Watch the approach to an entrance
The wide 2.8mm view can cover a doorway and its surroundings from one position. It is a fixed-focus camera, so plan framing and subject distance before mounting.
4 MP COLORGUARD BULLET FOR WALL COVERAGE
ACTi Z331 4MP ColorGuard Outdoor PoE Bullet Camera
Aim a fixed 99° bullet across an entrance or service approach. Choose infrared for discreet coverage after dark or enable white light where color detail helps.

Choose the Z331 for an exterior wall where 4 MP detail and a wide fixed view fit the site. Use the integrated bracket to set the aim, then choose a lighting mode that works for the scene and the surrounding area.
-
See activity in 4MP
Record up to 2560 × 1440 at 25 fps. Choose 2304 × 1296 for up to 30 fps.
-
Frame a wide fixed view
The 2.8mm F1.6 lens covers a 99° horizontal view; choose the mounting point to suit your subject distance.
-
Choose your night mode
Use default infrared or configure white light for color after dark. Each light source is rated up to 50 m (about 164 ft).
-
Connect power and data with PoE
IEEE 802.3af PoE supplies power over Ethernet. Separate 12V DC power is another supported option.
-
Monitor an outdoor position
IP68 protection suits outdoor use. Seal and protect exposed cable connections as part of installation.
-
Plan where footage will go
Use a supported memory card or a compatible recorder/VMS. Storage and any required recording licenses are separate.
What’s included and what’s sold separately
Frame an entrance with a fixed 99° view
The ACTi Z331 is a wired outdoor camera. Cover the approach and place the camera close enough to review the faces or objects that matter. The fixed lens keeps the same angle once the camera is mounted.
The fixed 2.8mm lens covers 99° horizontally. The camera records 2560 × 1440 at up to 25 fps, or 2304 × 1296 at up to 30 fps. Review the full specifications.
What will I see at night?
Adaptive infrared and configurable white light each reach up to 164 ft (50 m) under suitable conditions. Choose infrared for black-and-white video or enable white light for color where visible illumination is appropriate. Illumination reach and identification distance are different. Check the view at the subject distance you need.
Plan power and recording
Use IEEE 802.3af PoE for power and data on Ethernet, or supply compatible 12V DC power separately and use Ethernet for data. The camera is rated at 3.9 W over PoE. Record on a compatible memory card, to supported NFS storage, or on a compatible recorder or VMS. Compare the optional recorders and setup requirements.
What comes with the camera?
One white camera with integrated bracket, lens and microphone, plus the cable gland with rubber and washer, mounting screw kit, rubber plug, and printed product documentation. Supply compatible power, Ethernet, storage and optional equipment separately.
Choose the right mounting parts
ACTi PMAX-0729 Sold separately. Use the junction box to house the camera’s cable connection at the mounting point.

WHY THIS CAMERA
Put a service approach in the fixed frame
From a wall position, aim across the route people use to reach the door. Check a saved clip before finalizing the position so you can judge subject size and backlight.
Adapt the night view to your site
Infrared gives black-and-white viewing without visible white illumination. Configure white light when you want color after dark, and keep the lens clear of nearby reflective surfaces.
Add useful video and audio context
People and vehicle smart motion detection can help flag activity; the built-in microphone supplies one-way audio. Recording those features depends on your recorder or VMS settings and compatibility.
OUTDOOR APPLICATIONS
Three places to use this camera
Start with the area you want to see and the equipment you already own.
ENTRANCES
Frame an entrance or approach
Aim the fixed bullet along a driveway or entrance approach and check the near and far edges of the view before fastening it.
Installation concept illustration.
SERVICE AREAS
Plan exterior wall or pole coverage
For a supported 2.64–5-inch vertical pole, use one PMAX-0538 pole mount and one PMAX-0729 junction box per camera. Both are sold separately. Protect the cable connections and check the mounting surface before drilling.
Installation concept illustration.
WIRED SYSTEMS
Extend an existing wired system
Use an available channel on a compatible recorder or VMS. Check Ethernet reach, the PoE budget, and how the recorder handles the selected streams and events.
Installation concept illustration.
POWER, NETWORK AND RECORDING
Power and record the Z331
Power the camera over Ethernet with IEEE 802.3af PoE or use a suitable 12 V DC supply. Match the IP channel to the stream you want to save, then test recorded video, audio and the events you plan to use.
- Camera Captures 4MP video and one-way microphone audio.
- Network and power Use IEEE 802.3af PoE, or Ethernet with separate 12V DC power.
- Recording destination Connect a compatible recorder or VMS, or configure supported memory-card recording.
- Playback Review footage through the compatible recording system you configure.
Match the stream to your recorder
Use H.265 or H.264 with a compatible system. The maximum 4MP setting reaches 25 fps; 2304 × 1296 reaches up to 30 fps.
Allow for the camera’s power draw
Provide IEEE 802.3af PoE or a suitable 12V DC source. Listed consumption is 3.9 W on PoE or 5.5 W on DC power; power equipment is sold separately.
Use microphone audio thoughtfully
The built-in microphone captures one-way audio.
Protect network access
Set a strong camera password and control which users can access live footage or recordings. Use HTTPS when your installation supports it.
INSTALLATION GUIDANCE
Mount the bullet and plan the cable exit
Aim the bracket from a solid surface and leave room for the Ethernet connector and cable bend. Use the PMAX-0729 junction box for connection space, or pair it with the PMAX-0538 for a supported pole. Both are sold separately.
-
1
Plan a wide fixed view
Choose a position that frames the approach without obstructions. The 99° horizontal view is an angle of coverage; subject detail depends on distance and scene conditions.
-
2
Bring Ethernet and compatible power
Use a powered IEEE 802.3af PoE connection, or provide Ethernet and separate 12V DC power. A network cable, power adapter and PoE equipment are not included.
-
3
Match the mounting assembly
-
4
Configure and check recordings
Set the stream, recording destination, night mode and supported events for your system. Secure access, then check the installed view and playback in day and night conditions.
BUYING GUIDANCE
Check the fit before ordering
This camera suits a planned wired installation. It is a fixed-view camera, so the mounting position determines the scene you capture.
You have a planned wired site
Use an available PoE port or compatible power source and a recording system that supports this camera’s stream. Storage and recording equipment are separate.
A wide fixed view fits your job
Choose the 2.8mm model for the view you can frame from one mounting position. The Z331-P1 4mm model is a different reference.
You need a cable-free camera
Plan a different camera type if Ethernet cabling and compatible power cannot be supplied at the mounting position.
VIEW AND PLACEMENT
