Ideal for domestic and small business use. This camera is easy to install and can be wall or ceiling mounted. We would recommend at least a 500mA power supply. If you are unsure which is the right power supply for your proposed installation or you would like some help dont hesitate to contact us

At first glance it looks OK apart from the fixed lens and the "Waterproof rating: IP55". Also I would expect the camera to work at 0 lux with IR on but if you have any street lighting or other light sources it should be ok
IP 55 is not waterproof and the fixed lens could be fine but it would depend on the area ir's going to cover and where you are going to site it

Thanks Jnealon the fixed lens is okay as its just covering an open area as regards the IP55 the location is outside but under a first floor balcony so no chance of rain getting near it and the climate is mild.There is also some street lighting around to help.
