QuestionCan I have this installed on the outside doors of my warehouse that I rent
Asked 2 years ago by AMP.
- Answer Hello AMP, Thank you for reaching out to us with your question. Yes, this can be installed outside and is rated for indoor and outdoor use. Although IP66 is weatherproof, the outside of the camera is still subject to frost, ice, and dew when out in the open air. We recommend you install under some sheltered location where possible but if this is not suitable for your location simply aiming the camera to look a little downward can stop moisture from settling on the camera lens. Please let us know how we may further assist you, Thank you. JV Swann Customer Support
