What are the best features to look for in an outdoor CCTV camera housing to ensure maximum protection and durability?

Great question! When I was setting up my own outdoor CCTV system, I found that a few key features made all the difference. Definitely go for IP66 or higher weatherproof ratings, especially if you're in a rainy or dusty area. Vandal-proof housings (like IK10-rated) are a must if the camera is within reach. Also, make sure the material is corrosion-resistant — aluminum or stainless steel works well. And don’t forget about built-in temperature control (heaters or fans) if you're in an area with extreme weather.

It’s worth investing in solid housing — it protects your gear and saves you headaches down the line!
