I have not had any problem from cold weather. Most electronics love it cold and dry.
Every now and then the camera, router or modem will lock up and need to be power cycled. I put them all on a little power timer that will shut them off for an hour in the middle of the night. Now if they lock up it will be fixed that night.
If you don't have a static ip address you can set up a free dynamic DNS with dyndns.com the netcam and many linksys routers can be programmed for this. It's a little complicated to set up if you have never done one, but worth the trouble. With it you will be able to get back into the camera server for remote programming.
Metrocast charges a fortune for a static ip.
