  • At the top of the page in the product desription you say it has a Sony SuperHAD CCD but both the additional information and the product data sheet say it has a CMOS sensor, this is both rather confussing and as I believe the CMOS is the acurate desciption a bit dissapointing
  • Hello Harry,
    Sorry about that error on the product web page information for the ACTi ACM-1231, it is now corrected.

  • Does POE require a splitter at the camera or does it auto sense..
  • Hi Iain,
    
    The ACTi ACM-1231 is POE-ready, so no splitter required simply plug in the RJ45 plug and the camera will accept and use the POE power supplied via the single ethernet cable.

  • how would you attach an external microphone to this camera? via a standard 3.5mm jack? Where would the sound be captured? Could you incorporate sound and video together via the software provided?
  • Hello Ian,
    
    On the product datasheet the terminal block marked as number 2 is for connected Audio in/out devices.
    The ACTi 1231 doesn't have a headphone/microphone style jacks, you need to wire them to the connector block in the rear of the camera.
    You can configure the ACTi CCTV Recording software to record sound with your video, and you can then play them back in sync.
    
    Hope that helps ...

  • Hi, you mentioned that you can set the cameras to record at a certain time, how is that achieved? via the software? I want to record from 6pm till 10pm and after that I want the cameras to turn off until 6pm the next day, is this possible without physically touching the cameras? what about setting specific days to film only? Also can you set one camera to do specific days and hours, and another camera on the same network film at alternative hours? I am looking to have 4 cameras on the same network filiming at different times, please let me know if this is possible, thank you.
  • Hi Charlie,
    
    The answer is Yes.
    You can use ACTi's Free Professional or Enterprise CCTV recording software to schedule recordings.
    You can set different recording schedules for different cameras.
    You can schedule to record for the same hours every day, or different scheduled hours for each day of the week (per camera).
    You can even set a specific schedule for a specific calendar date!

  • thank you very much for your very prompt reply, and to your expert inputs,
    
    if you dont mind can you recommend a 3rd party software that i can use as an NVR, ACti software for me lacks features like recording information, and a few bugs i found out.
  • We're working on a shortlist of three software solutions right now. Can I recommend that you join our forum / subscribe to our blog / follow us on Twitter; the conversation on "the best CCTV software" is ongoing, and there probably will not be a 'one size suits all' solution :-)
