If there are two numbers on IP rating, the first number shows the degree of protection against solid particles and the second indicates the level of protection against moisture stress.
Here are recommendations in this regard:
If you are looking for wireless surveillance cameras, go for an IP rating of 65-67. Cameras having an IP rating of 45 or less are suitable for indoor deployment. Similarly, an IP rating from 45 to 55 is suitable for outdoor/indoor only if you install cameras under a shelter.
