The ACTi E57 is a 1.3MP indoor fixed dome camera designed for day/night surveillance with IR illumination and WDR support. It combines a progressive scan CMOS sensor, fixed 3.6mm lens, 30m Adaptive IR LED range, and 60 fps frame rate for smooth indoor monitoring.
Fixed dome camera for indoor applications; 1.3MP maximum resolution with 1280(H) x 960(V) effective pixels; 1/3 in. progressive scan CMOS sensor; fixed 3.6mm lens; Adaptive IR LED x 10 with 30m IR working distance; 60 fps frame rate.
• Day/night operation with mechanical IR cut filter for low-light surveillance
• WDR rated at 88 dB helps improve image visibility in challenging lighting
• Minimum illumination of 0.1 lux in color and 0 lux in B/W with IR LED on
• Superior low light sensitivity supports clearer imaging in dim indoor scenes
• 700–1100nm IR sensitivity range and 52 dB signal-to-noise ratio
The camera uses ISP-based color-to-B/W switching and a mechanical IR cut filter to support day/night image capture. Its electronic shutter supports 1/5–1/2000 second in manual mode and 1/5–1/10000 second in auto mode for exposure control under changing indoor lighting.
The fixed dome form factor is intended for indoor surveillance installations where compact camera coverage and infrared night monitoring are required.
