Is It Too Cold Out for Your Outdoor Security Cameras?

Ever wondered about the operating range of your outdoor security cameras? We’re going to go over what you can expect from LaView cameras in light of the recent extreme temperatures across the country.

Last week, it was estimated that roughly ¾ of the country’s population would be dealing with sub-freezing temperatures.

This is an almost unheard of coldsnap that adversely impacts people’s day-to-day lives as well as their safety.

People have had to bundle up, take extra precautions when traveling and go through exhausting measures to maintain the safety and accessibility of their homes.

With all that on their minds, should people have to worry about the state of their outdoor security cameras?

With snow falling in bundles, sleet pelting everything in sight and rain freezing on contact with surfaces, we’re left wondering how people’s surveillance cameras fare against inclement and dangerous weather.

We can only speak for our units, but if the people in our northern states choose LaView, they won’t have to worry about the reliability of their outdoor security cameras.

Our IP-rated weatherproof standards on our security solutions guarantee you top-tier coverage regardless of the weather conditions.

IP-Rated  Weatherproof Outdoor Security Cameras

Our outdoor security cameras are designed to stand up to any environmental conditions. Whether we’re talking about extreme cold, excessive heat, rain, snow or dirt and dust kicked up by heavy winds, our weatherproofing standards keep the inner mechanisms of the cameras safe.

The IP rating of a camera is represented in two numbers.

The first number is on a scale of 1-7 and represents the camera’s level of protection in relation to solid particles.

This is particularly important to consider when you think of the intrusion of dirt or dust, especially in windy areas.

A rating of 1 means the unit is not protected. A rating of 7 means it is completely dust-tight and will not be harmed by even the smallest of particles.

Typically, you want a rating of at least 5 or higher in this category to ensure the safety and functionality of your outdoor security cameras.

Protection Against Liquids for Outdoor Security Cameras

The second digit in an IP rating represents a camera’s protection against the ingress of water as well as other liquids.

This is likely the most important part of the rating if you live in a region where you get a lot of precipitation.

This is on a scale of 1-9. A rating of 1 means the unit has no protection against liquids. Conversely, a rating of 9 means the device can be submerged and come under prolonged liquid pressure without being compromised.

Ratings above 7 in this category are extremely rare for outdoor security cameras. Your higher end units will have between a 5 and 7 rating in this category. That means they are protected from low pressure jets of liquid to high pressure jets of liquid. This is more than sufficient for a surveillance camera.

Surveillance Protection in Any Climate

As we think about the recent wave of cold weather, our minds often go to the rain and snowfall.

Beyond the weatherproofing against small solid particles and liquids, the cameras are also protected against extreme temperatures. They function in extreme cold as well as extreme heat.

Our outdoor security cameras function in sub-freezing temperatures with our top-performing units guaranteeing full functionality in as low as -22°F.

In the Midwest, even if temperatures approached record-breaking lows, our cameras would stay up and running at all times. This is just one less thing for users in extreme weather to worry about!

On the other end of the spectrum, many of our IP cameras function in extreme heat up to 140°F.

The record high temperature in the United States is 134°F. That was in Death Valley over 100 years ago. Though its scorching, if temperatures even approach record range, LaView cameras will have you covered!
