ACTi - KCM-8211 - 2MP Full HD 18x Outdoor D/N WDR Network Vandal PTZ Dome
Product Overview
The ACTi KCM-8211 is a 2MP outdoor PTZ camera built for intelligent IP surveillance systems. It combines day/night operation, an 18x optical zoom lens, Advanced WDR, and rugged outdoor protection for wide-area monitoring in demanding environments.
Key Configuration
2MP outdoor PTZ camera; 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution; 18x optical zoom lens with f4.7-84.6mm/F1.6-2.8; DC iris and auto focus; Advanced WDR 80 dB; 15 fps at 1920 x 1080 and 30 fps at 1280 x 720; H.264, MPEG-4, and MJPEG compression; IP66 weatherproof and IK10 vandal-proof construction.
Key Features
• 2MP Full HD video at 1920 x 1080
• Day/night operation with superior low-light sensitivity
• 18x optical zoom with DC iris and auto focus
• Advanced WDR 80 dB for improved dynamic range
• IP66 weatherproof and IK10 vandal-proof outdoor housing
Technical Context
The camera supports real-time video compression and transmission using H.264, MPEG-4, and MJPEG formats. Its embedded ISP adapts to changing lighting conditions to reduce noise in low-light scenes, while Advanced WDR helps preserve true colors, sharp edges, and usable detail in high-contrast environments.
Installation Notes
The KCM-8211 is designed for outdoor PTZ installations where weather resistance, vandal protection, and adjustable viewing coverage are required. Its included surveillance software can be used with an existing PC for recording, search, playback, motion detection, and event response workflows.
