Description
ACTi Z972 5MP Indoor Mini PTZ Camera
Overview
The Z972 is a 5MP indoor mini PTZ camera engineered for compact ceiling or wall mounting in retail, office, and facility environments where space and aesthetics matter. The 2.7–13.5mm motorized zoom lens provides 5x optical zoom, letting you frame wide corridors or tighten on details without camera repositioning. Built-in 850nm infrared LEDs with 120m working distance deliver usable monochrome surveillance in total darkness—essential for 24/7 monitoring across retail floors, back offices, and low-traffic zones. WDR processing rated at 145dB handles backlit scenes (sunlit doorways, bright windows against dark interiors) without washing out shadow detail. H.265 and H.264 compression reduce bandwidth and storage footprint while maintaining forensic-grade clarity. Deep Learning analytics (DLPU) enable smart intrusion protection, line crossing detection, and area intrusion triggers, reducing false motion alerts and letting you react to genuine threats.
Compatibility
The Z972 streams ONVIF Profile S, G, and T, integrating into standard VMS platforms (Milestone, Genetec, VMS software stacks) and edge recording systems without codec transcoding. Draws under 100W via PoE+ (802.3at), fitting standard enterprise network switches without dedicated power injection infrastructure. Two-way audio supports intercom workflows and event-triggered speaker notification. Pan range of 350° and motorized focus enable rapid operator control via PTZ joystick or API commands.
Installation Notes
Compact form factor (129mm diameter × 143.6mm height) fits standard 4-inch ceiling grid or flush wall mounts. Operating temperature range of −40°C to 70°C handles unheated storage rooms, attics, and temperature-swung retail environments without performance degradation. 24 configurable privacy masks allow masking of sensitive areas (cash registers, office windows, restrooms) at the edge, reducing storage overhead and privacy liability. UL Listed, CE, FCC certified for North American and EU deployment.
