Hanwha L7012R vs i-PRO S35402-F2LG: Specification Comparison
Both the Hanwha ANV-L7012R and the i-PRO WV-S35402-F2LG are 4MP fixed outdoor vandal dome IP cameras powered by PoE, targeting commercial perimeter and general surveillance installations. The comparison covers imaging performance—sensor size, low-light sensitivity, IR range, and WDR—alongside installation suitability, power envelope, environmental ratings, and system integration capabilities including ONVIF compliance, edge analytics depth, audio support, and on-board storage capacity.

How do the imaging specs compare?
The ANV-L7012R uses a 1/3" CMOS sensor with a 3mm fixed lens delivering a 99° horizontal field of view, while the WV-S35402-F2LG uses a larger 1/2.8" CMOS sensor with a 2.4mm fixed lens and a wider 121° horizontal field of view. The wider sensor and shorter focal length on the i-PRO unit provide a broader scene capture. Both cameras output 2560×1440 at up to 30fps (the i-PRO lists 25/30fps regionally). The i-PRO also supports 4:3 resolutions up to 2048×1536, which the Hanwha spec does not list.
In low light, the Hanwha specifies 0.13 lux color minimum illumination and 0 lux with IR active; the i-PRO specifies 0.19 lux color at 30IRE and 0 lux with IR. The Hanwha is marginally more sensitive in color mode by spec. IR range favors the Hanwha substantially: 20m versus the i-PRO's 14m (high) / 10m (medium). WDR is rated at 120dB on the Hanwha and 132dB maximum on the i-PRO (Super Dynamic level 31). DORI detect range is 44.3m for the Hanwha versus 29.0m for the i-PRO, reflecting the difference in focal length and sensor combination.
What about installation and environment?
Both cameras carry IP66 and IK10 ratings. The i-PRO additionally specifies NEMA 4X and UL Type 4X compliance, and a wind resistance rating of up to 40 m/s (~89 mph), none of which appear in the Hanwha spec. The i-PRO's operating temperature range is broader: -40°C to +50°C versus the Hanwha's -30°C to +55°C. Both are PoE-powered; the Hanwha draws a maximum of 7.5W (IEEE 802.3af Class 3), while the i-PRO draws up to 8.6W (listed as PoE IEEE 802.3af compliant, PoE Class 0 per product attributes). The Hanwha is smaller at ø120.3×91.7mm and 410g; the i-PRO is 109×53×119mm and approximately 475g. Mounting adjustability differs: the Hanwha supports 0°–350° pan, 0°–67° tilt, and 0°–355° rotation; the i-PRO supports pan -45° to +45°, tilt 0° to +90°, and yaw -90° to +90°.
Which fits your VMS and analytics better?
Both cameras support ONVIF; the Hanwha covers Profiles S, G, and T, while the i-PRO covers Profiles G, M, S, and T—adding Profile M (metadata streaming). The Hanwha uses Hanwha's SUNAPI (HTTP API) in addition to ONVIF. The Hanwha's analytics include motion detection (4 polygonal zones), defocus detection, directional detection, tampering, enter/exit, and WiseStream II smart codec. The i-PRO's analytics are AI-based and include AI Motion, Face, People, Vehicle, Mask detection, Occupancy Detection, Scene Change Detection, and AI Sound Classification (gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, glass break)—a meaningfully deeper analytics tier.
Audio support is present on the i-PRO (built-in mic per product attributes; G.726, G.711 compression listed); the Hanwha spec does not list any audio input or output. Edge storage on the Hanwha supports microSD/SDHC/SDXC up to 128GB; the i-PRO supports microSDXC/SDHC/SD up to 512GB. The i-PRO also lists SFTP and MQTT protocol support not found in the Hanwha spec. The i-PRO supports up to 14 simultaneous users; the Hanwha supports unicast up to 6 users plus multicast.
Which should you choose: the L7012R or the S35402-F2LG?
Our take: The WV-S35402-F2LG is the stronger choice when AI-based video analytics, audio detection, or a broader environmental certification portfolio are the primary requirements. Its 132dB WDR exceeds the Hanwha's 120dB, its NEMA 4X / UL Type 4X ratings and -40°C lower operating limit address harsher North American code and climate requirements, and its AI analytics stack—covering face, people, vehicle, mask, and AI sound classification—goes substantially beyond the Hanwha's rule-based analytics. It also supports up to 512GB edge storage versus 128GB and adds ONVIF Profile M. The ANV-L7012R is the stronger choice when IR detection range matters: its 20m IR versus the i-PRO's 14m (high) is a meaningful gap for open-area coverage. It also specifies a lower color minimum illumination (0.13 lux vs 0.19 lux) and a longer DORI detect range (44.3m vs 29.0m). The Hanwha carries a 3-year warranty; the i-PRO carries a 5-year warranty.

It also supports up to 512GB edge storage versus 128GB and adds ONVIF Profile M. The ANV-L7012R is the stronger choice when IR detection range matters: its 20m IR versus the i-PRO's 14m (high) is a meaningful gap for open-area coverage. It also specifies a lower color minimum illumination (0.13 lux vs 0.19 lux) and a longer DORI detect range (44.3m vs 29.0m). The Hanwha carries a 3-year warranty; the i-PRO carries a 5-year warranty.
Is the ANV-L7012R or WV-S35402-F2LG better for low-light performance?
By spec, the ANV-L7012R has a lower color minimum illumination at 0.13 lux versus the WV-S35402-F2LG's 0.19 lux at 30IRE, giving it a marginal edge in color sensitivity. The ANV-L7012R also has a longer IR range at 20m versus the i-PRO's 14m (high) / 10m (medium). Both cameras reach 0 lux with IR active.
Does either camera support audio, and does it matter for my installation?
The i-PRO WV-S35402-F2LG lists a built-in microphone and supports G.726 and G.711 audio compression, plus AI Sound Classification for gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, and glass break detection. The Hanwha ANV-L7012R spec does not list any audio input or output capability. If audio detection or recording is a project requirement, only the i-PRO meets it based on the provided specifications.
Which camera is better suited for cold-climate outdoor deployments?
The i-PRO WV-S35402-F2LG is rated for operation down to -40°C and additionally carries NEMA 4X and UL Type 4X enclosure certifications, as well as a wind resistance rating of up to 40 m/s (~89 mph). The Hanwha ANV-L7012R is rated to -30°C and holds IP66 and IK10 ratings. For deployments in extreme cold or where NEMA 4X compliance is required by code, the i-PRO has the broader environmental certification coverage.
