About the ACTi ACTi I27

The ACTi ACTi I27 is a rugged outdoor-grade bullet form factor designed to withstand exposure to weather, vandalism, and direct sunlight. 4MP resolution delivers a noticeable detail upgrade over 1080p — facial identification extends to roughly 18 meters, and digital zoom on recorded footage stays usable. There is no built-in IR illuminator on this model, so it depends entirely on ambient light. In dark environments, pair it with external IR floods or white-light illuminators. A standard 50–80° horizontal FOV mimics how a person sees a scene and works well for general-purpose monitoring of rooms, parking spaces, and perimeter walls without distortion. Super Low Light technology pulls usable color out of scenes lit by little more than a streetlight or moonlight, eliminating the need to drop into B/W mode in most night conditions.

Installation tips for the ACTi I27

Coverage geometry & DORI distances

At a 5-metre standoff the ACTi ACTi I27 covers about 5.7 m of scene width; at 10 m that grows to 11.3 m, and at 20 m to 22.6 m. Translating those numbers through EN 62676-4 pixel-density thresholds, the camera can detect a person up to 95 m, observe up to 38 m, recognise up to 19 m, and produce identification-grade detail (the ≥250 px/m bar used by Polish and EU courts as evidentiary) up to 10 m. Effective range above the identify threshold relies on supplementary lighting or a longer-focal-length optic — the geometry above assumes the 4.3-129mm lens declared by the manufacturer.

Power & cabling

The ACTi ACTi I27 draws an estimated 5.5 W under typical load (with the IR illuminator engaged where applicable), placing it in the 802.3af (Class 3, ≤15.4 W) budget. A single switch port supplies enough power without an injector. Cabling: stick to Cat6 STP for runs up to 100 m end-to-end — beyond that, add an inline PoE extender or move to fibre with a media converter at the camera end. On outdoor runs, route through ø25 PVC or PE conduit to keep the cable shielded from UV and rodents.

Privacy & legal (GDPR / RODO)

Any camera operating in a publicly accessible area falls under GDPR (RODO in Poland) — Art. 13 obliges the data controller to post an information sign at every entry point with controller name, DPO contact, lawful basis (typically Art. 6(1)(f) legitimate interest for property protection), purpose, and retention period. Even a narrowly-aimed bullet camera can incidentally record passers-by, so the Art. 13 sign at the entry point applies regardless of how tightly the lens is framed.

Installer time & cost (rough estimate)

A typical EU installer quotes 3–4 h of labour per bullet camera of this class (approximately €135–€185 excluding hardware), broken down as bracket mounting, cable termination at both ends, on-site commissioning, and a brief operator handover. Allow extra time for high mounts (>4 m), exterior installations requiring scaffolding, or sites where cable routing demands wall penetrations or conduit work.

Indicative EU 2024-2025 pricing — actual quotes vary by region, mounting height, and site conditions. Excludes hardware, transport, permits, and VAT.
