who makes the camera but mine has survived all the water it has been through and still takes great pictures. I highly recomend

pretty sure you need a case to submerge the cam. It is water resistant - like snowboarding or motorcycling in a light shower - both of which I have done with mine. But that's prob about as far as I would go.
