Whether we like it or not, there are disruptive factors, both virtual and real, in our environment, and their goal is to deprive us of peace and security, and in this way, they spare no effort, including causing financial damage to security and CCTV systems. To combat such factors, manufacturers of CCTV cameras or electronic accessories have set standards, of which IP and IK are the best known.
If you are in the category of so-called earphones, the body and parts under the IP68 standard are definitely the point of your aspirations. In CCTV systems, there is a standard called IK, which stands for Vandal Resistant Rating, which means the degree of resistance of the device to destructive and disruptive factors (such as throwing a hard object to break the camera and such examples). The number in front of this acronym indicates the degree of resistance to damage and includes a range from 0 to +10, and logically the higher the number, the higher the degree of resistance and vice versa.
IK0: Indicates that the CCTV camera is not resistant to any mechanical impact
IK1: Resistant to physical impact weighing 200 grams from a distance of seven and a half centimeters
IK2: Resistant to physical impact weighing 200 grams from a distance of ten centimeters
IK3: Resistant to physical impact weighing 200 grams from a distance of seventeen and a half centimeters
IK4: Resistant to physical impact weighing 200 grams from a distance of twenty-five centimeters
IK5: Resistant to physical impact weighing 200 grams from a distance of thirty-five centimeters
IK6: Resistant to physical impact weighing 500 g from a distance of 20 cm
IK7: Resistant to physical impact weighing 500 grams from a distance of forty centimeters
IK8: Resistant to physical impact with a weight of 1.7 kg from a distance of 29.5 cm
IK9: Resistant to physical impact weighing 5 kg from a distance of 20 cm
IK10: Resistant to physical impact weighing 5 kg from a distance of 40 cm
+ IK10: Resistant to physical impact weighing 10 kg from a distance of forty centimeters
