ACTi I98 2MP Video Analytics Outdoor Speed Dome
Overview
The ACTi I98 is a 2MP outdoor speed dome designed for wide-area surveillance deployments where pan-tilt-zoom capability and onboard video analytics are required. This dome form factor suits rooftop and wall-mounted applications in parking areas, perimeters, and mixed-use facilities where you need to track moving subjects across large zones without redeploying fixed cameras. The I98 integrates video analytics at the edge, reducing false alarms and lowering NVR processing load — a meaningful advantage in multi-camera systems where event filtering happens before storage.
Compatibility
The I98 works with any ONVIF-compliant video management system supporting standard IP camera streams and analytics metadata. Verify your NVR or VMS explicitly supports the I98's video codec output (check manufacturer documentation for H.264/H.265 codec support). ACTi cameras are compatible with ONVIF Profile S-compliant control systems; confirm your PTZ automation software supports ACTi command sets before integration. For edge storage, check microSD compatibility if your I98 supports local recording.
Installation Notes
The I98 mounts on standard outdoor dome brackets. Ensure your mounting structure supports the gross weight of 12.35 lb plus environmental loads (wind, ice). Run PoE power and network cabling to a weatherproof junction box or inline surge protector; confirm your PoE injector or switch supplies sufficient power budget for the I98's draw plus any heater/wiper current. Outdoor dome installations benefit from a grounding strap from the dome metal to building ground to prevent RF interference. Allow 30 minutes for lens calibration after first power-up if the unit includes motorized focus.
