Product Features
Technical Overview
The E91 utilizes a 1/4" CMOS image sensor that captures color video with effective noise reduction, producing sharper images compared to older CCD technology while consuming less power. Video output is configurable up to 1280 x 720 resolution, with dual-stream capability allowing simultaneous recording and live viewing at different quality settings. The lens is a fixed board-mount type with a maximum aperture of f/2, supporting exposure control from 1/10000 to 1/5 second for adaptability in varying lighting conditions.
Network communication is handled via a wired Fast Ethernet connection, supporting a comprehensive suite of protocols including TCP/IP, HTTP/HTTPS, RTSP for streaming, and SNMP for management. The camera includes an RJ-45 port for PoE compatibility when used with a PoE injector or switch, simplifying installation by carrying both data and power over a single cable. Local storage is supported via microSD card slot, enabling onboard recording without continuous network dependency.
Key Product Advantages
The ACTi E91 combines practical imaging performance with robust construction for indoor surveillance applications.

The camera's efficient CMOS sensor and advanced video processing deliver clear 720p footage while minimizing bandwidth and storage requirements through intelligent compression.
Enhanced Durability
With an IK08 impact protection rating, the dome withstands physical impacts up to 5 joules, ensuring continuous operation in environments where cameras may be subject to accidental or intentional contact.
- IK08 rated vandal resistance
- Dome form factor for discreet mounting
- Indoor-specific environmental sealing
Flexible Deployment
Support for both H.264 and MJPEG compression allows administrators to optimize for either quality or bandwidth efficiency. Dual streaming enables simultaneous high-resolution recording and lower-resolution live viewing.
- Dual video streams for recording and monitoring
- SD card slot for local storage backup
- Wide protocol support for integration with most VMS platforms
Deployment / Use Cases
The E91 is designed for indoor surveillance where clear identification and reliable operation are priorities. Its fixed wide-angle lens and compact dome form make it particularly effective for monitoring confined spaces with consistent coverage needs. The vandal-resistant construction adds an extra layer of security for cameras installed in accessible locations.
Typical installations include retail stores for point-of-sale monitoring, office building corridors and entryways, educational facilities for common area surveillance, and healthcare environments where discreet monitoring is required. The camera's low power consumption and PoE capability simplify deployment in both new and retrofit installations, reducing wiring complexity and infrastructure costs.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the resolution of the ACTi E91 camera?
The ACTi E91 captures video at 1-megapixel resolution, specifically 1280 x 720 pixels. This 720p HD resolution provides clear imaging suitable for identification purposes in indoor surveillance applications, with support for up to 30 frames per second for smooth motion capture.
Is this camera suitable for outdoor use?
No, the E91 is designed specifically for indoor deployment. While it features vandal-resistant construction with an IK08 impact rating, it lacks weatherproofing for outdoor environmental conditions. For outdoor surveillance, consider ACTi's outdoor-rated dome camera models with appropriate environmental sealing.
What type of lens does the E91 have?
The camera includes a fixed 2.9 mm lens with a board-mount design. This lens provides a consistent 72° field of view without adjustment capability, making it ideal for applications where a consistent wide-angle perspective is needed, such as monitoring corridors, entryways, or retail spaces.
Does the E91 support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, the camera includes an RJ-45 network port that supports Power over Ethernet when connected to a PoE switch or injector. This allows both data and power to be delivered over a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installation and reducing wiring complexity. The camera's low 2.43 W power consumption makes it well-suited for PoE deployment.
What video compression formats does the camera support?
The E91 supports both H.264 and MJPEG video compression formats. H.264 provides efficient bandwidth usage with good image quality, while MJPEG offers simpler decoding and frame-by-frame access. This dual-format support allows flexibility in balancing storage requirements, network bandwidth, and video quality based on specific surveillance needs.
What is the IK08 impact rating?
IK08 is an international standard for impact protection, indicating the camera's housing can withstand impacts of up to 5 joules (equivalent to a 1.7 kg mass dropped from 29.5 cm). This vandal-resistant rating makes the E91 suitable for installations where cameras may be subject to accidental or intentional physical contact, such as in retail stores, schools, or public buildings.
What display size or resolution is listed?
It features a display specification of 1 Megapixel, giving you clear visuals for work and media use.
