ACTi CNVR-30D-C-2MP-12 Cloud NVR Recording Service
Overview
The ACTi CNVR-30D-C-2MP-12 is a cloud-hosted NVR service delivering continuous recording for 2MP camera channels — part of the ACTi Cloud Services family. Rather than investing in on-premise NVR hardware, this service offloads recording infrastructure to ACTi's cloud platform, which can reduce upfront capital expenditure and eliminate local storage maintenance for deployments where remote accessibility and managed infrastructure are priorities.
The CNVR-30D-C-2MP-12 (often searched as CNVR 30D C 2MP 12) is positioned for integrators evaluating hosted video storage as an alternative to traditional appliance-based network video recorders. The 2MP tier aligns with 1080p camera channels, covering the most widely deployed resolution class in commercial security.
Key Features
- Continuous Cloud Recording: The service runs continuous recording rather than motion-triggered clips only — meaning you retain full timeline footage, which matters for forensic review when incidents occur between motion events.
- 2MP Channel Tier: Scoped for 2MP (1080p) camera inputs — the most common resolution in commercial access corridors, retail floors, and perimeter coverage. Matching the service tier to camera resolution avoids overpaying for unused bandwidth headroom.
- Cloud-Hosted Infrastructure: Eliminates the need for on-premise NVR appliances, UPS units, and local drive replacement cycles. Suitable for distributed sites where deploying and maintaining hardware at each location adds operational cost.
- ACTi Cloud Services Platform: Operates within ACTi's managed cloud ecosystem, which is designed to integrate with compatible ACTi IP cameras for a cohesive provisioning and management workflow.
Integration and Compatibility
This service is part of ACTi's Cloud Services product family and is designed to pair with ACTi-compatible 2MP IP cameras. Before purchasing, confirm camera compatibility with ACTi's current cloud platform requirements — firmware versions and onboarding procedures vary by camera model. For guidance on selecting between cloud and on-premise recording, consider retention period requirements, bandwidth constraints at each site, and whether local redundancy is a compliance requirement for your deployment.
Note: This SKU is sourced from the US distribution channel. Verify current platform availability and subscription terms directly with ACTi, as cloud service offerings may be subject to regional and platform-version constraints not reflected in distributor listings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the CNVR-30D-C-2MP-12 include — is this a hardware device or a subscription service?
A: The CNVR-30D-C-2MP-12 is a cloud NVR service for continuous recording of 2MP camera channels. It is not a physical appliance. It is part of ACTi's Cloud Services family and delivers hosted recording infrastructure.
Q: What camera resolution does this service tier support?
A: This service tier is designated for 2MP (1080p) camera channels. Confirm with ACTi which specific camera models are supported on the current cloud platform version.
Q: Is the CNVR-30D-C-2MP-12 available to order?
A: Distributor data shows this SKU with a current status. Contact for real-time availability and lead time confirmation before committing to a project schedule.
Q: Does this service work with non-ACTi cameras?
A: The available evidence does not confirm third-party camera compatibility. ACTi Cloud Services are designed around ACTi's own camera ecosystem. Verify compatibility requirements with ACTi before specifying non-ACTi endpoints.
Q: What is the warranty or support term for this cloud service?
A: No warranty or subscription term duration is specified in the available evidence. Contact ACTi directly for current service agreement terms.
The CNVR-30D-C-2MP-12 sits in a product category that trips up a lot of integrators at spec time: it is a cloud recording service, not an appliance — and that distinction changes your project BOM, your site network requirements, and your ongoing cost model entirely. The 2MP channel designation tells you the bandwidth and storage tier ACTi engineered this service around, but the real spec to nail down before quoting is upstream bandwidth at each site and the platform's retention window for that tier.
Technical Highlights:
- Continuous Recording Model: Unlike motion-only cloud plans, continuous recording means full timeline retention — relevant when you need to reconstruct an event that triggered no motion alert.
- 2MP Channel Alignment: Scoped to 1080p inputs, which covers the majority of deployed commercial cameras. Avoid uptiering to a higher-resolution service plan unless your cameras actually deliver above 2MP — you will pay for bandwidth headroom you cannot use.
- Cloud Services Family: Part of ACTi's managed platform, which centralizes provisioning across distributed sites — a real operational advantage when you are managing dozens of locations without local IT staff at each.
Deployment Considerations:
- Cloud recording is only as reliable as the uplink at each site. Before committing this service to a project, audit each site's upload bandwidth and QoS policy — a saturated WAN link will drop frames regardless of the cloud platform's capabilities.
- This SKU's distributor record shows zero quantity available. Confirm current platform availability and active subscription enrollment status with ACTi before including it in a project proposal — cloud service SKUs can be retired or restructured without the kind of EOL notice hardware products receive.
The CNVR-30D-C-2MP-12 is the right conversation-starter for multi-site retail or light commercial deployments where the customer wants to eliminate NVR hardware at branch locations — but it requires an honest uplink assessment at each site before it becomes a project commitment.
