ACTi - E21-VF -
Product Overview
The ACTi E21V is a 1MP fixed box camera designed for indoor and outdoor surveillance applications. It features a 2.8-12mm vari-focal lens, Progressive Scan CMOS imaging, day/night operation, and WDR 74dB support for mixed lighting environments.
Key Configuration
Fixed box camera for indoor/outdoor use; 1MP maximum resolution with Progressive Scan CMOS image sensor; 1/4 in. sensor with 1280(H) x 800(V) effective pixels; 2.8-12mm vari-focal lens; WDR 74dB; IP66 weatherproof housing.
Key Features
• Day/night operation with mechanical IR cut filter
• 2.8-12mm vari-focal lens allows adjustable scene coverage
• WDR 74dB helps improve visibility in mixed lighting
• Minimum illumination of 0.1 lux in color and 0.05 lux in B/W
• 700 TVL horizontal resolution with 52 dB S/N ratio
Technical Context
The E21V uses a 1/4 in. 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 for adapting to changing lighting conditions.
Installation Notes
The camera is suitable for indoor and outdoor fixed box installations where weather resistance, day/night performance, WDR support, and adjustable lens coverage are required.
