How to install Raspberry Pi outdoors?

Question

Electronics

I want to make control of turnstiles and barriers. Standard access control systems are not well suited for my non-standard task, so it seemed to me easier to program all the logic myself on the Raspberry Pi. It is necessary to communicate with the bar scanner via USB, blink the lights, give voice messages. Communication with the turnstile is quite simple: to let a person in, you need to press the input to zero for 100ms, after the passage is completed, the turnstile similarly signals confirmation at one of the outputs. Plus, you need to communicate with the server in the cloud via HTTPS, keep a local database, and process the logic. From a software point of view, everything seems to be simple and clear. I think I can write all this in Python in a few days.
But all this should work on the street, albeit at a positive temperature. There may be high humidity, rain. The turnstile can be installed next to the water. Tell me how to place it all so that it does not suffer from weather conditions. Probably there are some standard boxes for this, with waterproofing, maybe heated ... I have never encountered such problems, please tell me what to look for and where to dig. There may be some protection standards, abbreviations, etc...
I would be glad if you tell me more about any "pitfalls" that I may encounter. I am a programmer, and my ideas about modern electrics / electrics are at the level of a school radio circle.

Answer 1

Look for housings for electronic equipment with IP67 protection, for example
, look for hermetically sealed cable glands, etc.
