Generally, FinishLynx equipment is not rated suitable for permanent outdoor installation. Your power, start and data cabling may be installed in an outdoor environment if the appropriate quality of cable is used, but mounting hardware, computers, cameras and Ethernet hubs are not suitable for permanent outdoor installation. All computers, cameras, hubs and any other electrical devices must be sheltered from the rain. As long as sufficient shelter is provided and there is a clear field of view from the camera, FinishLynx equipment can still be operated in inclement weather. If the FinishLynx computer is being operated outdoors, consideration should be given to providing shelter from the sun as well as the rain.
Computer screens are very hard to see in direct sunlight.
