This document describes the ACTi ACM-1230 series MegaPixel IP Outdoor IR Bullet Camera, a cutting-edge digital video transmission device designed for surveillance applications. The camera supports multiple power options including DC 12V, Power over Ethernet (PoE), and AC24V, offering flexibility in installation.
Function Description:
The ACTi ACM-1230 series camera is an IP-based outdoor IR bullet camera capable of compressing and transmitting real-time images over a standard TCP/IP network. It leverages a powerful ARM9 SoC to deliver dual streams of MPEG-4 and MJPEG video, both supporting megapixel resolution. This makes it suitable for both conventional and intelligent IP surveillance systems. The camera integrates hardware motion detection, eliminating the need for external sensors, and supports up to three detection areas with adjustable object size and sensitivity for reliable performance.
