It has two meanings:
1) To catch someone telling a lie, by tricking them into lying to you when you know the truth.
"I think my boyfriend is cheating on me. He said he was on a business trip, but someone saw him with a girl in a fancy restaurant. I'm going to try to catch him out"
2) To be unprepared, in a bad situation that you should probably have prepared for. This is always 'caught out'
"The hillwalkers were caught out by the sudden blizzard"
The second version often occurs in warnings as the form "Don't be caught out":
"Don't be caught out by power cuts. Make sure you have a torch and spare batteries."
"Don't be caught out - flu vaccinations are now available at your pharmacy"
"Don't be caught out - buy insurance"
I think the last example is the most common. It doesn't occur much in American English though.

We use it in Australia: I caught him out cheating on the exam. I saw him pretending to pick up a pencil but he was really looking at an answer sheet he had taken into the room.
