Weather Proof Outdoor Security Cameras:

When people think of outdoor security cameras they are generally I’m thinking of weatherproof security  cameras. There is a way to determine how weatherproof your security camera is by following its IP rating. Some people may be looking for simple spray or rain protection where others who live by the sea are looking for corrosion resistant  security cameras. IP (or “Ingress Protection”) ratings are defined in international standard.
The numbers that follow IP each have a specific meaning. The first indicates the degree of protection (of people) from moving parts, as well as the protection of enclosed equipment from foreign bodies. The second defines the protection level that the enclosure enjoys from various forms of moisture (drips, sprays, submersion etc). The tables below should help make sense of it when ordering your outdoor Security camera.
The most common ratings for outdoor security cameras are these.
  • IP65 Enclosure – IP rated as “dust tight” and protected against water projected from a nozzle.
  • IP66 Enclosure – IP rated as “dust tight” and protected against heavy seas or powerful jets of water.
  • IP 67 Enclosures – IP rated as “dust tight” and protected against immersion. for 30 minutes at depths 150mm – 1000mm
  • IP 68 Enclosures – IP rated as “dust tight” and protected against complete, continuous submersion in water.
