ACTi Z810 8MP Outdoor Zoom Dome Camera
Overview
The ACTi Z810 is an 8MP outdoor dome designed for perimeter monitoring, industrial yards, and rooftop installations where you need both wide-area coverage and forensic zoom in a single camera. The 2.8–12 mm motorized lens (4.3x zoom) lets you frame wide overviews or pull detail on subjects of interest without repositioning hardware—critical when you're covering mixed-distance zones like loading docks, parking structure entrances, or building perimeters. The Z810 handles harsh outdoor conditions: IP67 rating means dust and water immersion (up to 1 meter, 30 minutes) won't compromise the optics, while the IK10 impact rating protects against severe mechanical stress during installation, service, or vandalism attempts. Built-in microphone adds situational audio for incident reconstruction. Advanced WDR processing preserves foreground detail even in high-contrast scenes (sun-blasted doors paired with shadowed entryways). Dual H.265/H.264 codec support cuts storage costs—H.265 compresses roughly 40–60% better than H.264 on 24/7 multicamera systems. IR night vision extends operation into complete darkness. PoE (802.3af) power eliminates the need for separate DC12V supplies, simplifying cabling and reducing infrastructure burden.
Compatibility
The Z810 is a standalone ONVIF-compliant network camera compatible with any major VMS platform that supports H.265/H.264 streaming over IP—including Milestone XProtect, Genetec Security Center, AXIS Camera Station, and generic ONVIF-capable NVR systems. Verify your NVR or VMS explicitly supports H.265 and the Z810's 8MP resolution before deployment; older systems may require H.264-only operation or demand higher bandwidth per stream. The camera integrates with standard PoE-powered network infrastructure: confirm your switch or injector delivers 802.3af (minimum 13W) on the port serving this camera. Microphone audio requires explicit audio input configuration on your VMS—not all systems route or store audio by default; check your platform's audio support before commissioning.
Installation Notes
Mount the Z810 to ceiling or wall surfaces rated for the camera's 2.2 lb weight plus mounting bracket. Run a single Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable to a PoE-enabled switch port; no separate power supply is required. Auto-focus calibration occurs during initial setup—ensure the lens has clear line-of-sight to your scene at installation height and zoom position before locking focus. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 60°C; verify ambient conditions do not exceed these limits in your deployment area. MicroSD card slot supports on-board backup recording; card capacity is not specified in the datasheet—consult the user manual for maximum supported card size.
