Hanwha PNM-7082RVD vs i-PRO S35402-F2L: Specification Comparison
Both the Hanwha PNM-7082RVD and the i-PRO WV-S35402-F2L are 4MP outdoor IP dome cameras targeting perimeter and general surveillance in the same resolution class. The Hanwha delivers its 4MP total output via a dual 2MP sensor architecture with a motorized varifocal lens, while the i-PRO uses a single 4MP sensor behind a fixed wide-angle lens. Buyers comparing these will weigh optical flexibility and WDR performance against i-PRO's higher native resolution frame, lower power draw, on-device AI sound classification, and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 security posture.

How do the imaging specs compare?
The PNM-7082RVD uses two 1/2.8-inch CMOS sensors each producing 1920×1080 at 30fps, yielding a combined 4MP panoramic output. Its motorized varifocal lens spans 3–6mm (2× zoom) at F2.2–F3.1, giving a horizontal field of view that narrows from 107° to 56° — useful when installers need to tune coverage post-mount without swapping optics. Minimum illumination is rated at 0.035 Lux color / 0 Lux with IR active, and the on-board IR illuminates to 15m typical / 25m scene-dependent. Wide dynamic range is specified at 120dB (extremeWDR). The dual-sensor design means each channel is 2MP, not a single 4MP frame.
The WV-S35402-F2L uses a single approx. 1/2.8-inch CMOS producing a unified 2688×1520 frame — a true 4MP image from one sensor. Its fixed 2.4mm lens delivers a 121° horizontal field of view with no optical zoom capability; a digital extra zoom of up to 4× is available only at reduced resolution (640×360). Minimum illumination is 0.06 Lux (B&W, 50IRE) — roughly 1.7× higher threshold than the Hanwha in color mode, though direct lux comparisons across manufacturers require caution. IR range is specified at 14m (30IRE) / 10m (50IRE), shorter than the Hanwha's 25m scene figure. Dynamic range peaks at 132dB with Super Dynamic level 31 enabled, which is 12dB above the Hanwha's 120dB rating.
What about installation and environment?
Both cameras share IP66 and IK10 ratings and NEMA 4X compliance, making them suitable for exposed outdoor installations subject to vandalism or wash-down. The Hanwha adds an IP67 listing and certifies to IEC/EN 62262 IK10 and IEC/EN 60529 IP66/67. Operating temperature ranges differ: the PNM-7082RVD is rated –40°C to +55°C, while the WV-S35402-F2L is rated –40°C to +50°C (with a power-on minimum of –20°C noted in specs). The Hanwha therefore offers a 5°C wider upper thermal envelope and no power-on cold restriction per its published spec.
Power requirements diverge meaningfully. The Hanwha requires PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at, Class 4) with a maximum draw of 17W (typical 12.5W), meaning switches and injectors must support 802.3at. The i-PRO draws a maximum of 8.6W on standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af, Class 0), roughly half the power budget — an advantage in switch-port density or battery-backup runtime calculations. Physical size also differs: the Hanwha is a larger dome at 215×135×93.2mm and 1,330g versus the i-PRO at 109×119×53mm and approximately 475g, which affects mounting hardware choices and ceiling/wall load.
Which fits your VMS and analytics better?
The PNM-7082RVD supports ONVIF Profile S/T and Hanwha's SUNAPI (HTTP API). Edge analytics include motion detection, virtual line/direction crossing, intrusion, and loitering detection. Audio input and output are available only via the optional SPM-4210 I/O box — audio is not built-in. Alarm I/O likewise requires that external module. On-board storage accepts a single microSD/SDHC/SDXC card up to 512GB. Security credentials include TPM 2.0 rated FIPS 140-2 Level 2 and 802.1X with EAP-TLS/LEAP/PEAP. Up to 10 simultaneous streams with 20 unicast users are supported.
The WV-S35402-F2L supports ONVIF Profile G/M/S/T — a broader profile set that adds recording (G) and metadata (M) support relevant to many enterprise VMSs. Its on-device AI analytics cover people, vehicle, and face detection, plus AI sound classification selectable among gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, and glass break — all without an external module, and the camera includes a built-in microphone. Audio compression supports G.726, G.711, and additional codecs. Security is rated FIPS 140-2 Level 3, one level above the Hanwha. Simultaneous users cap at 14. Edge storage is microSD/SDHC/SDXC up to 512GB, matching the Hanwha.
Which should you choose: the PNM-7082RVD or the S35402-F2L?
Our take: The WV-S35402-F2L is the stronger choice when a single cohesive 4MP frame, broader ONVIF profile support (G/M/S/T), built-in AI sound classification, and lower power consumption are the deciding factors. Its 132dB Super Dynamic range exceeds the Hanwha's 120dB extremeWDR by 12dB, its 8.6W PoE draw is roughly half the Hanwha's 17W PoE+ requirement, and its FIPS 140-2 Level 3 security posture is one level higher than the Hanwha's Level 2. Conversely, the PNM-7082RVD is the stronger choice when optical zoom flexibility matters: its 3–6mm motorized varifocal lens lets installers adjust coverage angle (107° to 56°) post-mount without a truck roll, and its IR reach of up to 25m exceeds the i-PRO's 14m. Choose the Hanwha for sites requiring adjustable coverage or longer IR throw; choose the i-PRO for fixed wide-angle coverage where lower PoE power budget, richer ONVIF metadata profiles, or built-in audio analytics are priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which should you choose: the PNM-7082RVD or the S35402-F2L?
The WV-S35402-F2L is the stronger choice when a single cohesive 4MP frame, broader ONVIF profile support (G/M/S/T), built-in AI sound classification, and lower power consumption are the deciding factors. Its 132dB Super Dynamic range exceeds the Hanwha's 120dB extremeWDR by 12dB, its 8.6W PoE draw is roughly half the Hanwha's 17W PoE+ requirement, and its FIPS 140-2 Level 3 security posture is one level higher than the Hanwha's Level 2. Conversely, the PNM-7082RVD is the stronger choice when optical zoom flexibility matters: its 3–6mm motorized varifocal lens lets installers adjust coverage angle (107° to 56°) post-mount without a truck roll, and its IR reach of up to 25m exceeds the i-PRO's 14m. Choose the Hanwha for sites requiring adjustable coverage or longer IR throw; choose the i-PRO for fixed wide-angle coverage where lower PoE power budget, richer ONVIF metadata profiles, or built-in audio analytics are priorities.
Is the PNM-7082RVD or WV-S35402-F2L better for low-light performance?
The PNM-7082RVD is rated at 0.035 Lux color / 0 Lux with IR active, and its IR illuminators reach up to 25m in favorable scenes. The WV-S35402-F2L is rated at 0.06 Lux (B&W, 50IRE) with IR range of 14m at 30IRE. On the published specs, the Hanwha has a lower minimum illumination threshold and longer IR reach, giving it an advantage in deeper-low-light or longer-range IR applications. However, lux ratings are measured under different conditions by each manufacturer, so real-world results should be validated on-site.
Does my PoE switch need to support PoE+ for either of these cameras?
Yes, for the PNM-7082RVD: it requires PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at, Class 4) with up to 17W maximum draw — a standard 802.3af port will not supply sufficient power. The WV-S35402-F2L requires only standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af, Class 0) at a maximum of 8.6W, which is compatible with any 802.3af-capable switch port. If your switch infrastructure is 802.3af-only, the i-PRO integrates without an upgrade.
Which camera offers better built-in analytics and do either require an external module for audio?
The WV-S35402-F2L includes built-in AI analytics (people, vehicle, and face detection) plus AI sound classification (gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, glass break) and a built-in microphone — no external module required. The PNM-7082RVD provides motion detection, virtual line/direction, intrusion, and loitering analytics, but both audio input/output and alarm I/O require the optional SPM-4210 I/O box. If built-in audio detection or AI sound classification is a project requirement, the i-PRO meets it out of the box; the Hanwha requires additional accessory hardware and cost.
