ACTi Q22-K1 2MP Outdoor Micro Box Camera
Overview
The Q22-K1 is a 2MP outdoor micro box camera designed for deployments where compact, unobtrusive surveillance is required alongside weatherproof operation. The micro box form factor fits installation scenarios where traditional bullet or turret housings create visual or structural obstacles — think retail storefronts, transportation hubs, perimeter walls, and mixed-use facilities where camera visibility matters. Built-in microphone enables audio verification alongside video, supporting two-way communication workflows in access control and incident response scenarios. WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) technology manages mixed lighting — backlit doorways, sun-facing walls, shadow transitions — without the halo artifacts or loss of detail that plague standard HDR. This matters in outdoor daylight scenes where a single auto-exposure can blind you to either the bright sky or the shaded entry below.
Compatibility
The Q22-K1 integrates into standard IP-based video management systems via ONVIF protocol support and ACTi-native management software. It operates on PoE power, reducing installation complexity for locations already running PoE infrastructure. Network integration with existing ACTi camera deployments streamlines multi-site management and centralized viewing. Confirm PoE switch availability before deployment — the micro box draws power directly from the network, eliminating the need for separate power runs.
Installation Notes
Weatherproofing is factory-sealed; do not disassemble housing or drill additional mounting holes after deployment without re-sealing. The compact dimensions allow wall, ceiling, and pole mounting, but verify structural load capacity beforehand — mounting substrate must support sustained weight and wind loading. Ensure PoE injection point is within 300 feet of the camera to maintain adequate power delivery; longer distances may require midspan injectors. Audio cable termination (if two-way mic is deployed) requires strain relief and weatherproof connectors at the termination point.
