The camera's waterproof and dustproof rating is IP65, that is, it completely prevents dust from entering and can withstand low-pressure spray (water) at any angle. Therefore, the camera can function properly outdoors when it's rainy or snowy. However, some extreme weather may cause damage to the camera. Of course, if the camera is installed under the eaves or in a place where it is blocked, the camera can be protected to some extent.
