ACTi's new TCM-7011 outdoor dome camera

"Weatherproof" and "vandal proof" are two main keywords for an outdoor dome camera. Although ACTi modestly rates its weatherproof cameras with IP66 rating, you will get much more than that – TCM-7011 dome camera can actually dive under water for unlimited amount of time and keep functioning perfectly.

ACTi modestly calls the TCM-7011 as vandal proof, however, you can even use your car to drive over it, and nothing will happen to it – it will keep shooting the video as you drive over it.

Two other dome cameras, ACM-7411 and TCM-7411 are sharing the same mechanical design; therefore they have the same physical capabilities as TCM-7011.
