It lasts for an few hours at most. So connecting it outside is just about impossible unless you live in a really dry area where you could plug it in to an outside outlet. The AC adapter that comes with it is certainly not weather proof. If you are looking purely for an indoor camera to monitor a room (baby, kids, etc. ), this would work OK. I suppose it would work OK to monitor your pool or something like that outside if you could plug it in someplace away from weather and water. I purchased two cameras wanting to monitor my front door and driveway. I have one aimed through a window near my front door. This works fine during the day, but at night the "night vision" reflects off the glass so I get no image. The other I was able to rig looking through a bedroom window towards my driveway, which is a well lit outside area. This one works pretty well even at night, but it doesn't cover my front door, which is what I really wanted. I had to move this second camera a good distance from the window so the night vision wouldn't reflect back. I do think the manufacturer is being very deceptive when they call this an "Outdoor Surveillance Camera". Sure, it will work outside with a 9 volt battery, but you would need to change the battery every few hours, which is not at all practice. If you are good with electronics you might be able to rig this some way to actually work outside.

I've got better things to do(like clean the toilet or watch grass grow) than play "security guard" at my abode.

Too bad the picture is staticky, the sound is horrible, and the battery life majorly SUCKS! I am very unhappy with this item. It is so frustrating when the picture is staticky and jumpy and the image comes in and out even if you are in the very next room. BIG thumbs down!! Im going to order the baby safe digital video monitor from HOme Sentry instead. I hope i have better luck with it. I'll post a review if i do. . . .
