One camera
One compatible commercial IP camera mounts directly to a single exterior ADU—no adapter plate required.
Technical guide · Active Deterrence Unit
Response built around the camera.
The Action-CS Active Deterrence Unit adds visible, audible, automated, and live response to commercial IP surveillance systems—while preserving the cameras, analytics, VMS, and monitoring relationships already in place.
Discuss an ADU deploymentCommercial-camera flexibility.
Action-CS is designed to integrate with most commercial-grade IP camera systems, allowing teams to add deterrence and response capabilities while preserving their preferred camera platform.
Camera formsTurret, bullet, PTZ, speed dome, and multi-lens commercial IP cameras
Camera capacityExterior: one compatible camera mounts directly to one ADU. The same multi-camera adapter plate supports either two or three compatible cameras on that ADU. Interior: single camera.
Adapter plates6–12 inch adapter plates with 1.5-inch NPT options
System connectionsVMS platforms, camera analytics, SIP, MQTT, open API, I/O, ONVIF, and webhooks
Local systemsEmbedded 4- and 8-channel options support on-premise deployments
Lighting, audio, and power.
Configure the ADU around the site’s response plan—from visible deterrence and prerecorded messages to live communication and higher-draw cameras.
Exterior lightingFull RGB spectrum with brightness adjustable from 10–100%
Interior lightingThree integrated 18W red/blue lights with dual 3W emitters
Exterior audioFour IP67 speakers with 60W amplified output; optional directional bullhorn for wider-area communication
Interior audio60W stereo amplifier supporting up to four speakers, plus an omnidirectional microphone for two-way talk
Recorded messagesSupports up to 50 prerecorded messages; Audio Card options add text-to-speech, custom voices, rotating pools, rules, and remote management
Standard power platform90W
Ultra Board optionOptional upgrade that increases available power output, supports a camera requiring up to 90W, and supports compatible camera runs up to 700 feet.
One ADU. One to three cameras.
Mount one compatible camera directly to the exterior ADU. When broader coverage is needed, add the multi-camera adapter plate to support either two or three compatible cameras on that same ADU.
Multi-camera adapter plate
Add the adapter plate when the deployment needs more than one camera on the same exterior ADU.
Multi-directional coverage
Use two cameras to cover a corner, or three cameras for up to 270° of combined coverage. Actual coverage depends on camera lens and positioning.
Mounting and deployment notes.
The correct mounting hardware depends on the surface, camera form, cable path, and environmental exposure. Final configuration should be confirmed with Action-CS before ordering.
Wall mounting
Uses the Action-CS proprietary wall mount for compatible installations.
Pole and corner mounting
Requires the appropriate adapter selected for the site and camera assembly.
Included deployment hardware: PoE adapters are included with retro and backpack kits. Exact adapters, brackets, cabling, speaker configuration, and camera compatibility should be reviewed for each project.
