If you plan to install a security light with CCTV camera/system outside your home or business, remember to check its IP rating. The rating indicates whether the device can withstand harsh weather conditions such as rain, snow, and humidity.
Most security lights with built-in CCTV recorders and cameras offer IP43/IP44 weatherproof rating, which can protect the device from sprays of water and cables.
However, for areas expected to have severe rain or snow, you may want to consider an IP65/IP66 security camera instead. These cameras are built to be more durable and rugged for outdoor use. You can learn more about IP ratings here.
