Outdoor camera is very water resistant

Lost camera on August 3rd to the winds of TD Debbi when a sail shade broke loose and knocked it off the magnetic mount and into the canal.  While washing down the boat yesterday on the 16th of august after a fishing trip I saw the camera floating in the canal which is salt water.  I did nit have high hopes but when I picked it up I noted it had activity lights so I rinsed it in fresh water because at this point it would not hurt it more.  Opened it and saw zero signs of water intrusion and its now back in its spot and reconnected just fine.  13 days floating in saltwater did not seem to hurt it at all.   Got lucky it drifted back at the right moment I was outside.

Hi @hparkdavis, 

I'm happy to hear that you're safe after the tropical storm! The Outdoor Camera was designed to be weather resistant, so its great to know that it's still functioning!
