Hanwha L6082R vs i-PRO S1536LA: Specification Comparison
Both the Hanwha ANO-L6082R and the i-PRO WV-S1536LA are 2MP fixed outdoor bullet IP cameras with motorized varifocal lenses, PoE power, and IR night vision—placing them squarely in the same cross-shop category for perimeter and general surveillance installations. This comparison covers imaging performance, environmental and installation characteristics, and VMS/analytics integration to help integrators and IT buyers determine which unit better fits a given deployment scenario.

How do the imaging specs compare?
Both cameras share a 1/2.8" CMOS sensor and deliver 1920×1080 resolution, but diverge on frame rate and low-light capability. The i-PRO WV-S1536LA runs at 60fps versus the Hanwha ANO-L6082R's 30fps cap—a meaningful difference for capturing fast motion such as vehicle traffic or forced-entry events. On minimum illumination, the S1536LA is substantially more sensitive: 0.007 lux color (30IRE) and 0.005 lux B&W (50IRE, F1.3), compared to the L6082R's 0.03 lux color with IR off. The S1536LA also carries a higher specified dynamic range—144dB Super Dynamic versus the L6082R's 120dB WDR—giving it a wider margin in high-contrast scenes such as entry canopies with direct sunlight.
On IR illumination, the gap is even wider: the S1536LA reaches 70m at 30IRE (50m at 50IRE), while the L6082R is specified at 30m. The L6082R's lens spans 3.3–10.3mm (3.1×, F1.6–F3.3); the S1536LA covers 2.9–9mm (3.1× optical, F1.3–F2.5), with a wider aperture at F1.3 on the wide end contributing to its lower-light advantage. The L6082R's DORI Detect range reaches 140.4m tele; the S1536LA reaches 114.8m tele—the L6082R has a slight edge on tele detection range per DORI specification. The S1536LA additionally offers an extra-zoom function (up to 9.3× at 640×360 resolution), which the L6082R does not specify.
What about installation and environment?
The i-PRO WV-S1536LA carries IP66, NEMA 4X, Type 4X, and IK10 ratings, along with an anti-condensation system (Temish element, heater, and moisture absorption gel) and wind resistance up to 40m/s (~89mph). Its operating temperature range spans -40°C to +60°C (power-on from -30°C). The Hanwha ANO-L6082R is rated IP66 only—no IK impact rating is specified in the provided data—and operates from -30°C to +55°C. For installations subject to physical impact, coastal wind loads, or severe condensation, the S1536LA's additional certifications provide a documented advantage.
Both cameras are PoE 802.3af-powered. The L6082R draws a maximum of 7.0W (typical 5.0W); the S1536LA draws up to 9.1W. The L6082R is a compact plastic housing (ø78×262mm, 390g); the S1536LA is a larger aluminum/resin/polycarbonate unit (ø133×133×383mm, 2.4kg). The size and weight difference is significant for bracket selection and for installations where a lower profile is required. Both offer wall-mount configurations; the S1536LA also specifies ceiling-mount pan/tilt/yaw adjustment angles explicitly (±180° pan, 0–100° tilt ceiling; ±100° tilt, ±190° yaw wall).
Which fits your VMS and analytics better?
Both cameras support ONVIF Profile S, G, and T, providing broad VMS compatibility. The L6082R adds ONVIF Profile G to its listed S/G/T set; the S1536LA lists Profiles G, M, S, and T—adding Profile M (metadata streaming). The L6082R's on-board analytics include motion detection, tamper detection, virtual area (intrusion/enter/exit), and virtual line (crossing/direction). The S1536LA specifies AI video analytics with 8 detection modes, plus AI sound classification covering gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, and glass break—capabilities not specified for the L6082R. The S1536LA also includes audio I/O hardware (3.5mm stereo mic input and output jacks, alarm I/O terminals: 3× alarm IN, 1× alarm OUT, 1× AUX OUT); the L6082R does not specify built-in audio input/output hardware.
For edge storage, the L6082R supports microSD/SDHC up to 32GB; the S1536LA supports microSD up to 512GB—a 16× increase in local recording capacity. The S1536LA also specifies FIPS 140-2 Level 3 security compliance, SFTP and MQTT protocol support, and LLDP—none of which appear in the L6082R's spec set. The L6082R specifies SUNAPI (Hanwha HTTP API), AES encryption, SD card partition encryption, and 802.1X (EAP-TLS/LEAP/PEAP). Both support HTTPS and SRTP. The S1536LA supports up to 14 simultaneous users; the L6082R supports 6 unicast users plus multicast.
Which should you choose: the L6082R or the S1536LA?
Our take: The WV-S1536LA is the stronger choice when low-light sensitivity, higher frame rates, physical impact resistance, and AI-driven analytics are primary requirements. Key spec deltas: the S1536LA achieves 0.007 lux color versus the L6082R's 0.03 lux (roughly 4× more sensitive), delivers 60fps versus 30fps, and extends IR coverage to 70m versus 30m—all directly relevant to perimeter and parking-lot deployments where motion blur and night identification matter. Its IK10 rating and -40°C cold-start temperature add resilience the L6082R does not specify. The L6082R is a valid choice when budget, installation footprint, or a Hanwha/SUNAPI ecosystem is the governing constraint, and where 30m IR range and 30fps suffice. Hanwha VMS environments leveraging WiseStream II and SUNAPI integration should weigh the L6082R's native platform fit against the S1536LA's broader hardware capability set.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which should you choose: the L6082R or the S1536LA?
The WV-S1536LA is the stronger choice when low-light sensitivity, higher frame rates, physical impact resistance, and AI-driven analytics are primary requirements. Key spec deltas: the S1536LA achieves 0.007 lux color versus the L6082R's 0.03 lux (roughly 4× more sensitive), delivers 60fps versus 30fps, and extends IR coverage to 70m versus 30m—all directly relevant to perimeter and parking-lot deployments where motion blur and night identification matter. Its IK10 rating and -40°C cold-start temperature add resilience the L6082R does not specify. The L6082R is a valid choice when budget, installation footprint, or a Hanwha/SUNAPI ecosystem is the governing constraint, and where 30m IR range and 30fps suffice. Hanwha VMS environments leveraging WiseStream II and SUNAPI integration should weigh the L6082R's native platform fit against the S1536LA's broader hardware capability set.
Is the L6082R or S1536LA better for low-light and night performance?
Per the provided specifications, the S1536LA has a clear advantage: its minimum illumination is 0.007 lux color (30IRE) versus the L6082R's 0.03 lux color, and its IR illumination range is specified at 70m (30IRE) versus the L6082R's 30m. The S1536LA also has a wider maximum aperture (F1.3 wide versus F1.6 wide on the L6082R), contributing to its lower-light capability in color mode.
Can either camera survive vandalism or physical impact?
The i-PRO WV-S1536LA is rated IK10 (per IEC 62262), meaning it is tested to resist impact. The Hanwha ANO-L6082R's provided specifications do not include an IK impact rating. Both carry IP66 ingress protection. For installations where the camera housing may be subject to deliberate or accidental physical impact—such as parking structures or public-access areas—the S1536LA's IK10 rating is a documented differentiator.
Which camera offers more on-board edge storage?
The i-PRO WV-S1536LA supports microSD cards up to 512GB. The Hanwha ANO-L6082R supports microSD/SDHC up to 32GB. If extended local recording without a separate NVR is required—for example, in SD-WAN or bandwidth-constrained sites—the S1536LA's 512GB capacity provides substantially more local buffer.
