ACTi A713 5MP Outdoor Hemispheric Dome Camera

Overview

The A713 is a 5MP fixed hemispheric dome engineered for outdoor perimeter monitoring, loading dock surveillance, and wide-area coverage where you need 360° awareness in a compact form factor. The 1.1mm lens and hemispheric design deliver 197° horizontal and vertical coverage without blind spots or mounting complexity. IP66 and IK10 ratings mean rain, dust, and deliberate impact won't degrade performance—this camera tolerates high-pressure washdowns and direct strikes. WDR processing handles the extreme lighting swings typical of outdoor sites (bright sky against dark building face) without requiring separate lighting or camera repositioning.

Connectivity and Video Delivery

Draws power and network via single PoE+ (802.3at) Ethernet run—no separate DC supply or conduit needed. Supports H.265 adaptive stream (30 fps at 1920×1920 overview, 60 fps at 1408×1408 dewarped), H.264, and MJPEG, so you can optimize bitrate and storage based on your network budget and retention policy. ONVIF compliance (Profile S, G, T, M) ensures drop-in integration with any ONVIF-capable VMS, recorder, or edge analytics platform—no proprietary licensing or gateway appliances required.

Image and Environmental Performance

5MP sensor captures 2592×1944 pixels; minimum illumination of 0.01 lux (color) or full 0 lux with IR LED enables 24/7 operation. Integrated IR LEDs push 20m effective working distance—sufficient for 40–60 foot building facades and loading yard perimeters. Extreme WDR at 135dB corrects simultaneous bright/dark zones without the halo artifacts that plague simpler HDR implementations. Operating range of −30°C to 55°C with integrated heater means cold-climate or high-heat deployments remain stable year-round. Two-way audio (line-in, line-out) and motion detection (VMD) support basic alerting and two-way communication without external licenses.

Durability and Deployment

Compact 1.23 lb weight supports wall, pole, pendant, corner, and rack mounting—adapt to eaves, fence posts, or interior architectural features without custom brackets. IK10 vandal rating (20 joule impact) exceeds most outdoor threats. 3-year manufacturer warranty covers sensor and lens defects.
