Hanwha C7083R vs i-PRO S35402-F2L

CAMERA COMPARISON

Hanwha C7083R vs i-PRO S35402-F2L: Specification Comparison

Both the Hanwha XNV-C7083R and the i-PRO WV-S35402-F2L are 4MP IP66/IK10-rated outdoor vandal dome cameras designed for perimeter surveillance, powered over Ethernet, and offering on-device AI analytics. They compete in the same resolution class and share a fixed-dome form factor, making them genuine cross-shop candidates for integrators evaluating mid-range AI-capable outdoor domes. Key differentiators span lens architecture, IR range, dynamic range ceiling, frame rate, and power budget.



How do the imaging specs compare?

Both cameras use a 1/2.8" progressive CMOS sensor at 4MP resolution, though their output pixels differ slightly: the C7083R delivers 2592×1520 while the S35402-F2L delivers 2688×1520. The C7083R's motorized varifocal lens spans 2.8–10mm (3.6× zoom, F1.4–F3.0) with remote focus control, while the S35402-F2L uses a fixed 2.4mm lens at F2.1 with a wider 121° horizontal FOV — better for broad scene coverage but without any zoom flexibility. The C7083R's maximum aperture of F1.4 at wide end is significantly faster than the S35402-F2L's fixed F2.1, which contributes to its lower minimum color illumination of 0.038 Lux versus 0.06 Lux (B&W, 50IRE) for the S35402-F2L.

The WDR gap is substantial: the C7083R specifies 120dB extremeWDR, while the S35402-F2L specifies 132dB maximum (Super Dynamic On, Level 31). IR range favors the C7083R significantly — WiseIR at 40m (131ft) versus the S35402-F2L's 14m (46ft) at 30IRE. The C7083R also supports 60fps at 4MP; the S35402-F2L's frame rate is not stated as a numeric maximum at full resolution in the provided specs. The C7083R additionally includes a built-in gyro-based digital image stabilizer, a spec absent for the S35402-F2L.


What about installation and environment?

Both cameras carry IP66, NEMA 4X, and IK10 ratings and operate down to -40°C. The C7083R's upper operating limit is +55°C versus +50°C for the S35402-F2L. Both accept PoE (IEEE 802.3af); however, the C7083R is rated PoE Class 3 at up to 12.95W, while the S35402-F2L draws a maximum of 8.6W at PoE Class 0 — a meaningful difference where power budgets are tight or injectors are shared. The C7083R also accepts 12VDC as an alternative, which the S35402-F2L specs do not mention. The S35402-F2L is considerably lighter at approximately 475g versus 1,450g for the C7083R, and smaller (109×53×119mm vs ø160×118mm), which can matter on lighter-duty mounts or ceiling tiles. The S35402-F2L additionally specifies wind resistance up to 40m/s (approx. 89mph), a figure not provided for the C7083R.

The C7083R provides pan 0°–360°, tilt -45°–75°, and rotate 0°–355° adjustment ranges. The S35402-F2L specifies pan -45°–+45°, tilt 0°–+90°, yaw -90°–+90°. The C7083R includes a Micro USB Type B video output (1280×720) for installation alignment, a feature not listed for the S35402-F2L. The C7083R also supports 12.7mm (1/2") conduit and standard gang boxes; conduit compatibility is not specified for the S35402-F2L.


Which fits your VMS and analytics better?

Both cameras support ONVIF Profile G/M/S/T and H.265/H.264 compression. The C7083R adds MJPEG and also supports WiseStream II/III smart codec for adaptive bitrate reduction. The C7083R lists an extensive protocol stack including SRTP, MQTT, LLDP, and CDP; the S35402-F2L similarly supports MQTT, SFTP, and LLDP, with full dual-stack IPv4/IPv6. The C7083R supports up to 20 unicast users and up to 10 streaming profiles; the S35402-F2L supports up to 14 simultaneous users. The S35402-F2L specifies FIPS 140-2 Level 3 security compliance, a certification not listed for the C7083R, which may be a decisive factor for government or high-security deployments.

On AI analytics, the C7083R classifies persons, faces, vehicles (with sub-type: car/bus/truck/motorcycle/bicycle), and license plates, and supports business intelligence features including people counting, queue management, and heatmaps, plus up to 8 polygonal motion detection zones and 32 privacy mask zones. The S35402-F2L provides AI people, vehicle, and face detection plus AI sound classification (gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, glass break) and 4 VMD areas with up to 8 privacy zones. Audio input on the C7083R is selectable mic/line-in with line out; the S35402-F2L lists audio detection and sound classification but the physical audio interface details (mic type, line-in) are not fully specified in the provided specs. Both support microSD/SDHC/SDXC up to 512GB edge storage.


Which should you choose: the C7083R or the S35402-F2L?

Our take: The C7083R is the stronger choice when long IR range, zoom flexibility, or advanced business intelligence analytics are required. Its 40m WiseIR range triples the S35402-F2L's 14m, its motorized 2.8–10mm varifocal lens provides 3.6× optical zoom the fixed 2.4mm S35402-F2L cannot match, and its AI analytics extend to license plate recognition and heatmapping absent from the S35402-F2L's spec sheet. Conversely, the S35402-F2L draws only 8.6W versus 12.95W, is roughly one-third the weight (475g vs 1,450g), specifies FIPS 140-2 Level 3 security compliance, and delivers a specified 132dB dynamic range ceiling versus 120dB on the C7083R. Choose the S35402-F2L where power-per-port is constrained, FIPS compliance is mandated, or a compact lightweight enclosure is needed; choose the C7083R where IR throw distance, remote lens adjustment, or deeper AI classification are the priority.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which should you choose: the C7083R or the S35402-F2L?

The C7083R is the stronger choice when long IR range, zoom flexibility, or advanced business intelligence analytics are required. Its 40m WiseIR range triples the S35402-F2L's 14m, its motorized 2.8–10mm varifocal lens provides 3.6× optical zoom the fixed 2.4mm S35402-F2L cannot match, and its AI analytics extend to license plate recognition and heatmapping absent from the S35402-F2L's spec sheet. Conversely, the S35402-F2L draws only 8.6W versus 12.95W, is roughly one-third the weight (475g vs 1,450g), specifies FIPS 140-2 Level 3 security compliance, and delivers a specified 132dB dynamic range ceiling versus 120dB on the C7083R. Choose the S35402-F2L where power-per-port is constrained, FIPS compliance is mandated, or a compact lightweight enclosure is needed; choose the C7083R where IR throw distance, remote lens adjustment, or deeper AI classification are the priority.

Is the C7083R or S35402-F2L better for low-light performance?

The C7083R specifies 0.038 Lux minimum color illumination and 0 Lux with IR active, backed by a 40m IR range. The S35402-F2L specifies 0.06 Lux (B&W, 50IRE) with IR active at 14m. On both IR throw distance and stated minimum illumination, the C7083R has the advantage; however, the S35402-F2L specifies a maximum dynamic range of 132dB versus 120dB on the C7083R, which benefits high-contrast daytime scenes.

Which camera is easier to install on a low-power PoE switch?

The S35402-F2L draws a maximum of 8.6W at PoE Class 0, well within what most 802.3af ports budget. The C7083R draws up to 12.95W at PoE Class 3, which is within 802.3af limits (15.4W) but consumes more per-port budget. If you are running many cameras on a switch with a fixed total power envelope, the S35402-F2L gives more headroom per port.

Does either camera meet FIPS security requirements for government installations?

The i-PRO S35402-F2L specifies FIPS 140-2 Level 3 compliance in its provided specifications. The Hanwha XNV-C7083R's provided specifications do not list any FIPS certification. Buyers with federal or high-security mandates requiring FIPS 140-2 validation should verify current certification status directly with the manufacturer before specifying either product.
