is this camera weather proof?

It is not weather proof. If you install it outside you have to make sure it is protected. When the temperature gets below 30 F or so the CCD has a little problem with noise. You will see lots of noise in the picture and the motion sensing will get triggered continuously.

I don't think they're advertised as weatherproof however I've had some installed outside under awnings and my porch roofs for a few months now in the Florida weather without a problem. That, of course, is no guarantee its just been my experience and I certainly wouldn't install one where it would get a direct hit from rain/snow.

Some say you can protect it, but with what? Keep in mind that the ir would be reflected on the glass/plastic canopy unless you don't need to see in the dark. Those that are weather proof usually have a cover already built in.

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.

I don't see anything in the description that indicates it's supposed to be indoor/ outdoor. I would not try to put this thing outside in the cold or in the rain.

Don't know but a few years back I installed an ancient Sony camera in an enclosure and mounted it on the side of our home. I also bought a (believe it or not) cheap plastic mount that swiveled the enclosure with a remote controlled little motor...worked great and the pictures which I copied onto my hard drive looked fine. I don't see any reason why this newer camera won't produce good pictures mounted inside of a weather proof enclosure.

That is recommended for all outdoor cameras to reduce hardware failures due to direct sunlight and condensation buildup with humid environments. If you put the camera in a shaded area that is moderately protected from direct rains and elements you should be fine. The camera is rated IP66: http://www.thecctvblog.com/what-is-ip66/ which means it is dust proof and water resistant to heavy seas and splashing. But humidity and extremes in temps can cause condensation which can harm the camera. ftp://ftp.wintel.fi/docs/Dahua/DH-IPC-HDB3200C.pdf

I agree with the other answer. Camera is ok, but cable set is not weatherproof.

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

Yes. This is an outdoor weather proof camera and a good value for the price

Not sure if the camera is waterproof, I think it will be best to get a camera made to work outside. They're cheap these days.

We got two of these. IMO it is the best bridge camera out there. It is weather sealed, and we've had no problem taking it out in a light drizzle; I wouldn't risk heavy rain or putting it under a waterfall...hope this helps. If you can, follow @brimarkphoto on twitter for more.

it is weather proof and works in freezing temperature very well. I would recommend this camera for use in cold weather climates with rain and snow

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.

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.

Technically speaking, it is not an outdoor camera. However, 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.

No unfortunately they cannot, there are a lot of weather proof survailance cameras on the market though

I would say yes, it appears to be waterproof. It is designed to operate outside the vehicle, and mine has been through rain a few times. A friend with the same camera has hers attached to the top of her vehicle. However, when the weather got close to freezing, I got lines across the screen instead of a picture -- the picture came back when the weather warmed up a little.

I do not recommend leaving the camera in the rain or near water-prone areas without protection (the enclosure is not waterproof). My camera is outdoors, but it is under a roof. You can put the camera into a CLEAR plastic container or inside a PVC pipe to protect it.

It is weather proof. Which means rain/snow proof as well as against fine dust in a desert environment.Only and only cameras designed especially for underwater photography are water proof. K10D was never meant to be for underwater photography. Having said that with special underwater housing designed for K10D (WHICH COULD BE AS EXPENSIVE AS THE CAMERA ITSELF), it can be used for underwater photography as well.

Loralai - no, it is not waterproof. I am quite happy with the camera, however.
