i-PRO WV-U15501-V3L 5MP Outdoor IR Bullet
The i-PRO WV-U15501-V3L is a 5MP outdoor bullet camera purpose-built for perimeter and remote-site surveillance where weatherproofing and night vision are non-negotiable. The 3.2x optical zoom lens delivers flexible framing for varied standoff distances — critical when covering parking lots, loading docks, or fence lines from a single mounting point. Built-in IR LEDs (28m/92ft at 30IRE) provide usable monochrome footage in total darkness without external lighting infrastructure.
Overview
This camera solves the integration problem: ONVIF Profile G/S/T compliance ensures seamless connection to most third-party VMS and NVR systems. H.265/H.264/MJPEG codec flexibility adapts to your existing network storage strategy — H.265 cuts bandwidth roughly in half versus H.264 on 24/7 recording, a meaningful reduction at multi-camera scale. The WV-U15501-V3L draws under 13W via standard 802.3af PoE, so it won't strain your switch's power budget. No separate power supply needed.
Minimum illumination reaches 0 lux (monochrome, IR on) for total-darkness scenarios. Maximum dynamic range of 120 dB (with Super Dynamic enabled) preserves usable detail in mixed lighting — sun-blasted perimeter fence plus dim loading dock entrance — without HDR halo artifacts that confuse motion analytics. IP66 weatherproofing handles direct rain and dust; IK10 impact rating withstands vandalism and accidental contact. Operating temperature range (-30°C to +50°C) supports arctic to desert deployments without performance loss.
Compatibility
The WV-U15501-V3L integrates with any ONVIF-compliant NVR or VMS platform supporting Profile G, S, or T (Milestone, Genetec, Pelco, Hanwha, etc.). PoE delivery via standard gigabit PoE switches eliminates dedicated power runs. Audio input capability enables integration with access control or intercom systems where incident logging or two-way communication is needed. Video motion detection (VMD) with 4 selectable areas supports rule-based alerting and forensic filtering in most VMS applications.
NDAA-compliant design with built-in FIPS 140-3 Level 3 Certified SecureElement (EdgeLock® SE052F) meets federal procurement requirements. The compact bullet form factor and standard mounting hardware fit most outdoor enclosures and wall-mounted security brackets without modification.
Installation Notes
Operating temperature range (-30°C to +50°C) means deployment from arctic sites to desert perimeters. IP66 weatherproofing handles direct rain and dust exposure; IK10 rating withstands vandalism and accidental impact. Standard RJ-45 PoE connection — confirm your PoE switch supplies 802.3af (13W minimum) per camera. Zoom adjustment and focus are IP-accessible post-mount, eliminating physical access needs in high-risk locations.
