That depends on where you are located. As an indoor camera it is rated for 41 to 104°F. So the carport is probably okay for Summer, but not so good for Winter. Exceeding this range probably won't kill it outright, but will probably shorten its life. Maybe you could hide it in a bird house and add some heating tape to keep it happy in the Winter? BTW, I just tested the camera using FTP. This gets me a permanent record of everything the motion detector detects. (Vs. the camera's memory buffer, which only stores the last triggered event). I like the result. The camera can be set to append a time stamp to the file names so it is easy to see the sequence. I wrote a short PHP script to display the JPEGs as thumbnails with links and nicely formatted time stamps. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
