What does an IP55 Camera Rating mean?

An IP55 rating means that the unit has a protection level of ‘5’ against solid-body ingress, and a protection level of ‘5’ against the ingress of water. Five is the second-highest protection level against sold bodies, meaning the cameras are protected against dust ingress to the point of disallowing harmful deposits. Protection against water ingress goes up to level ‘8’, and a ‘5’ means these units will protect your camera against the effects of low-presssure jets of water from any direction.
