Hanwha QND-7082R vs i-PRO S35402-F2L: Specification Comparison
Both the Hanwha QND-7082R and the i-PRO WV-S35402-F2L are 4MP fixed IP dome cameras aimed at professional security installations. The QND-7082R is an indoor-rated motorized varifocal dome, while the S35402-F2L is an outdoor-rated fixed-lens dome with an onboard AI SoC. Buyers evaluating these two will be weighing lens flexibility and indoor coverage against outdoor environmental ratings, AI-on-chip analytics, and a wider dynamic range ceiling — all within the same 4MP resolution class and similar PoE power budget.

How do the imaging specs compare?
The QND-7082R uses a 1/3" CMOS sensor resolving 2560×1440, paired with a 3.2–10mm (3.1×) motorized varifocal lens (F1.6 wide, F2.9 tele) and a stated minimum illumination of 0.1 Lux color / 0 Lux IR. Its onboard IR illuminator reaches 20m (65 ft). WDR is rated at 120 dB. The S35402-F2L uses an approx. 1/2.8" CMOS sensor with a larger scanning area (5.12 mm × 3.84 mm), resolving 2688×1520 through a fixed 2.4mm lens (F2.1, 121° H FOV). Minimum illumination is specified at 0.06 Lux (B&W, 50IRE). Its IR illuminator is rated at 14m (30IRE) / 10m (50IRE). The i-PRO's Super Dynamic WDR is rated at 132 dB max (level 31).
On IR reach, the QND-7082R has a clear advantage at 20m versus the S35402-F2L's 14m. The S35402-F2L holds the edge in dynamic range (132 dB vs 120 dB) and in minimum illumination (0.06 Lux vs 0.1 Lux color), though both cameras are spec'd with zero-lux IR capability. The QND-7082R's motorized varifocal lens provides field-adjustable coverage from 98.6° down to 30.8° (H), whereas the S35402-F2L's fixed 2.4mm lens is locked at 121° H — offering a wider default FOV but no optical zoom post-installation. The S35402-F2L also provides up to 4× digital extra zoom (at 640×360), while the QND-7082R lists no digital PTZ capability in the provided specs.
What about installation and environment?
The QND-7082R is rated for indoor use only, with an operating temperature of -10°C to +55°C and humidity up to 95% RH. No IP or IK rating is listed in the provided specifications. It accepts PoE (IEEE 802.3af, Class 3) or 12VDC and draws up to 8.6W. Its physical dimensions are Ø119.8 × 98.8mm and it weighs 320g (0.705 lb). Mounting hardware sold separately includes options such as SBP-122HMW for hanging mount and SBD-120GP for gangbox; conduit compatibility is specified.
The S35402-F2L is outdoor-rated with IP66 (IEC 60529), NEMA 4X, and Type 4X (UL50E) ingress protection, plus IK10 (IEC 62262) impact resistance and a wind resistance rating up to 40 m/s (~89 mph). Its operating temperature range is -40°C to +50°C (power-on range -20°C to +50°C), substantially wider than the QND-7082R's range. It also accepts PoE (IEEE 802.3af) and draws up to 8.6W (PoE Class 0 per the provided spec). Dimensions are 109 × 53 × 119mm and weight is approximately 475g (1.05 lbs). The enclosure is aluminum die cast with tamper-resistant construction, compared to the QND-7082R's plastic housing.
Which fits your VMS and analytics better?
Both cameras support ONVIF Profile S, G, and T, ensuring broad VMS compatibility. The QND-7082R additionally declares ONVIF Profile M and Hanwha's proprietary SUNAPI (HTTP API), and supports up to 6 unicast users across up to 3 stream profiles. The S35402-F2L supports up to 14 simultaneous users and also lists ONVIF Profile M. The QND-7082R offers edge analytics including defocus detection, directional detection, enter/exit, virtual line, and tampering. The S35402-F2L, powered by an Ambarella CV25M SoC, adds AI Video Motion Detection, Face Detection, People Detection, Vehicle Detection, and AI Sound Classification (gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, glass break) — all processed on-camera.
Both cameras include a microSD/SDXC card slot (up to 128GB on the QND-7082R; up to 512GB microSDXC on the S35402-F2L). Both support audio input (built-in mic noted for both). The QND-7082R supports G.711 and G.726 audio compression; the S35402-F2L adds AAC (per spec listing of additional audio options) and also lists SFTP and MQTT in its protocol support, which the QND-7082R does not specify. Security posture differs: the S35402-F2L carries FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification and signed firmware; the QND-7082R lists HTTPS/SSL, 802.1X, and IP filtering, but no FIPS certification is listed in the provided specifications.
Which should you choose: the QND-7082R or the S35402-F2L?
Our take: The QND-7082R is the stronger choice when the installation is indoors, lens flexibility is required, and longer IR throw matters — its 3.1× motorized varifocal (3.2–10mm) allows field adjustment from 98.6° to 30.8° H, and its 20m IR range exceeds the S35402-F2L's 14m by 43%. Conversely, the S35402-F2L is the stronger choice for any outdoor or harsh-environment deployment: it carries IP66/NEMA 4X water and dust resistance plus IK10 impact resistance that the QND-7082R does not list, operates from -40°C versus the QND-7082R's -10°C floor, and delivers a higher WDR ceiling (132 dB vs 120 dB). Its Ambarella CV25M AI SoC provides on-camera face, people, and vehicle detection plus AI sound classification — capabilities not present in the QND-7082R's spec sheet. The S35402-F2L also supports up to 14 simultaneous streams vs 6, and carries FIPS 140-2 Level 3 security certification, relevant for government or compliance-driven deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which should you choose: the QND-7082R or the S35402-F2L?
The QND-7082R is the stronger choice when the installation is indoors, lens flexibility is required, and longer IR throw matters — its 3.1× motorized varifocal (3.2–10mm) allows field adjustment from 98.6° to 30.8° H, and its 20m IR range exceeds the S35402-F2L's 14m by 43%. Conversely, the S35402-F2L is the stronger choice for any outdoor or harsh-environment deployment: it carries IP66/NEMA 4X water and dust resistance plus IK10 impact resistance that the QND-7082R does not list, operates from -40°C versus the QND-7082R's -10°C floor, and delivers a higher WDR ceiling (132 dB vs 120 dB). Its Ambarella CV25M AI SoC provides on-camera face, people, and vehicle detection plus AI sound classification — capabilities not present in the QND-7082R's spec sheet. The S35402-F2L also supports up to 14 simultaneous streams vs 6, and carries FIPS 140-2 Level 3 security certification, relevant for government or compliance-driven deployments.
Is the QND-7082R or S35402-F2L better for low-light performance?
Both cameras switch to zero-lux operation using IR illumination, but their daytime low-light specs differ. The S35402-F2L is specified at 0.06 Lux (B&W, 50IRE), while the QND-7082R is specified at 0.1 Lux color. The QND-7082R's IR illuminator reaches 20m versus the S35402-F2L's 14m (at 30IRE), so for longer-range IR coverage the QND-7082R has the advantage. For environments that require more sensitive color imaging before IR kicks in, the S35402-F2L's lower minimum illumination figure and higher 132 dB WDR (vs 120 dB) give it the edge.
Can the S35402-F2L be used indoors, and can the QND-7082R be used outdoors?
The S35402-F2L is rated IP66/NEMA 4X and IK10 and is specified for outdoor use with an operating range of -40°C to +50°C, so it can certainly be deployed indoors as well. The QND-7082R is listed as an indoor camera with no IP or IK rating in the provided specifications, and its operating temperature floor is -10°C — it is not specified or rated for outdoor or harsh-environment installations based on the data provided.
Which camera has better onboard AI analytics?
The S35402-F2L has the stronger AI analytics package based on the provided specifications. Its Ambarella CV25M SoC enables on-camera AI Video Motion Detection, Face Detection, People Detection, Vehicle Detection, and AI Sound Classification (gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, glass break). The QND-7082R provides defocus detection, directional detection, enter/exit, virtual line, and tampering analytics, but does not list face, people, or vehicle AI classification or sound event classification in its spec sheet.
