Would this box also help protect the Primos Truth cam from the elements? I ask because one reviewer of the camera stated the rain ruined their camera.

I don't think the box is designed to protect from the elements, your camera itself should be safe in the elements with or without the box. the box is designed to protect your camera from thieves.

To a certain extent yes it will. However if you never clean out the box and the camera sits in it for the whole year it might not work for your next season. I clean mine out every few months. Especially after winter and before fall. I have 3 of these boxes and they work well.

The camera is weather proof on its own. The box is more just for security. I didn't read the post that stated rain ruined their camera but they either had a defect in the outter molded shell or didn't have it closed properly. I bought the box for security (I had my 1st camera stolen) and it is heavy duty and works great.

Ad states that this camera is weatherproof but not waterproof. I have mine located under the eves away from rain.

The camera was designed to be used on the outside of your vehicle. I live in Arizona, so there isn't much water here. My camera is mounted outside, and I use it for security rather than backing up as it was intended. There should be no problem.

I can't help you with this. my camera has always been & will be used only under dry conditions. Nothing in the Specs says that this model is waterproof. dust sealing against its sensor might be an official feature that is YET to be tested. you might want a leather half case to give it more grip. Presumingly, it is not sealed against waterfalls. Good luck

The camera is designed to be used in dry conditions.The instructions say to keep it away from moisture.If you buy this model, buy the case and dust cover.The camera isn't dust friendly.

The camera is not weather proof and should not be used as an outdoor camera. Sturdiness of the cameras in terms of `drop test' depends on the ground being dropped on and height. Pretty sturdy though.

The switch end of the camera has a removable waterproof cover, and the rest of the camera body is a sealed unit. So while it may not be waterproof, it IS rainproof.

we have a detached garage so what we did was we ran it down against the rain spout in a conduit then buried it under our pathway to the main house. We haven't had problems with those cameras, I think it was a flexible conduit. We do have other 2 of our 8 cameras out now, and q-see customer service sucks! (unrelated to the buried cord)

I have one installed on an open-air porch area, where the camera is protected from rain by an overhang. It seems fine there. It's worked down into single-digit cold this winter.

I wouldn't use it for that purpose, but it will keep water off the camera for a short while. If you get drenched, your camera will as well.

I wouldn't buy it. If it rains on it then it will fog up the camera and it will not work. Piece of junk.

From the look of the camera body, I thought it would withstand blowing rain OK. I was wrong. Mine is really not splashproof. Condensation would form on the inside of the plastic bubble after a good rain. I had to mount it under the eave. I will try it there and see. I do like the camera.

The contents will definitely be protected from rain. As for fit, I use it with my Canon Rebel with a Sigma 18-250 lens with no problem.

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

The case is similar to a wetsuit material. Because the flap is not watertight it would only help if you might get a little rained on. The bag, I don't really use. I keep the camera in a camera backpack in the case.

No the camera is not weather proof. It can be mounted outside however would have to be protected from moisture.
