Hanwha PNM-7082RVD vs i-PRO S35402-F2LG: Specification Comparison
Both the Hanwha PNM-7082RVD and the i-PRO WV-S35402-F2LG are outdoor fixed dome IP cameras targeting the 4MP class — the Hanwha achieves this via dual 2MP sensors while the i-PRO delivers native 4MP from a single sensor — both rated IP66/IK10 and suited for perimeter or general surveillance. This comparison examines their imaging performance, installation requirements, and VMS/analytics integration to help integrators and IT buyers identify which unit fits a given deployment.

How do the imaging specs compare?
The Hanwha PNM-7082RVD uses two 1/2.8" CMOS sensors each delivering 1920×1080 (2MP per channel, 4MP combined), with a motorized varifocal 3–6mm lens (2× zoom, F2.2–F3.1) covering 107°–56° horizontal. IR reach is 15m typical / 25m scene-dependent. Its extremeWDR is rated at 120dB, and minimum color illumination is 0.035 Lux. The i-PRO WV-S35402-F2LG uses a single 1/2.8" CMOS delivering up to 2560×1440 (4MP native), with a fixed 2.4mm lens at F2.1 covering 121° horizontal. IR reach is 14m (High) / 10m (Medium). Its Super Dynamic WDR is rated at 132dB maximum, and minimum color illumination is 0.19 lx @ 30IRE.
On low-light performance the Hanwha's 0.035 Lux color threshold is significantly lower than the i-PRO's 0.19 Lux, suggesting better passive sensitivity. However, the i-PRO's 132dB Super Dynamic WDR rating exceeds the Hanwha's 120dB extremeWDR, which may produce superior results in high-contrast scenes. The Hanwha's motorized varifocal lens provides field-of-view flexibility at install time (107° wide to 56° tele), whereas the i-PRO's fixed 2.4mm lens is locked at 121° horizontal — useful for broad area coverage but not adjustable. DORI figures are closely matched at the Detect threshold (Hanwha wide: 28.4m vs i-PRO: 29.0m).
What about installation and environment?
Both cameras carry IP66 and IK10 ratings and NEMA 4X compliance. The Hanwha additionally carries IP67 and IEC/EN 63000, and its operating temperature range is -40°C to +55°C. The i-PRO operates from -40°C to +50°C — a 5°C narrower upper limit. The i-PRO also specifies wind resistance up to 40 m/s (~89 mph), a spec absent from the Hanwha's provided data. The Hanwha measures 215×135×93.2mm and weighs 1,330g; the i-PRO is considerably more compact at 109×119×53mm and weighs approximately 475g — roughly one-third the mass, which affects bracket selection and conduit sizing.
Power requirements differ meaningfully: the Hanwha requires PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at, Class 4, max 17W / typical 12.5W), meaning switches and injectors must support 802.3at. The i-PRO draws only 8.6W and operates on standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af, Class 0), compatible with a broader installed base of PoE switches without uprating infrastructure. The Hanwha lists conduit compatibility (1/2" / M20) and a specific hanging mount accessory (SBP-215HMW); the i-PRO specifies a tamper-resistant enclosure but specific accessory mount part numbers are not included in the provided specs.
Which fits your VMS and analytics better?
The Hanwha PNM-7082RVD supports ONVIF Profile S and T, Hanwha's SUNAPI (HTTP API), and an open platform. On-board edge storage reaches 512GB via a single microSD/SDHC/SDXC slot. Analytics include motion detection, virtual line/direction, intrusion detection, and loitering — delivered via the WiseStream II smart codec. Alarm I/O and audio I/O both require the optional SPM-4210 accessory box; neither is built in. Security includes TPM 2.0 (FIPS 140-2 Level 2) and 802.1X (EAP-TLS, EAP-LEAP, EAP-PEAP MSCHAPv2). The camera supports up to 10 simultaneous stream profiles and 20 unicast users.
The i-PRO WV-S35402-F2LG supports ONVIF Profile G, M, S, and T — a broader profile set that includes Profile G (edge recording) and Profile M (metadata/analytics). It lists built-in audio with AI Sound Classification (gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, glass break) plus AI analytics for motion, face, people, vehicle, non-mask detection, and occupancy — all without an accessory module. On-board storage also reaches 512GB microSDXC. The i-PRO limits simultaneous users to 14 vs the Hanwha's 20 unicast. Protocol support adds SFTP and MQTT (not listed for the Hanwha). The i-PRO's audio is built in; the Hanwha's audio requires the optional SPM-4210 I/O box.
Which should you choose: the PNM-7082RVD or the S35402-F2LG?
Our take: The PNM-7082RVD is the stronger choice when field-adjustable zoom, superior passive low-light sensitivity, and a wider operating temperature ceiling are the priorities; the WV-S35402-F2LG is the stronger choice for deployments where standard PoE infrastructure, built-in AI audio classification, broader ONVIF profile coverage, and a compact lightweight form factor matter most. Three concrete spec deltas: (1) minimum color illumination — Hanwha 0.035 Lux vs i-PRO 0.19 Lux, a roughly 5× sensitivity advantage for the Hanwha; (2) power draw — i-PRO 8.6W on 802.3af vs Hanwha max 17W requiring 802.3at, a meaningful infrastructure cost difference across large deployments; (3) weight — i-PRO 475g vs Hanwha 1,330g, nearly 3× heavier for the Hanwha, affecting mounting hardware. Platform qualifier: the i-PRO's ONVIF Profile G and M support and native AI analytics suit VMS-agnostic enterprise deployments; the Hanwha integrates most deeply with Wisenet VMS ecosystems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which should you choose: the PNM-7082RVD or the S35402-F2LG?
The PNM-7082RVD is the stronger choice when field-adjustable zoom, superior passive low-light sensitivity, and a wider operating temperature ceiling are the priorities; the WV-S35402-F2LG is the stronger choice for deployments where standard PoE infrastructure, built-in AI audio classification, broader ONVIF profile coverage, and a compact lightweight form factor matter most. Three concrete spec deltas: (1) minimum color illumination — Hanwha 0.035 Lux vs i-PRO 0.19 Lux, a roughly 5× sensitivity advantage for the Hanwha; (2) power draw — i-PRO 8.6W on 802.3af vs Hanwha max 17W requiring 802.3at, a meaningful infrastructure cost difference across large deployments; (3) weight — i-PRO 475g vs Hanwha 1,330g, nearly 3× heavier for the Hanwha, affecting mounting hardware. Platform qualifier: the i-PRO's ONVIF Profile G and M support and native AI analytics suit VMS-agnostic enterprise deployments; the Hanwha integrates most deeply with Wisenet VMS ecosystems.
Is the PNM-7082RVD or WV-S35402-F2LG better for low-light performance?
Based on specified minimum illumination, the Hanwha PNM-7082RVD has a lower color threshold at 0.035 Lux versus the i-PRO's 0.19 Lux @ 30IRE, indicating better passive sensitivity in dim conditions. Both reach 0 Lux with IR active. However, the i-PRO's Super Dynamic WDR is rated at 132dB versus the Hanwha's 120dB, which may provide better detail in high-contrast scenes with mixed bright and dark areas.
Can I install either camera on an existing standard PoE (802.3af) switch?
The i-PRO WV-S35402-F2LG draws a maximum of 8.6W and is specified as IEEE 802.3af compliant (Class 0), so it will operate on any standard PoE switch. The Hanwha PNM-7082RVD requires PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at, Class 4, max 17W). Installing the Hanwha on a switch that only supports 802.3af may result in insufficient power; 802.3at-capable switches or midspan injectors are required.
Does either camera include built-in audio without additional accessories?
The i-PRO WV-S35402-F2LG includes built-in audio with AI Sound Classification (gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, glass break) — no additional hardware is required. The Hanwha PNM-7082RVD does not include built-in audio; both audio input and audio output require the optional SPM-4210 I/O accessory box, which is sold separately.
