ACTi B412 3MP Zoom Bullet Camera

ACTi B412 3MP Zoom Bullet Camera

Overview

The B412 is a 3MP zoom bullet built for outdoor perimeter surveillance where you need to cover large areas without deploying multiple fixed cameras. The 4.7–47mm (10x optical zoom) lens lets you frame wide scenes or punch in on specific zones—parking lots, facility perimeters, and access gates benefit from this flexibility. IP66 (dust and water jet resistant) and IK10 (vandal-resistant to 40J impacts) ratings mean it survives harsh outdoor climates without additional protective housings. Operating temperature range of –40°C to 60°C handles extreme seasonal swings common in Northern or desert installations.

Key Specifications & Deployment Benefits

• 3MP progressive-scan CMOS sensor: Delivers 2048×1536 at 30 fps, enough resolution to read license plates or badge details at moderate distances without burning storage on overkill megapixel counts.
• Extreme WDR 145dB: Balances backlit scenes (sun-facing entry door plus shadowed building face) in a single frame—critical for perimeter gates where glare and shadow compete.
• Minimum illumination 0.003 lux (color, F1.6); IR LED 60m adaptive range (940nm invisible): 24/7 monochrome coverage in near-total darkness without external lighting. 940nm is invisible to human eye, reducing nuisance from IR glow in low-light areas.
• H.265 / H.264 / MJPEG adaptive streaming: H.265 cuts bitrate 40–50% versus H.264 at equivalent quality—meaningful savings on 24/7 multi-camera recording across wide outdoor perimeters.
• PoE++ (802.3bt) power delivery: Draws sufficient current for motorized zoom and IR LED without separate power supply; fits standard enterprise PoE infrastructure.
• ONVIF Profile S, G, T, M compliance: Integrates with Milestone, Axis Camera Station, and third-party VMS platforms without proprietary middleware.
• Built-in microphone, audio line-in/out: Two-way audio or event-triggered sound logging for access control points or delivery zones.
• Analytics (VMD, People Counting, Smoke Detection): Edge-based video motion detection and people counting reduce false alarms and unnecessary storage writes.

Mounting & Integration

Supports wall, ceiling, pole, and rack mounting via board mount lens attachment. Compatible with standard surveillance infrastructure requiring ONVIF compliance. Manual or automatic zoom operation via Visca, Pelco-D, Pelco-P, or ACTi URL commands—integrates with legacy PTZ control systems or modern HTTP-based management.

When to Consider Alternatives

If your scene requires fixed, single focal length (no zoom), a fixed 4MP or 5MP bullet will cost less and eliminate zoom motor complexity. If you need 4K resolution for license-plate capture at 100+ meters, step up to a higher-megapixel zoom variant. If subject-level recognition in pitch darkness is essential without IR bloom, evaluate thermal (uncooled or cooled) models instead.
