16+ Megapixel

ACTi's 16+ Megapixel technology, led by the A317, delivers ultra-high resolution and AI-powered intelligence to enable wide-area coverage with exceptional detail and efficiency.

Vue d'ensemble

As surveillance demands evolve from simple monitoring to data-driven security intelligence, image resolution has become a critical differentiator. Traditional 2MP–8MP systems are no longer sufficient for large-scale environments requiring wide coverage, forensic-level detail, and AI-based analytics accuracy.

ACTi introduces its 16+ Megapixel (MP) camera technology, led by models such as the ACTi A317, delivering:

Ultra-high pixel density Enhanced situational awareness AI-ready video streams Reduced infrastructure complexity

This white paper explores the technical architecture, advantages, and real-world applications of ACTi’s 16MP+ surveillance solutions.

The Evolution of Resolution in Video Surveillance

  1. Legacy CCTV (<1MP) - Basic Monitoring
  2. HD Era (2-5MP) - General Surveillance
  3. 8MP High-quality recording
  4. 16MP+ - AI and Forensics

Higher resolution is not just about sharper images—it directly impacts:

  • Object detection accuracy
  • Identification capability
  • Post-event forensic analysis

ACTi 16+ Megapixel Technology Architecture

Ultra-High Resolution Sensors

  • 16MP and above pixel arrays
  • Enables wide-area coverage with fewer cameras
  • Maintains detail even after digital zoom

Extreme WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)

  • Handles challenging lighting (backlight, glare, shadows)
  • Preserves details in both bright and dark regions

Extreme Low Light Sensitivity

  • Optimized sensor + ISP pipeline
  • Enables usable images in near-dark environments
  • Reduces reliance on IR illumination

Built-in AI Analytics

  • Object detection (people, vehicles)
  • Classification and event filtering
  • Metadata generation for VMS integration

High-Efficiency Compression

  • H.265 / H.264 / AV1 support
  • Optimized bitrate despite higher resolution
  • Reduces storage and bandwidth costs

Advantages of 16MP+ Surveillance

Wide Coverage with Fewer Cameras

  • Replace multiple 4MP cameras with one 16MP unit
  • Lower installation and maintenance costs

Forensic-Level Detail

  • License plates
  • Facial features
  • Small objects at distance

Enhanced AI Accuracy

  • More pixels = better object detection
  • Reduced false positives

Future-Proof Infrastructure

  • Smart city expansion
  • AI-driven analytics
  • Long-term scalability

Use Cases

  • Smart Cities
  • Transportation
  • Industrial & Critical Infrastructure
  • Large Venues (stadiums, campuses)
