ACTi Q93 1MP Indoor Mini Dome People Counting Camera

Overview

The ACTi Q93 is a compact 1MP indoor mini dome purpose-built for people counting and traffic flow analysis in retail, corporate, and facility management environments. The camera delivers 720p resolution at 30 fps via H.264 compression, holding bandwidth consumption down without sacrificing detection clarity in controlled indoor settings. Built-in people counting analytics transform raw video into actionable occupancy metrics—real-time foot traffic, capacity tracking, and peak-hour trending—eliminating the need for external processing hardware in single-location deployments. Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) handles mixed lighting (entrances with window glare, dim corridors) while Adaptive IR night vision ensures continuous counting accuracy around the clock. PoE (802.3af) power delivery simplifies installation by eliminating separate power runs. The discrete mini dome form factor fits ceiling and wall mounts without dominating aesthetics, making it suitable for retail storefronts, office lobbies, and facility interiors where appearance matters.

Compatibility

The Q93 integrates into standard IP surveillance networks via ONVIF-compatible video management systems that support H.264 streams and ONVIF metadata. It connects to any PoE-enabled network switch or injector delivering 802.3af power (minimum 13W budget per port). The camera outputs H.264 video and metadata-rich people counting data compatible with Milestone, Axis Camera Station, and other mainstream VMS platforms that ingest ONVIF Profile S feeds. Verify your VMS supports H.264 decoding and can subscribe to ONVIF motion/analytics events for real-time occupancy alerts.

Installation Notes

Mount the Q93 to ceiling or wall brackets using the built-in swivel mechanism. Ensure PoE injection point is within 328 feet (100m) of the camera using standard Cat5e or Cat6 cabling—no additional power supplies required. The fixed 2.55mm lens (f/2.2, 108.6° horizontal field of view) is pre-installed; do not attempt to adjust or replace the lens in the field. Verify mounting height and angle capture the target counting zone without obstruction. The camera supports microSDHC/microSDXC card insertion for local backup; optional SD cards are sold separately.
