The ACTi D42A is a 3MP outdoor fixed bullet camera designed for surveillance applications requiring vari-focal lens adjustment and infrared night coverage. It combines a 2.8-12mm vari-focal lens, 30m adaptive IR illumination, and weatherproof/vandal-resistant construction for legacy outdoor security deployments.
Fixed bullet camera for outdoor use; 3MP maximum resolution with Progressive Scan CMOS image sensor; 1/3.2 in. sensor with 2592(H) x 1944(V) effective pixels; 2.8-12mm vari-focal lens; IP68 weatherproof, IK10 anti-vandal, and NEMA 4X-rated housing.
• Day/night operation with mechanical IR cut filter
• Adaptive IR LED x 15 at 850nm with 30m IR working distance
• Minimum illumination of 0.1 lux in color and 0 lux in B/W with IR LED on
• ISP-based configurable color to B/W switching
• 1350 TVL horizontal resolution with 52 dB S/N ratio
The D42A uses a Progressive Scan CMOS sensor with standard low-light sensitivity and an IR sensitivity range of 700-1100nm. Its electronic shutter supports 1/5-1/2000 second in manual mode and 1/5-1/10000 second in auto mode, allowing the camera to adapt to changing outdoor lighting conditions.
The camera is intended for outdoor installations where IP68 weather protection, IK10 impact resistance, and NEMA 4X-rated durability are required. Because the ACTi D42A is discontinued, availability and replacement planning should be confirmed before use in new projects.
