IP Camera Set Up on Covered Porch

Post by jlm »

I know the IP4M-1051B is listed as an "Indoor" camera, but is it weatherized enough to mount on a covered porch? I have an area that won't get wet. I'm in Florida though and wonder about humidity.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

There are people that use the little sister to the 1051 the 841 outdoors.. This one person used it in an area that I would have never installed the camera and they bragged about the 2 years they used it before it started to fail... For the cost 2 years is crazy to be honest and they had rain and snow.. I will admit I don't endorse it however I have also used one outdoors in area that is set 10' back on front and sides and back was walled so on 3 sides no water could get to it. However I live in Humid, rain and loads of snow area and I didn't leave it out once the weather got down to 20 degrees even though it was working fine I didn't want to take the chance..
Be Safe.
