ACTi - Q170 - 4MP f2.1mm Thermal Cube with Basic WDR
Product Overview
The ACTi Q170 is a rugged outdoor 4MP thermal cube camera designed for specialized surveillance in harsh environments. It combines thermal surveillance capabilities with overheating detection, IP68 weatherproof protection, and IK10 vandal resistance for security and industrial monitoring applications.
Key Configuration
4 Megapixel thermal cube camera; f2.1mm lens with F2.2 aperture; DORI range of 28 / 11.3 / 5.6 / 2.8m; IP68 weatherproof and IK10 vandal-proof housing; NETD sensitivity of less than 40mK.
Key Features
• Thermal surveillance supports detection in darkness, smoke, or difficult visibility conditions
• Overheating detection supports industrial and fire hazard monitoring applications
• 4MP imaging provides detailed surveillance coverage
• Basic WDR helps improve image balance in challenging lighting conditions
• IP68 and IK10 ratings support outdoor and vandal-prone installations
Technical Context
The Q170 uses thermal sensitivity with NETD <40mK to detect small temperature differences in a scene. This makes it suitable for identifying heat signatures, overheating equipment, and fire-related risks where standard visible-light cameras may be limited.
Installation Notes
The camera is built for outdoor deployment with IP68 weatherproofing and IK10 vandal resistance. Its listed DORI values are 28 / 11.3 / 5.6 / 2.8m, which should be considered when positioning the camera for detection, observation, recognition, or identification coverage.
