ACTi B916 2MP Outdoor Speed Dome PTZ Camera

The B916 is a 2MP outdoor speed dome PTZ engineered for expansive surveillance scenes where zoom capability, environmental durability, and low-light performance are non-negotiable. The 4.7–94 mm lens delivers 20x optical zoom plus 16x digital zoom — critical when you need to move from wide-angle perimeter coverage to readable facial or license-plate detail without dispatching a second camera.

Overview

Built for harsh outdoor environments, the B916 carries IP67 rating (full dust protection, submersion to 1 meter) and IK10 impact resistance — suitable for high-traffic, vandalism-prone, or weather-exposed locations. Extreme low-light capability—0.002 lux minimum illumination plus IR (700–1100nm)—ensures continuous operation through fog, dusk, and near-total darkness without image degradation. WDR processing handles mixed lighting (sun-blasted perimeter + shaded overhang) by recovering detail across 145dB dynamic range, eliminating blown-out or crushed blacks in the same frame. The compact dome form factor supports wall, pole, pendant, corner, and rack mounting, scaling to diverse site layouts.

Pan-tilt precision spans 360° endless pan (±0.265° accuracy), −20° to 200° tilt (±0.149° accuracy), and preset speeds to 720°/second — responsive enough for event-triggered tracking or manual operator control. Dual H.264 and MJPEG compression enables bitrate tuning per scene: H.264 for high-quality 24/7 recording, MJPEG for motion-triggered or bandwidth-constrained links. Maximum frame rate at 2MP reaches 60 fps, sustaining smooth motion in high-traffic zones.

Compatibility

ONVIF compliance (Profile S, Profile G, Profile T, Profile Q, Profile M pending firmware upgrade) integrates with third-party VMS platforms, recording systems, and management software from major vendors. PTZ control via VISCA, Pelco-D, Pelco-P, and ACTi URL commands works with standard camera management interfaces. 256 preset points and 10 preset tours support complex monitoring workflows. Integrated analytics—Video Motion Detection (VMD) and People Counting—deliver actionable alerts without external processing boxes.

Installation Notes

Power delivery via PoE+ (802.3at, 45W High PoE) or AC 24V eliminates dedicated power runs in many installations. Single 10/100 Base-T Ethernet (RJ-45 pigtail connector) integrates into standard network infrastructure. Operating range spans −52°C to 60°C (−61.6°F to 140°F) on AC 24V, or −40°C to 60°C on High PoE — specify power mode for extreme cold climates. Audio input (2-way, mic-in, line-in, line-out) supports two-way voice at the camera or remote monitoring stations. Weight 2605g (5.74 lb) requires robust mounting hardware; confirm pole or wall anchoring capacity before installation.
