My company uses ZEDs now, and we are planning to use their new models which are weatherproof, and they currently seem to be the only inexpensive option for outdoor sensing that works out of box. And we don't like them: need your own GPU (at least they support Jetson & co.), not enough SW flexibility, USB-only connection limits the cable length. Longer-term, we plan to use our own software with either a pair of conventional machine vision cameras, or, preferably, find some ready-made assembly of a pair of cameras + SoC with full user programmability since we like to be in control of our perception algorithms.
