ACTi B415 2MP Zoom Bullet Camera

Overview

The B415 is a 2MP outdoor zoom bullet designed for perimeter security, traffic monitoring, and wide-area asset surveillance where optical reach matters more than raw megapixel count. The 20x optical zoom lens (4.7–94 mm) delivers usable detail across expansive coverage areas—critical when a single camera must cover parking lots, rooflines, or shipping yards without multiplying hardware costs. Extreme WDR (145 dB) handles backlit scenes and mixed lighting without the halo artifacts that plague cheaper cameras. Superior low-light performance (0.05 lux color, 0 lux with IR) combined with 27 adaptive 850nm IR LEDs providing 40m working distance means the B415 operates 24/7 without dedicated external lighting. The all-metal casing, IP67 dust/water ingress rating, and IK10 impact resistance suit corrosive or wet environments—NEMA 4X certification confirms suitability for industrial perimeter deployments. Powered via PoE+ (802.3at Class 3), the B415 requires no separate power runs; a single RJ-45 pigtail connector integrates into standard network infrastructure.

Compatibility

The B415 integrates with any ONVIF-compliant VMS platform supporting Profile S, Profile G, and Profile Q endpoints—this includes Milestone XProtect, Genetec Security Center, and vendor-neutral open-architecture systems. Pan/tilt/zoom control operates over Visca, Pelco-D, Pelco-P, and ACTi URL commands, allowing integration with legacy PTZ controllers or modern IP-based control layers. Simultaneous triple video streams enable bandwidth-optimized delivery to multiple clients (primary stream at full resolution, secondary streams at reduced bitrate for archival or remote preview). H.264 (Baseline/Main/High profile) and MJPEG compression ensure compatibility with edge storage (microSD via optional card slot) and centralized NVR systems. ONVIF compliance guarantees vendor-neutral interoperability; no proprietary software required.

Installation Notes

The B415 mounts via pole or rack accessories (sold separately). Operating range spans –40°C to +50°C, suitable for extreme climates but verify fan cooling if mounting in direct, unventilated sun. Manual GPS position setting supports geolocation tagging and multi-camera site mapping—configure via web interface or ONVIF client. Audio input (line-in and line-out) supports 2-way communication or environmental monitoring; terminate via standard 3.5mm connectors. Electronic shutter ranges 1/5 to 1/32000 second—manual or auto mode—enabling fine-grained exposure control in varying light. Horizontal resolution reaches 1450 TVL; field of view spans 62° wide (4.7 mm) to 2.8° narrow (94 mm).
