ACTi E816 10MP Outdoor Dome Camera with 4.3x Zoom

Overview

The ACTi E816 is a 10MP outdoor dome camera built for retail storefronts, office lobbies, and perimeter monitoring where you need fine forensic detail in a weather-resistant form factor. The E816 combines high-resolution imaging with adaptive low-light performance and a 4.3x zoom lens that balances wide situational awareness with the ability to frame specific areas without deploying multiple cameras. The compact dome housing discourages lens obstruction and provides protection against environmental interference—critical for high-traffic or exposed locations.

Key Specifications

Resolution and Optics: 10MP sensor delivers forensic-quality detail across wide coverage areas. The 4.3x zoom lens eliminates the need for multiple fixed-angle cameras in many retail and office deployments, letting you frame customer activity zones or perimeter segments with a single unit.

Low-Light and Dynamic Range: WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) processing preserves visibility in mixed lighting—bright windows paired with dim interior zones, or sun-washed entry doors next to shadowed corridors. IR and Day/Night modes enable seamless operation across lighting transitions without manual intervention. The camera adapts automatically from daylight to darkness, eliminating image quality loss at dusk and dawn.

Outdoor Protection: The dome form factor protects optics from weather, dust, and deliberate tampering. This design is standard in retail, hospitality, and corporate perimeter environments where vandal resistance and aesthetic integration matter.

Networking: PoE (Power over Ethernet) simplifies installation—single cable for power and data eliminates the need for separate power supplies. The E816 integrates with ONVIF-compliant video management systems and NVR platforms, allowing seamless integration into existing security infrastructure with standard IP networking protocols.

Typical Deployments

• Retail storefronts monitoring customer activity and merchandise zones
• Office lobbies capturing visitor identification with high-resolution framing
• Outdoor perimeters requiring weather-resistant, tamper-resistant coverage
• Hospitality environments (entrances, common areas) where aesthetic form factor and durability balance
