Product Features
Technical Overview
The I96 leverages a 1/2.8" CMOS image sensor that captures detailed 2-megapixel imagery in both color and monochrome modes, with a day/night function enabling effective low-light surveillance. Its motorized zoom lens offers a 4.3 mm to 129 mm focal length range, providing a wide 66.4° field of view for broad area coverage and a tight 2.61° angle for distant subject identification. The lens features a fast f/1.6 to f/5 aperture and supports shutter speeds from 1/10000 to 1/5 second, allowing precise exposure control in varying lighting conditions.
Network connectivity is handled via a wired Fast Ethernet interface with a full spectrum of IP communication protocols, including TCP/IP, UDP, RTP/RTSP for streaming, and security protocols like HTTPS and IPv6. The camera's power design peaks at 31.50 watts, accommodating standard PoE or direct power input for installation flexibility.

Deployment / Use Cases
The I96 is engineered for perimeter security, critical infrastructure monitoring, and high-value asset protection where reliable, detailed surveillance is non-negotiable. Its outdoor-rated construction and versatile mounting options—including wall, pole, pendant, and corner mounts—make it ideal for parking lots, transportation hubs, industrial facilities, and commercial building exteriors. The 30x zoom capability allows a single camera to cover expansive areas, reducing the total number of units required for comprehensive site coverage.
In retail or campus environments, the camera's SD card local storage supports standalone operation without continuous network dependency, useful for temporary installations or as a backup recording layer. Integration with VMS platforms is streamlined through ONVIF conformance and extensive protocol support, enabling the I96 to function within mixed-vendor security ecosystems commonly found in enterprise and municipal deployments.
Perimeter & Infrastructure
Deploy along fences, gates, or building exteriors to monitor unauthorized access, with the zoom lens capturing clear details of vehicles or individuals at distance.
Urban & Transportation
Install at intersections, parking structures, or transit stations to oversee traffic flow, public safety, and incident documentation, leveraging the high frame rate for smooth video playback.
Physical Profile
The camera's dome enclosure measures 10.87" (276 mm) in height and 7.87" (200 mm) in diameter, presenting a low-profile appearance that deters tampering. Weighing approximately 5.51 lb (2499 g), the unit is substantial enough for stable mounting yet manageable for installation on standard poles or walls. The dome's smoked finish helps conceal the camera's direction, enhancing its deterrent effect while protecting the lens from glare and debris.

FAQ
What is the maximum video resolution of the ACTi I96 camera?
The ACTi I96 captures video at a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, which is Full HD 1080p. This resolution provides clear, detailed imagery suitable for identifying faces, license plates, and other critical details in surveillance footage. The camera maintains this resolution at a frame rate of 30 frames per second, ensuring smooth, real-time video playback.
Can this camera be used outdoors in harsh weather conditions?
Yes, the I96 is specifically designed for outdoor use with an IP66/IP67 ingress protection rating, making it dust-tight and capable of withstanding temporary immersion in water. It also carries IK09 and IK10 impact resistance ratings, protecting against vandalism and physical impacts. The built-in heater and fan allow reliable operation in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 60°C.
What type of zoom does the I96 offer, and how does it benefit surveillance?
This camera features a 30x optical zoom lens, which mechanically adjusts the focal length from 4.3 mm to 129 mm. Optical zoom provides lossless magnification, preserving image quality when zooming in on distant subjects, unlike digital zoom which merely crops the image. This capability is essential for monitoring large areas like parking lots or perimeters where detail at distance is critical.
What video encoding formats are supported?
The I96 supports both H.264 and MJPEG video encoding formats. H.264 is a highly efficient compression standard that reduces bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining high video quality, ideal for continuous recording. MJPEG offers simpler compression with individual frame encoding, useful for applications requiring easy frame extraction or compatibility with legacy systems.
How is the camera powered, and what are its power requirements?
The camera can be powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE) using the RJ-45 network connection or through a direct power input. Its maximum power consumption is 31.50 watts, which accommodates the operational needs of the motorized zoom, heater, fan, and imaging components. This flexibility simplifies installation by allowing power and data over a single Ethernet cable where PoE switches or injectors are available.
What mounting options are available for this dome camera?
The I96 supports multiple mounting configurations including wall mount, pole mount, pendant mount, and corner mount. This versatility allows installation on various surfaces and structures to achieve optimal viewing angles. The dome form factor and included hardware facilitate secure attachment, making it suitable for both new installations and retrofits in existing security setups.
What display size or resolution is listed?
It features a display specification of 2 Megapixel, giving you clear visuals for work and media use.
