Axis 3224 LV camera

[DJohnson88 0]

I have an Axis 3224 lv camera. I know they are not outdoor rated. Wanted to know if anyone has bent that rule and how it has worked out for you?

Hi. With some good silicone work it can be made water proof 

the problem is going to be the dome axis has indoor outdoor spec domes ... yours is indoor so not UV protection and it will turn whitish yellow and restrict your lens view

The P3224-LV is IP52 rated, which means that it's dust-protected and tested with dripping water with the camera titled 15° from its normal position. If the camera is under an overhang, it should be fine. People have bodged Axis indoor cameras to work outdoors before, like the AXIS 207mw being fitted into outdoor light housings as seen here:

Do this at your own risk and I'm not responsible if your camera breaks months later because you tried to bend the rules
