IP code tells you whether a device is dustproof and/or waterproof. Only our OAK PoE devices have an IP rating, current version of USB devices do not have an IP rating.
OAK4
All OAK4 camera models are designed to meet IP67 ingress protection requirements in accordance with IEC 60529:2013. OAK-4-CS is rated IP67 when used with the Lens Hood; otherwise, it is rated IP65.Testing Summary
Rating Achieved: IP67 (dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water)
Devices were fully submerged in their normal service position
Immersion depth: 1 meter
Duration: 30 minutes Units were non-operational and connected with a test cable during testing
Results
No water ingress was observed inside the enclosure
Devices maintained normal functionality after testing
This certification ensures the OAK4 devices are suitable for use in demanding environments where exposure to dust and temporary water immersion may occur. The IP certification along with other environmental documentation can be found in the store under Technical Specifications.

PoE cameras
Series 1 PoE devices (OAK-D PoE and OAK-1 PoE), OAK-D ToF, and OAK Thermal are shipped with an IP67 rated enclosure. It means that the device is protected from total dust ingress and that it's protected from water immersion between 15 centimeters and 1 meter in depth.OAK-D S2 PoE (and all its variants, so -W, -Pro, and -Pro-W) have IP65 rated enclosure.PoE enclosures have gaskets which makes them waterproof/dustproof:
Internal testing
Here's our testing setup for the enclosures used in our R&D process. The drum, filled with water, has a height of 1 meter. We conducted extended testing on these two enclosures.
USB cameras
In 2024 we started shipping an USB with screw-locking mechanism (shop link) along with several of our cameras; OAK-D-W, OAK-D Pro, and OAK-D Pro W.This cable is water-proof, and provides IP66 protection to the cameras. If you wish to have OAK-D-S2 with IP66 protection, you can order this cable separately, as by default it ships with a standard USB cable (non-waterproof).
USB IP certification
For testing and certification we are using a 3rd party certified laboratory. The certificate for the Series 2 USB cameras is available here.The photos and video below were captured during the water resistance certification process.
