ACTi B915-K1 3MP Video Analytics Outdoor Speed Dome PTZ

Overview

The B915-K1 is a 3MP outdoor PTZ camera engineered for wide-area surveillance in harsh environments. The 36x optical zoom (4.6–165.6 mm) delivers both expansive overviews and tight detail capture—critical when you need to track subjects across parking lots, perimeter zones, or shipping yards without burning storage on redundant wide-angle feeds. IP66 weatherproofing and IK10 impact resistance handle rain, dust, and vandalism; the metal casing resists corrosion for approximately 10 years in seashore conditions. WDR at 145 dB eliminates overexposed sky and shadow crush in mixed-light scenes. IR LED illumination reaches 150 meters in total darkness (0.003 lux minimum color sensitivity), enabling night-shift monitoring without supplemental lighting. Embedded VMD and People Counting analytics trigger real-time alerts and reduce false motion events—important when dealing with busy outdoor traffic and weather-driven noise.

Compatibility

The B915-K1 integrates with any ONVIF-compliant VMS platform—including Milestone, Genetec, Axis Camera Station, and third-party systems supporting Profile S, Profile G, Profile T, and Profile M. Pan/tilt/zoom control via VISCA, Pelco-D, Pelco-P, and ACTi URL commands ensures compatibility with legacy PTZ control systems and modern IP-based command interfaces. Single RJ-45 Ethernet connection simplifies integration into standard IP security networks. Two-way audio (line-in and line-out) pairs with most enterprise VMS platforms for alarm notification and remote two-way communication.

Installation Notes

The B915-K1 supports wall, pole, pendant, and corner mounting without custom brackets. Power flexibility—PoE (802.3af) for low-draw setups, or AC 24V and High PoE 75W for maximum performance—accommodates various site infrastructure. Operating range –40°C to 55°C (–40°F to 131°F) covers extreme cold and heat; confirm local NEMA 4X enclosure requirements for coastal or industrial salt spray exposure. 3-year manufacturer warranty covers defects; extended warranty available through ACTi support.
