Hanwha PNM-12082RVD vs i-PRO X22700-V2L

CAMERA COMPARISON

Hanwha PNM-12082RVD vs i-PRO X22700-V2L: Specification Comparison

Both the Hanwha PNM-12082RVD and the i-PRO WV-X22700-V2L are 12MP wired dome cameras with motorized varifocal lenses, PoE+ power, IK10 vandal resistance, built-in IR illumination, and ONVIF compatibility. Installers and IT buyers evaluating either unit are comparing two dual-sensor or single-sensor 12MP outdoor/indoor fixed domes at a similar resolution tier, making a direct cross-shop comparison meaningful. Key differentiators include outdoor versus indoor rating, frame rate, IR range, AI analytics depth, and audio architecture.



How do the imaging specs compare?

The PNM-12082RVD uses two 1/2.8-inch CMOS sensors (2-channel), each delivering 3328×1872 at up to 15 fps, with a motorized varifocal lens spanning 3.54–6.69 mm (1.9x zoom) and a horizontal field of view of 96°–47°. Its maximum aperture is F1.67 (Wide) to F2.64 (Tele), minimum illumination is 0.16 lux in color and 0 lux with IR, IR reach is 25 m (82 ft) based on scene, and WDR is rated at 120 dB (extremeWDR). The WV-X22700-V2L uses a single approx. 1/1.8-inch CMOS sensor, delivers 12MP at 30 fps, employs a motorized varifocal lens of 4.3–8.6 mm (2.0x optical zoom, extendable to 12x digital extra zoom), with a horizontal FOV of 52°–101°, maximum aperture F1.5 (Wide) to F2.4 (Tele), minimum illumination of 0.03 lux (B&W with IR), IR range of 70 m (230 ft), and Super Dynamic WDR rated at up to 132 dB.

On DORI metrics both cameras are closely matched at Tele: the PNM-12082RVD detects to 153.1 m and identifies to 15.3 m (Tele), while the WV-X22700-V2L detects to 157.5 m and identifies to 15.7 m (Tele)—a negligible difference. The WV-X22700-V2L holds a clear advantage in low-light performance (0.03 lux vs. 0.16 lux), IR illumination range (70 m vs. 25 m), frame rate (30 fps vs. 15 fps), WDR ceiling (132 dB vs. 120 dB), and sensor size (approx. 1/1.8-inch vs. 1/2.8-inch). The PNM-12082RVD's dual-sensor design allows simultaneous coverage of two independent zones, which the single-sensor WV-X22700-V2L cannot replicate. The i-PRO unit also adds a built-in gyro-based image stabilizer (on/off at 30 fps); no image stabilizer is listed in the Hanwha specs.


What about installation and environment?

The PNM-12082RVD is rated IP66, IP67, NEMA 4X, and IK10, and is explicitly specified for outdoor use with an operating temperature range of −40°C to +55°C. It is powered exclusively by PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at, Class 4), consuming up to 18.3 W (typical 13.5 W). Physical dimensions are 215 mm (W) × 135 mm (D) × 93.2 mm (H) and weight is 1,330 g. It includes a micro USB Type-B port for 1280×720 installation assistance, compatible conduit knockouts for ½" (M20) conduit, and supports single, double, 4" octagon, and 4" square gang boxes. Optional I/O expansion is available via the SPM-4210 accessory box.

The WV-X22700-V2L is rated IP67 and IK10 but carries no NEMA 4X rating per the provided specs, and its environment rating is listed as Indoor. Operating temperature is −10°C to +50°C (0°C to +50°C when powered). It accepts DC 12 V (14.2 W) or PoE+ (14.0 W), also PoE+ Class 4. Dimensions are ø129.5 mm × 102.5 mm (H) and weight is approximately 820 g—roughly 38% lighter than the Hanwha. The i-PRO unit includes built-in 3× alarm inputs, 1× alarm output, and 1× AUX output on-camera; alarm I/O on the Hanwha requires the optional SPM-4210 I/O box.


Which fits your VMS and analytics better?

The PNM-12082RVD supports ONVIF Profile S and T, Hanwha SUNAPI (HTTP API), and an open platform. Edge analytics included without license are: defocus detection, motion detection (8-zone polygonal), tampering, virtual line crossing/direction, virtual area loitering/enter/exit. Audio detection and sound classification require the optional SPM-4210 I/O box; alarm I/O is also accessory-dependent. On-board storage is a single microSD/SDHC/SDXC slot up to 512 GB. Security credentials include TPM 2.0 (FIPS 140-2 Level 2), 802.1X (EAP-TLS/LEAP/PEAP), and Hanwha Root CA pre-installed.

The WV-X22700-V2L supports ONVIF Profile G, S, T, and M—a broader profile set. Built-in AI analytics include AI Video Motion, Face Detection, People Detection, Vehicle Detection, Non-Mask Detection, and Occupancy Detection, plus AI Sound Classification (gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, glass break) without requiring an external accessory. Audio I/O is native: 3.5 mm stereo input jack and 3.5 mm stereo output jack are on-camera, with G.726, G.711, and AAC-LC compression. On-board storage supports microSD up to 512 GB (same ceiling). Security is rated FIPS 140-2 Level 3 (one level above the Hanwha's Level 2). The simultaneous user count is specified at up to 14; the Hanwha lists up to 20 unicast users.


Which should you choose: the PNM-12082RVD or the X22700-V2L?

Our take: The PNM-12082RVD is the stronger choice when a single installation must monitor two physically separated zones simultaneously, thanks to its dual 1/2.8-inch sensor architecture—a capability the single-sensor WV-X22700-V2L cannot match. It also operates in harsher outdoor conditions: −40°C vs. −10°C lower operating limit, NEMA 4X certification absent from the i-PRO spec sheet, and a wider physical footprint suited for outdoor pendant or surface mounts. Conversely, the WV-X22700-V2L outperforms on nearly every other imaging metric: 0.03 lux minimum illumination vs. 0.16 lux, 70 m IR range vs. 25 m, 30 fps vs. 15 fps, and 132 dB Super Dynamic WDR vs. 120 dB extremeWDR. It also ships with richer built-in AI analytics (face, people, vehicle, non-mask, occupancy), native on-camera audio I/O, ONVIF Profile M, and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 security without accessories. Choose the PNM-12082RVD for dual-zone outdoor deployments in extreme temperatures; choose the WV-X22700-V2L for single-zone indoor or mild-outdoor installations demanding maximum low-light performance and native AI.

It also ships with richer built-in AI analytics (face, people, vehicle, non-mask, occupancy), native on-camera audio I/O, ONVIF Profile M, and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 security without accessories. Choose the PNM-12082RVD for dual-zone outdoor deployments in extreme temperatures; choose the WV-X22700-V2L for single-zone indoor or mild-outdoor installations demanding maximum low-light performance and native AI.

Is the PNM-12082RVD or WV-X22700-V2L better for low-light performance?

The WV-X22700-V2L has the advantage on low light. Its minimum illumination is 0.03 lux (B&W with IR) versus 0.16 lux color (0 lux IR) on the PNM-12082RVD, its IR illuminator reaches 70 m (230 ft) compared to 25 m (82 ft) scene-dependent on the Hanwha, and its larger approx. 1/1.8-inch sensor captures more light than the 1/2.8-inch sensors in the Hanwha. The i-PRO unit also delivers 30 fps in low light versus 15 fps on the Hanwha.

Can either camera handle extreme cold or outdoor exposure?

The PNM-12082RVD is rated for outdoor use with an operating temperature down to −40°C, IP66, IP67, NEMA 4X, and IK10 certification. The WV-X22700-V2L is rated IP67 and IK10 but is listed as an indoor camera with a lower operating temperature floor of −10°C (0°C when powered) and no NEMA 4X rating in the provided specifications. For extreme cold or fully exposed outdoor installations, the Hanwha specification is more suitable.

Do both cameras include built-in audio, and do they need external accessories for alarm I/O?

The WV-X22700-V2L has native audio input (3.5 mm stereo jack) and audio output (3.5 mm stereo jack) built into the camera body, along with 3 alarm inputs, 1 alarm output, and 1 AUX output. The PNM-12082RVD requires the optional SPM-4210 I/O box to add audio input, audio output, and alarm I/O; none of these are built into the camera itself.
