ACTi Q75 20MP Outdoor Multi-Imager Panoramic Dome
Overview
The ACTi Q75 is a 20MP outdoor panoramic dome built for large-area surveillance where a single camera must cover parking lots, loading docks, campus perimeters, or facility exteriors. The panoramic multi-imager design means you get 180-degree horizontal field of view from 4 fixed f5.5mm/F1.8 lenses working together—this translates to fewer cameras needed to cover the same ground, cutting installation labor and network overhead. The Q75 solves the bandwidth and storage problem with dual H.265/H.264 codec support; H.265 cuts file size roughly in half compared to H.264 on equivalent scenes, a real factor when running 24/7 recording across multiple outdoor domes.
Durability and Environmental Performance
IP66 rating means complete protection from dust and direct rain—no moisture ingress on the lens or electronics. IK10 impact rating handles significant mechanical stress, critical for high-risk perimeter zones where vandalism or accidental strike is a concern. WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) balances exposure across bright and dark areas at the same time—think sun-blasted parking lot entrance next to a shaded building face—without the halo artifacts that confuse analytics. Integrated IR illumination extends into zero-light scenarios for unmanned 24/7 monitoring without requiring separate external lights. These features combine to eliminate the need for supplemental infrastructure in harsh outdoor conditions.
Power and Integration
Operates on PoE (802.3af), High PoE, DC 24V, or AC 24V. Standard PoE power simplifies cabling—no dedicated power runs needed on PoE-equipped infrastructure. The multiple power options provide flexibility for retrofit or new-build scenarios. Audio input is included for two-way communication or event-triggered alerts in high-security deployments. Day/Night operation via adaptive IR means seamless transition from color to monochrome as ambient light drops, maintaining usable forensic detail around the clock.
Compatibility
The Q75 integrates with any standard network video management system supporting ONVIF Profile S and H.265/H.264 codecs. Works with enterprise VMS platforms, open-standards NVRs, and cloud-based recording services. Panoramic multi-imager architecture requires VMS that can handle multi-lens image stitching and panoramic playback—confirm your VMS vendor supports this specific topology before deployment.
