Outdoor CCTV Cameras

All the cameras on this page carry an IP66 weatherproof rating as a minimum, meaning they're sealed against dust and protected from powerful jets of water. They're built to keep working year-round in UK weather, from driving rain and frost to direct summer sun. Many models also carry an IK10 vandal-resistant rating, so they can withstand a heavy knock.

The basic rule is simple: you can use an outdoor CCTV camera indoors, but never an indoor camera outdoors. That's why outdoor-rated cameras are a good choice anywhere a standard indoor camera would struggle, such as garages, car washes, warehouses, dusty workshops and anywhere prone to damp or condensation. Our range includes IP PoE and HD-TVI analogue models from brands including Hikvision and HiLook, in turret, bullet, dome and PTZ styles.

Not sure how many outdoor cameras you need or where to position them? Our CCTV buyers guide includes a section on camera placement for homes and businesses.

When choosing an outdoor camera, check the night vision range on the product page against the distance you need to cover. Larger gardens and dark car parks need a camera with stronger IR or ColorVu lighting. For entrances and driveways where you want a visible deterrent, Smart Hybrid Light models switch on a white light when they detect a person or vehicle.

A weatherproof camera is only as good as its cable connections. If you're mounting under the eaves, you can usually feed the fly lead straight through into the loft, keeping the connections inside. On a brick wall, a junction box saves drilling a large hole and keeps the connections out of the rain.
