ACTi PMAX-0202 Outdoor Camera Housing
Overview
The PMAX-0202 is an outdoor-rated protective housing built specifically for ACTi's ACM-5 and TCM-5 series cameras. If you're deploying an ACM-5 or TCM-5 body-style camera outside the controlled environment it was designed for, this housing is the piece that makes that possible — it wraps the camera in an IP66 enclosure so wind-driven rain and dust don't reach the electronics. Fits installs where the camera itself carries no outdoor rating on its own, such as perimeter runs, loading dock entries, or exterior wall positions on a commercial building.
Compatibility
Built specifically for ACTi's ACM-5 and TCM-5 camera series — check your exact model number against these two families before ordering, since ACTi housings are generally not interchangeable across series. The housing is not compatible with other ACTi camera lines (box, dome, or PTZ series outside ACM-5/TCM-5) or with other manufacturers' cameras.
Installation Notes
Requires a DC12V power source — confirm your camera's power setup can supply this before mounting, since the housing itself does not include a power supply. The white housing shell (IP66-rated) is intended for exterior wall or structure mounting; verify your mounting surface can support the packaged weight of roughly 2.8 lb before installation. Pair this with a compatible mounting bracket if your install location requires standoff or pole mounting rather than direct wall fixing.
The PMAX-0202 carries a 3-Year Warranty, which matters here since outdoor housings take the brunt of UV and moisture exposure over years of service — a housing failure defeats the purpose of protecting the camera inside it. When planning a broader exterior camera deployment, review a outdoor IP cameras buying guide alongside your camera mounts and housings options, and check ACTi's full ACTi camera lineup for ACM-5/TCM-5 stock. For sites running multiple exterior units, a PoE planning guide helps confirm power budget across the run before you're stuck retrofitting.
