Indoor vs Outdoor Camera Installation

Match the enclosure evidence to the installation.

IEC’s public description of IEC 60529 identifies it as the classification of degrees of protection provided by electrical enclosures. The public catalogue description is not the full paid standard or a test report for a camera.

Request evidence for the complete assembly

Ask for the exact enclosure, connectors, cable entries, orientation and installation instructions covered by a model-specific environmental test. Consider the site’s exposure and maintenance access.

Keep indoor cameras indoors

The DC5V indoor and bulb-style range on this site has no published outdoor ingress rating. Select the outdoor range for an outdoor enquiry, then request its model-specific test evidence rather than relying on a generic catalogue symbol.
