What’s included and what’s sold separately
Cover more of a nearby approach
The ACTi Z912 is a wired outdoor camera. A wide fixed view can take in a broad entrance from a compact mounting point. Keep the subjects you need to review close enough to occupy a useful part of the frame.
The fixed 2.8mm lens covers 112.9° horizontally. Record 2880 × 1620 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 illuminates up to 164 ft (50 m) under suitable conditions and gives black-and-white video in darkness. Color after dark needs visible light at the scene. 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 4.4 W over PoE. Plan footage retention on a compatible recorder or VMS. Check resolution, playback, storage and any channel licenses for the exact system you intend to use. Compare the optional recorders and setup requirements.

WHY THIS CAMERA
Cover more of a nearby approach
A wide fixed view can take in a broad entrance from a compact mounting point. Keep the subjects you need to review close enough to occupy a useful part of the frame.
Plan for daylight and after dark
130 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 produces black-and-white video in darkness. Provide suitable scene lighting if you need color after dark.
Review the events that matter
Person and vehicle detection, person line-crossing and intrusion detection, and tamper detection. 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
Use the compact mini dome under an overhang or at a lobby approach. Check the wide view for blind spots and nearby reflective surfaces.
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.
Installation concept illustration.
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 5MP 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 4.4 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 detection, person line-crossing and intrusion detection, and tamper detection. 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
Plan the Z912 view, power and mounting point
Choose the scene, mounting surface and cable path before drilling. Allow room for the connectors and protect the outdoor cable connection.
-
CLEARVERO GUIDANCE
Choose the camera position

CLEARVERO GUIDANCE
Provide power and Ethernet
Use an IEEE 802.3af PoE switch or injector, or a suitable 12V DC source with Ethernet. The camera is rated at 4.4 W over PoE. Keep connectors accessible for installation and service.
-
CLEARVERO GUIDANCE
Protect the mounting point
For the supported straight-wall setup with the camera facing down, choose one PMAX-0365 wall mount per camera. Its built-in junction box provides room for connections. The mount is sold separately. A pole installation needs a different assembly.
-
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 produces black-and-white video in darkness. Provide suitable scene lighting if you need color after dark. Keep the illuminators clear of nearby reflective surfaces and protect exposed connections.
