ACTi B85 2MP Outdoor Zoom Dome Camera
Overview
The ACTi B85 is a 2MP outdoor zoom dome built for fixed surveillance where field-of-view flexibility matters without the complexity of PTZ mechanics. The 3x optical zoom (3.0–9mm lens) lets you adjust framing from wide-angle perimeter coverage to tighter detail shots without image degradation—important when you need to reframe coverage without re-mounting. IP67 weatherproofing and IK10 impact resistance handle direct rain, dust, and 20-joule vandal strikes typical of outdoor retail, parking, and industrial dock environments. The B85 pairs this durability with onboard intelligence: VMD, People Counting, and Smoke Detection run at the edge, cutting bandwidth overhead and server load in multi-camera deployments.
Compatibility
The B85 is a standalone outdoor dome camera, not an accessory. It integrates with any ONVIF-compliant VMS (Milestone, AXIS Camera Station, Genetec, or proprietary platforms) via its single RJ-45 Ethernet port. PoE+ (802.3at, Class 3) power delivery means no separate supply lines—any modern PoE+ switch supplies power and data over one cable. Two-way audio (line-in, line-out) connects to external speakers or intercoms for site-wide alerting or ambient monitoring. Pelco-D, Pelco-P, Visca, and ACTi URL command protocols support legacy PTZ control systems if needed, even though the B85 is a fixed zoom (not a motorized PTZ).
Installation Notes
Operating range of −40°C to 50°C ensures year-round deployment without de-rating. Weight of 2.85 kg (2.846 lb) is light enough for wall, pole, pendant, corner, and rack mounts—verify the mounting bracket or pole can handle the load and wind loading at your site. The board-mount lens is fixed; focus is manual only. IR LED array (10x 850nm LEDs) reaches 40 meters in darkness; brightness adjusts automatically based on scene. Electronic shutter spans 1/5–1/2000 second (manual) or 1/5–1/10000 second (auto) to prevent blooming in bright sunlight or IR wash-out. H.264 Main profile and MJPEG compression support bit rates from 28 Kbps to 6 Mbps—tune codec and resolution for your network and storage capacity.
