FAQ
What resolution does the ACTi A817 camera support?
The ACTi A817 captures video at 8-megapixel resolution, specifically 3840 x 2160 pixels, which is commonly referred to as 4K Ultra HD. This high resolution provides four times the detail of standard 1080p cameras, enabling clearer identification of subjects and finer detail in surveillance footage. The camera maintains this resolution at up to 30 frames per second for smooth motion capture.
How far does the night vision reach on this camera?
The camera provides night vision coverage up to 98.43 feet (30 meters) through its built-in infrared LEDs. This range allows for effective monitoring in complete darkness, making the camera suitable for perimeter security and outdoor areas without ambient lighting. The camera automatically switches between day and night modes, and includes a removable IR cut-off filter to optimize image quality in different lighting conditions.
What type of lens does the A817 use?
The A817 features a varifocal lens with a focal length range of 2.8mm to 12mm, providing 4.3x optical zoom capability. This varifocal design allows installers to adjust the field of view during installation without changing lenses, offering flexibility in camera placement and coverage area. The lens includes a maximum aperture of f/1.3 for improved low-light performance and is mounted directly to the camera board for stable alignment.
Is this camera suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes, the A817 is specifically designed for outdoor use with an IP66 ingress protection rating that makes it dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets. Additionally, it carries an IK10 impact resistance rating, meaning it can withstand 20 joules of impact energy. The camera operates in temperatures from -40°F to 122°F (-40°C to 50°C), making it suitable for extreme weather conditions in various geographic locations.
What video compression formats does the camera support?
The camera supports three video compression formats: H.265 (HEVC), H.264 (AVC), and MJPEG. H.265 provides the most efficient compression, reducing bandwidth and storage requirements by approximately 50% compared to H.264 while maintaining similar video quality. H.264 offers broad compatibility with existing surveillance systems, while MJPEG provides individual frame compression useful for specific analytical applications. All formats support the camera's maximum 3840 x 2160 resolution.
What mounting options are available for this dome camera?
The A817 supports four mounting configurations: pendant mounting from ceilings, wall mounting on vertical surfaces, gang box mounting for electrical box integration, and flush mounting for discreet installations. This flexibility allows security professionals to install the camera in various architectural environments while maintaining optimal viewing angles. The dome form factor provides a low-profile appearance that blends with building aesthetics while protecting the camera components.
