    Can i place an ipcam outside? Hardware question..

    Stupid question but im about to give it a try so please stop me..

    i still have one of those sitecom $150 wirless ip cams left and found the perfect spot outside my residence..

    If id tape up the unit making it water-proof (it wont be in direct contact with rain etc anyway) by taping it up would it last outside?

    or are temperature swings and environment moist fatal and unstobbable for inhouse equiment?

      Best solution would be to get a cam box they are only like 25 bucks. I have a few on my property with cams like in the horse barn. They work great.

              no shit? you have any 4 cam multiplxer vcr's ? if so ICQ me a price.

              I need one for viewing tapes at our store. we can tape and view on our vcr but need to be able to switch to viewing one of the boxes and hear sound.

                      Done he fixed a few things and I made other suggestions ... he paid the bill and haven't heard from him since.

                      Thanks for the hookup
