ACTi - B214 - 2MP 20x with WDR 145dB
Product Overview
The ACTi B214 is a 2MP zoom box camera designed for indoor and outdoor surveillance applications. It features a progressive scan CMOS image sensor, 20x zoom, Extreme WDR at 145 dB, 60fps frame rate, and IP66 weatherproof protection.
Key Configuration
Discontinued zoom box camera; indoor/outdoor application environment; 2MP maximum resolution; progressive scan CMOS image sensor; 1/2.8 in. sensor size; 1944(H) x 1224(V) effective pixels; 20x zoom; Extreme WDR 145 dB; IP66 weatherproof rating.
Key Features
• 2MP zoom box camera for indoor and outdoor surveillance
• 20x zoom supports detailed long-range monitoring
• Extreme WDR at 145 dB improves visibility in high-contrast scenes
• 60fps frame rate supports smooth video capture
• Day/night operation with mechanical IR cut filter
• Superior low light sensitivity with 0.1 lux color and 0.05 lux B/W illumination
• IP66 weatherproof protection for outdoor installation
Technical Context
The camera uses a 1/2.8 in. progressive scan CMOS sensor with 1944(H) x 1224(V) effective pixels. Minimum illumination is specified as color 0.1 lux at F1.6 and B/W 0.05 lux at F1.6, both at 30 IRE and 2400 K. Electronic shutter ranges include 1/5-1/2000 second in manual mode and 1/5-1/10000 second in automatic mode.
Installation Notes
Because the ACTi B214 is discontinued, availability and replacement planning should be confirmed before use in new projects. Its IP66 weatherproof rating supports outdoor use when installed with appropriate mounting, sealing, and cabling practices.
