I have had two located outside for over a year, one protected and one exposed to the weather. Both are still working fine. this is in PA where we get both rain and snow.The only time I ever had a problem was when I mounted one upside down and the rain did get in.  Dried it out and it started to work again and I am still using it.

GMBAL4: No problem :) I have a wired cam on mine. Cam is over 8 years, pan & tilt Not quite a year. One bit of advice "Don't try to run it after or during a Ice Storm, you could burn out the unit!" Wait for the ice to melt of it first! ;) :D ;D

Tuicemen; Oh  frozen gears?
Try:  Solid shell of ice coating the outside of the unit!  You might as well just glue all the moving parts of the case together.  :)
(Please don't try this at home!)   ;D

Maybe someone could invent a defrosting heater for them.  ;)

Why not?  They have them for CCTV cameras and satellite dishes.
