Well I haven't used it that much and it stops working when it's unplugged so there is a waterproof feature, you have to plug it in by removing the die Waterproof back cover as a webcam comes in handy, and don't rely on it more than online photography. I was really hoping it would work like I said but paid the price. I exchanged this item for a new car battery and the camera was in a new box when I received it.
