Oh, ok. I can’t speak to electrical code on that, but if it were me, I wouldn’t worry about safety

If it’s not outdoor rated, you need to watch out for UV from sunlight and getting wet. If that keeps it out of the rain and sun, it still might have a shorter life

I personally would go for it, given that cameras are pretty cheap and what we see of the install is easy. I don’t think anyone could put a number on life expectancy so it’s a gamble vs cost of replacing or impact if it dies. I don’t know whether it’s good advice though
