Do surveillance cameras work in extreme weather conditions?

Yes, outdoor surveillance cameras are specifically designed to endure a range of weather conditions, from rain and snow to extreme heat or cold. When selecting a camera, it’s essential to consider the camera's Ingress Protection (IP) rating—an industry standard that rates the camera's ability to withstand dust and water.
