ACTi E616 5MP Indoor Dome Camera with 4.3x Zoom

ACTi E616 5MP Indoor Dome with 4.3x Zoom

Overview

The ACTi E616 is a 5MP indoor dome designed for mid-range facility surveillance—retail floors, office corridors, and administrative spaces where you need crisp daytime detail and reliable low-light coverage without oversizing the power budget. The 4.3x optical zoom enables field-of-view adjustment on a single camera, eliminating the need for multiple fixed lenses to cover the same footprint. WDR technology and integrated IR handle mixed and near-dark lighting scenarios typical of interior installations. PoE (802.3af) power delivery keeps installation simple: a single Ethernet run feeds both signal and power, reducing wall penetrations and conduit runs. The E616 integrates with standard IP surveillance platforms via ONVIF compliance.

Compatibility

The E616 is a standalone 5MP dome camera compatible with any NVR, video management software, or edge recorder that accepts ONVIF-compliant IP camera streams over standard Gigabit Ethernet. Confirm your VMS or NVR supports 5MP H.264/H.265 streams and PoE power delivery at 802.3af levels (minimum 13W available per port). The camera is not a replacement module for existing camera bodies—it is a complete self-contained unit requiring its own network port and PoE-capable switch or injector.

Installation Notes

Ceiling mounting is the primary deployment orientation for dome form factors. Verify your ceiling material and thickness before drilling; the E616's compact profile (approximately 7.8" × 7.9" × 7.1" packaged) suits standard drop-ceiling grids and solid surfaces. Ensure PoE switch or midspan injector is rated for continuous 802.3af draw; camera peak draw is under 13W. Plan network placement to minimize cable run length if IR performance is critical—long cable runs can introduce voltage sag on low-power PoE. ONVIF Profile S support guarantees interoperability; test stream resolution and frame rate with your VMS before full deployment to confirm buffer and storage assumptions.
