ACTi B420 5MP Network Bullet Camera
The B420 is a 5MP bullet camera engineered for outdoor and maritime environments where both environmental sealing and impact resistance define the installation. IP68 rating (fully sealed against dust and water submersion) paired with IK10 vandal resistance (withstands 11-joule impacts) makes this the right choice for perimeter security, coastal deployments, high-traffic industrial yards, and any fixed surveillance role where the hardware must survive direct impact, spray, and submersion exposure. The motorized 4.6–165.6mm lens (36x zoom) covers wide overview to tight telephoto detail in a single mount point—eliminating the infrastructure cost and maintenance burden of multi-camera deployments.
Imaging and Durability
5MP resolution delivers evidence-grade detail across the full zoom range. WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) handles mixed-lighting scenes—windows, sun-exposed perimeters, or backlit subjects—without highlight blowout or shadow crush. Adaptive IR provides 24/7 operation in low-light and full-dark conditions without visible light pollution. H.265 and H.264 codec support allows bandwidth optimization (H.265 typically cuts file size 40–60% compared to H.264 at equivalent quality) while maintaining H.264 fallback for legacy VMS integration.
Power and Integration
PoE (802.3af) powering eliminates dedicated power infrastructure on pole mounts or remote installations. DC 12V alternative is available where PoE is unavailable. Built-in analytics, MicroSDHC/MicroSDXC slot, audio I/O, discrete input/output (DI/DO), and RS-422/RS-485 serial control support edge recording, alarm integration, and auxiliary PTZ device control. The B420 operates across -40°C to 60°C, handling temperature extremes common to coastal and industrial environments.
