i-PRO B-57-V 5MP Varifocal IR Dome Camera
Overview
The i-PRO B-57-V is a 5MP varifocal IR dome designed for round-the-clock indoor and outdoor surveillance. This model is discontinued and no longer available as new inventory — it is listed here to support troubleshooting, field maintenance, and documentation of existing deployments. If you operate B-57-V units in the field, the technical details below cover core capability and integration pathways. For new deployments, evaluate current i-PRO surveillance offerings.
The B-57-V pairs a 5-megapixel sensor (2560×1920) with a varifocal lens, allowing field-of-view adjustment without lens replacement. Built-in IR illumination handles complete-darkness scenarios — loading docks, corridors, exterior perimeters, entry points. WDR balances mixed-lighting transitions (sunlit doorways, dim interior spaces). ONVIF integration enables deployment in multi-vendor VMS environments.
Compatibility
The B-57-V integrates with ONVIF-compliant video management platforms. Standard H.264, H.265, and MJPEG codecs support industry-standard recording backends. Motion detection and tamper alerts function within any ONVIF Profile S system. For parts, spares, or advanced integration (firmware updates, firmware-level motion settings), contact i-PRO support with the serial number and deployment context.
Installation Notes
Dome form factor provides inherent weather protection suitable for covered exterior and interior mounting. PoE power delivery eliminates separate 24VAC wiring. Varifocal adjustment requires physical lens tuning at installation — confirm field-of-view before final ceiling or wall mount. IR reflectivity in the scene governs effective illumination range; bright surfaces (white walls, light-colored cargo) extend IR reach; dark environments reduce usable range. Day/night IR cut-filter switching is automatic. Ensure adequate PoE switch current budget — exact power draw not quantified in current documentation.
