ACTi - E42 - 3MP with IR LED 15m (0 lux, 30IRE, Max Exposure Gain), WDR 74dB
Product Overview
The ACTi E42 is a 3MP outdoor fixed bullet camera designed for day/night surveillance with IR illumination and Basic WDR. It combines a progressive scan CMOS sensor, a 3.3–12mm vari-focal lens, and rugged outdoor protection for reliable monitoring in exposed environments.
Key Configuration
Fixed bullet camera for outdoor applications; 3MP maximum resolution with 2592(H) x 1944(V) effective pixels; 1/3.2 in. progressive scan CMOS sensor; 3.3–12mm vari-focal lens; 15m IR working distance with Adaptive IR LED.
Key Features
• Day/night operation with mechanical IR cut filter for changing light conditions
• Basic WDR rated at 74 dB helps improve visibility in high-contrast scenes
• Minimum illumination of 0.1 lux in color and 0 lux in B/W with IR LED on
• IP68 weatherproof, IK10 vandal-resistant, and NEMA 4X-rated housing
• 700–1100nm IR sensitivity range and 52 dB signal-to-noise ratio
Technical Context
The camera uses ISP-based color-to-B/W switching and a mechanical IR cut filter to support day/night imaging. Its electronic shutter supports 1/5–1/2000 second in manual mode and 1/5–1/10000 second in auto mode for exposure adjustment in outdoor lighting conditions.
Installation Notes
The outdoor bullet housing is designed for exposed installations where weatherproofing, vandal resistance, and NEMA 4X environmental durability are required.
