ACTi Z310 8MP Mini Bullet IP Camera
Overview
The ACTi Z310 is a compact 8MP mini bullet designed for installations where space constraints meet image clarity demands. The Z310 delivers 8MP resolution across a fixed 2.8mm lens (99° horizontal FOV), capturing sharp detail sufficient for facial and license-plate identification at moderate distances—a critical advantage in retail, municipal, and enterprise perimeter deployments where both discretion and forensic quality matter. Housing a 1/2.8" sensor, the Z310 achieves usable video in low-light conditions via built-in adaptive IR (850nm) and SLLS (Super Low Light Sensor) technology; WDR processing handles mixed-lighting scenes (bright entryways paired with shadowed loading docks) without the halo artifacts that plague basic tone mapping. H.265 and H.264 codec support lets you optimize bandwidth and storage independently—H.265 cuts file size roughly 40–50% compared to H.264 at equivalent quality, meaningful when recording 24/7 across dozens of compact cameras. The 1440p/30fps baseline ensures smooth playback without codec overhead. Rugged IP67 rating withstands dust ingress and direct rain spray, eliminating the need for additional weatherproof housings in semi-protected mounting scenarios (soffit, recessed eave, overhang). PoE (802.3af) power draws under 13W, avoiding power-budget strain on standard network switches while eliminating dedicated electrical runs.
Compatibility
The Z310 integrates with any ONVIF-compliant NVR, VMS, or hybrid recorder—Milestone, Genetec, Hikvision iVMS, Axis Camera Station, and other standard platforms recognize the Z310 without proprietary plug-ins or firmware patches. The built-in microphone (line-level mono audio input) pairs with systems supporting H.264/H.265 audio streams for incident verification and synchronized event logging. MicroSDHC/MicroSDXC card slot (on-camera local backup) supports edge recording if network connectivity drops, though primary retention should rely on centralized storage. PoE power compatibility is standard 802.3af; passive PoE injectors or PoE switches supply both data and power via a single Cat5e/Cat6 run.
Installation Notes
Mount the Z310 on wall, soffit, or pole-mounted brackets using standard M3 or M4 fasteners (torque specs not specified in available documentation—consult ACTi pre-sales engineering for exact requirements). The compact form factor (approximately 2.5 inches long × 1.5 inches diameter) fits tight soffits and corner mounts where full-size domes create visual clutter. Lens is factory-fixed at 2.8mm; field-of-view adjustment requires physical repositioning—no motorized zoom or focus motor to adjust remotely. DC12V auxiliary power is available as an alternative to PoE if local power is more convenient than network infrastructure. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (confirm extended cold/heat specs with ACTi if deployment exceeds these bounds).
