What’s included and what’s sold separately
Choose night lighting that suits the site
The ACTi Z722 is a wired outdoor camera. Use infrared where visible lighting would be distracting. When color detail helps you review a scene, configure the built-in white light and check the result at the installed position.
The fixed 2.8mm lens covers 97° horizontally. Record 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. Infrared produces black-and-white video. White light provides the visible illumination needed for color. 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 2.8 W over PoE. Record to a compatible recorder or VMS. Match the stream and event functions to the exact recording system, and size its storage for your schedule. Compare the optional recorders and setup requirements.

WHY THIS CAMERA
Choose night lighting that suits the site
Use infrared where visible lighting would be distracting. When color detail helps you review a scene, configure the built-in white light and check the result at the installed position.
Plan for daylight and after dark
120 dB wide dynamic range helps with bright and shaded areas. Adaptive infrared is rated up to 50 m (about 164 ft) under suitable conditions. Infrared gives black-and-white video by default. Enable white light in the camera settings for color, with a separate 50 m illumination rating.
Review the events that matter
Person and vehicle motion detection, tamper detection, and sound-triggered events. A compatible recorder must support any events you want it to receive.
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
Position the turret for a wide view of a patio, entry or walkway. Set the turret angle at installation and verify how nearby surfaces affect night lighting.
Installation concept illustration.
SERVICE AREAS
Plan exterior wall or pole coverage
Use one PMAX-0365 for the supported straight-wall installation with the camera facing downward. Its built-in junction box houses the connections. 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.

POWER, NETWORK AND RECORDING
Plan power, recording and playback
Run Ethernet to the camera, choose power, then confirm where video will be recorded and how you will review it.
- Camera Captures 4MP video and one-way microphone audio.
- Network and power Use an IEEE 802.3af PoE switch or injector, or a suitable 12V DC source with Ethernet. The camera is rated at 2.8 W over PoE.
- Recorder or storage Choose a compatible recorder, VMS, or an applicable storage path below.
- Playback Review footage in the playback tools for your configured recording system.
Match the stream to your recorder
Choose from H.265, H.264, and MJPEG. The camera supports simultaneous dual streams. Check which resolution, frame rate, and format your recorder can save.
Decide what should trigger an event
Person and vehicle motion detection, tamper detection, and sound-triggered events. Test which events your receiving system can record or notify on.
Add one-way sound when appropriate
The built-in microphone supplies G.711 audio to a compatible system. Enable it only where appropriate for your site.
Protect network access
Use a strong password and HTTPS where supported by your setup. Plan user access and test any privacy masks before recording.
INSTALLATION GUIDANCE

CLEARVERO GUIDANCE
Test recordings and events
The camera supports ONVIF Profiles S, G, and T. Verify the recorder’s supported profile, stream format, resolution, audio and event functions before installation. Test day and night recordings before leaving the site.
PUT IT TO WORK
Build around the equipment you already have
Check your site and existing equipment before buying mounting parts or storage.
You already have a recorder
Check available camera channels and confirm your recorder can accept the camera’s stream settings. Test playback on the recorder you intend to use.
You are starting a wired system
Plan camera power, a compatible recorder or VMS, and storage before choosing retention settings.
Lighting and cable protection
Adaptive infrared is rated up to 50 m (about 164 ft) under suitable conditions. Infrared gives black-and-white video by default. Enable white light in the camera settings for color, with a separate 50 m illumination rating. Keep the illuminators clear of nearby reflective surfaces and protect exposed connections.
