ACTi B43 5MP Video Analytics Zoom Bullet Camera
Overview
The ACTi B43 is a 5MP outdoor bullet camera built for wide-area surveillance where you need both situational awareness and zoom capability without swapping lenses. The 30x motorized zoom (4.5–135mm focal range) lets operators pull detail from distant subjects—license plates, faces, perimeter activity—without a separate pan-tilt-zoom unit. IP66 dust and water protection plus IK10 impact resistance mean this camera survives harsh outdoor mounting (walls, poles, eaves) and resists vandalism attempts. WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) and integrated IR night vision enable 24/7 operation across variable light: backlighting, shadows, and complete darkness all handled in a single unit.
Compatibility
The B43 integrates into any ONVIF-compliant VMS (Video Management System) or NVR supporting H.265 and H.264 streams over IP. PoE (802.3af) power means standard gigabit switches and existing PoE injectors supply both data and power via a single Ethernet run—no separate DC12V supply required. Built-in analytics support motion detection, line crossing, and intrusion alerts natively on the camera; downstream VMS platforms consume these events via ONVIF or vendor-specific APIs. The B43 pairs with any network infrastructure that delivers 802.3af PoE and standard IP connectivity (no proprietary switching or gateway hardware needed).
Installation Notes
Mount the B43 on any structural surface rated for 6.35 lbs (camera weight). Use stainless-steel or corrosion-resistant fasteners in salt-spray or high-humidity environments to prevent degradation of the metal casing. The motorized focus and iris require stable power; ensure PoE supply is not shared with other high-draw devices on the same switch port or injector channel. Run Cat6A or better cabling for runs exceeding 100 meters to minimize voltage drop on the PoE line. Confirm your NVR or VMS supports H.265 decoding if you enable that codec; older systems may require H.264 fallback.
