1. Entwodiksyon

This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the ACTi A821 6MP Outdoor Zoom Dome Camera. The ACTi A821 is a high-performance surveillance camera designed for outdoor environments, featuring 6MP resolution, 5x optical zoom, superior low light sensitivity, and robust environmental protection.

2. Enfòmasyon sou Sekirite

• Li tout enstriksyon yo ak anpil atansyon anvan enstalasyon ak operasyon.
• Ensure the power source meets the camera's requirements (DC 12V or PoE Class 3).
• Se pèsonèl kalifye ki ta dwe fè enstalasyon an, dapre kòd elektrik lokal yo.
• Pa ekspoze kamera a nan tanperati ekstrèm ki pa nan limit fonksyònman li (-40°C a 60°C).
• Evite ekspoze lantiy la dirèkteman a sous limyè fò pandan yon peryòd tan pwolonje.
• Pa eseye demonte oswa modifye kamera a, paske sa ap anile garanti a.

• Day & Night Functionality with IR LED: Automatically switches between color and black-and-white modes, supported by infrared LEDs for visibility in complete darkness up to 85 meters.
• Superior Low Light Sensitivity: Achieves clear images in minimal ambient light conditions (0.003 lux in color).
• Lantiy zoom optik 5x: Features an f2.7-13.5mm/F1.6 auto-focus lens, allowing for flexible field-of-view adjustments (102.1° to 34.5° horizontal).
• Extreme WDR (150dB): Wide Dynamic Range technology ensures balanced exposure in scenes with both very bright and very dark areas.
• H.265/H.264 Video Compression: Efficient video encoding reduces bandwidth and storage requirements.
• Rediksyon Bri Dijital 3D (DNR): Enhances image clarity by reducing visual noise, especially in low light.
• Sipò odyo: 2-way audio capability with line-in and line-out ports.
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) / DC12V: Flexible power options.
• IP68 Weatherproof and IK10 Vandal Proof: Designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions and protect against physical impact.
• Digital Input/Output (DI/DO): For integration with external sensors or alarms.
• Taiwan IoT Cybersecurity Certification Level 1 (TAICS): Ensures a baseline level of cybersecurity.

5. Enstalasyon

5.1 Enstalasyon Fizik

The ACTi A821 camera supports various mounting options:

• Mi Mount: Securely attach the camera to a vertical surface.
• Mòn poto: Utilize an appropriate bracket to attach to a pole.
• Pendant mòn: Suspend the camera from a ceiling or overhang.
• Kwen mòn: Install the camera in a corner for wider coverage.

Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to support the camera's weight (approximately 2.82 lbs) and any associated cabling. Use the provided mounting hardware or suitable alternatives for secure installation.

5.2 Fil elektrik ak Koneksyon

Connect the camera using the following interfaces:

• Ethernet Port (RJ-45 pigtail connector): Connect to your network for data transmission and Power over Ethernet (PoE). If using PoE, no separate power adapter is needed.
• DC 12V Antre pouvwa: If PoE is not available, connect a DC 12V power adapter (not included) to the camera's power input.
• Audio Line-in/Line-out: Connect external microphone and speaker for 2-way audio communication.
• Digital Input/Output (Terminal block): Connect external devices such as alarm sensors or relays.

After connecting, ensure all cables are properly secured and protected, especially in outdoor installations, to maintain the IP68 rating.

5.3 Inisyal Konfigirasyon

Once powered on and connected to the network, the camera can be accessed and configured using ACTi's unified software solutions. Refer to the ACTi software documentation for detailed instructions on network discovery, IP address assignment, and initial camera settings. The camera features a reset button for factory default restoration if needed.

6. Operasyon

6.1 Operasyon debaz

Jwenn aksè a an dirèk kamera a view epi anrejistre manjetage through the ACTi software or a compatible network video recorder (NVR). The camera automatically adjusts its imaging parameters based on ambient light conditions, switching between Day (color) and Night (B/W with IR) modes.

6.2 Karakteristik avanse

• Zoom ak Konsantre: The 5x optical zoom lens allows for remote adjustment of the field of view. The auto-focus function simplifies installation and ensures sharp images.
• WDR (Wide Range Dinamik): Enable Extreme WDR (150dB) in scenes with high contrast lighting to improve visibility in both bright and dark areas simultaneously.
• Ekleraj IR: The built-in IR LEDs provide illumination for clear black-and-white video in complete darkness. The IR working distance is up to 85 meters.
• Odyo: Utilize the 2-way audio feature for communication or environmental sound monitoring.
• Jesyon Evènman: Configure event triggers (e.g., motion detection, digital input) and define corresponding responses such as recording, notification, or activating digital outputs.
• ViewAjisteman Angle: The camera allows for pan (0°-355°), tilt (0°-75°), and rotation (0°-355°) adjustments during installation to achieve the desired coverage.

7. Antretyen

• Netwayaj: Periodically clean the camera's dome cover with a soft, damp twal pou retire pousyè, salte, oswa tach dlo ki ka bouche view. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Mizajou mikrolojisyèl: Regularly check the ACTi website for firmware updates to ensure optimal performance, security, and access to new features. Follow the provided instructions for firmware upgrade procedures.
