Hanwha QNV-6022R vs i-PRO X35302-F2LM: Specification Comparison
Both the Hanwha QNV-6022R and the i-PRO WV-X35302-F2LM are 2MP fixed outdoor vandal-dome IP cameras targeted at perimeter and surveillance installations requiring PoE power, IR night vision, and WDR imaging. The Hanwha delivers Full HD 1080p in a proven cost-effective package, while the i-PRO offers a wider-angle 2.4mm lens, a higher native resolution sensor output, deeper WDR performance, and an onboard AI analytics engine backed by a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 security certification. This comparison examines imaging, installation, and integration trade-offs based solely on published specifications.

How do the imaging specs compare?
The QNV-6022R uses a 1/2.8" CMOS sensor outputting 1920×1080 at 30fps with a 4.0mm fixed lens at F1.6, providing an 88° horizontal field of view and 25m IR illumination at 850nm. Its WDR is rated at 120dB. Minimum illumination is 0.03 lux color / 0 lux with IR. The i-PRO WV-X35302-F2LM also uses an approximately 1/2.8" CMOS sensor but outputs at 2048×1536 resolution (a higher-pixel native capture) through a 2.4mm lens at F2.1, yielding a 132° horizontal field of view — 44° wider than the QNV-6022R. Its Super Dynamic WDR reaches 144dB at maximum level, a 24dB advantage over the Hanwha. Minimum illumination is 0.02 lux color / 0 lux with IR.
For IR range, the QNV-6022R reaches 25m while the i-PRO's IR LED is rated at 21m at 30IRE / 15m at 50IRE — a shorter throw. The QNV-6022R's F1.6 aperture is faster than the i-PRO's F2.1, which partially compensates in low-light scenes without IR. The i-PRO includes fog compensation (adjustable 0–8, auto/manual) and AI Sound Classification (gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, glass break); neither feature appears in the QNV-6022R specification. The Hanwha supports frame rates up to 30fps; the i-PRO specifies a variable frame rate — a maximum figure is not stated in the provided specification.
What about installation and environment?
Both cameras share IP66 ingress protection and IK10 impact resistance, and both are PoE-powered. The QNV-6022R is PoE Class 3 (IEEE 802.3af) with a maximum draw of 7.40W; it also accepts 12VDC as an alternative input. The i-PRO is listed as PoE Class 0 with a maximum draw of 8.6W and uses an M12 connector rather than a standard RJ-45 — a critical installation detail for retrofit projects where standard patch cables are already run. The i-PRO adds NEMA 4X (UL50E) and wind resistance certification up to 40 m/s (~89 mph), plus railway/vehicle certifications (EN50155, EN50121, IEC61373, EN45545) not present in the QNV-6022R specification.
Operating temperature gives the i-PRO a clear advantage: -40°C to +60°C (power-on from -20°C) versus the QNV-6022R's -30°C to +55°C. Both are aluminum-bodied white housings. The QNV-6022R dimensions are ø120.3×91.7mm at 510g; the i-PRO is 109×53×119mm at approximately 475g. The Hanwha specifies pan/tilt/rotate ranges (0–350° / 0–67° / 0–355°) and lists compatible conduit/gangbox and mounting accessories (SBO-120GP, SBP-122HMW, SBV-120GW); equivalent mounting accessory data is not included in the i-PRO specification provided.
Which fits your VMS and analytics better?
Both cameras support ONVIF Profiles S, G, and T, and both carry H.265/H.264 compression with variable bitrate control. The QNV-6022R adds MJPEG and Hanwha's WiseStream II smart codec for bandwidth reduction, and supports up to 6 simultaneous unicast users across 3 streaming profiles. The i-PRO supports up to 14 simultaneous users, adds GOP control smart coding, SFTP, MQTT, and DHCPv6, and holds FIPS 140-2 Level 3 security certification — a requirement in certain federal, DoD, and critical-infrastructure deployments. The i-PRO also specifies ONVIF Profile M (in addition to G/S/T), which covers metadata streaming for AI events; the QNV-6022R specification does not list Profile M.
On-board analytics differ meaningfully. The QNV-6022R provides motion detection, tampering, defocus detection, and virtual line/area (intrusion, enter, exit, crossing, direction). The i-PRO adds AI-driven face, people, and vehicle detection, scene change detection, audio detection, and AI Sound Classification — all executed on the Ambarella CV25M SoC. Both cameras offer a microSD slot supporting up to 512GB (SDXC). The QNV-6022R specifies 512MB RAM / 256MB Flash; the i-PRO does not publish these figures in the provided spec. Both include audio input; the QNV-6022R specifies selectable mic-in/line-in with 2.5VDC phantom supply; the i-PRO lists a built-in microphone. The QNV-6022R carries a 3-year warranty; the i-PRO carries a 5-year warranty.
Which should you choose: the QNV-6022R or the X35302-F2LM?
Our take: The WV-X35302-F2LM is the stronger choice when wide-area coverage, maximum WDR headroom, onboard AI analytics, or hardened security certification are the primary requirements. Its 132° horizontal field of view is 44° wider than the QNV-6022R's 88°, its Super Dynamic WDR reaches 144dB versus 120dB, and its AI engine natively classifies faces, people, vehicles, and four audio event types on the Ambarella CV25M SoC without a separate server-side license. It also operates from -40°C and carries a 5-year warranty versus the QNV-6022R's 3-year coverage. Conversely, the QNV-6022R is the better fit when longer IR throw matters (25m vs. 21m at 30IRE), when the installation uses standard RJ-45 patch cabling (the i-PRO requires an M12 connector), when 12VDC dual-power is needed, or when Hanwha/Wisenet VMS integration and WiseStream II bandwidth savings are already part of the ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which should you choose: the QNV-6022R or the X35302-F2LM?
The WV-X35302-F2LM is the stronger choice when wide-area coverage, maximum WDR headroom, onboard AI analytics, or hardened security certification are the primary requirements. Its 132° horizontal field of view is 44° wider than the QNV-6022R's 88°, its Super Dynamic WDR reaches 144dB versus 120dB, and its AI engine natively classifies faces, people, vehicles, and four audio event types on the Ambarella CV25M SoC without a separate server-side license. It also operates from -40°C and carries a 5-year warranty versus the QNV-6022R's 3-year coverage. Conversely, the QNV-6022R is the better fit when longer IR throw matters (25m vs. 21m at 30IRE), when the installation uses standard RJ-45 patch cabling (the i-PRO requires an M12 connector), when 12VDC dual-power is needed, or when Hanwha/Wisenet VMS integration and WiseStream II bandwidth savings are already part of the ecosystem.
Is the QNV-6022R or WV-X35302-F2LM better for low-light performance?
Both reach 0 lux with IR active. Without IR, the i-PRO's minimum illumination is 0.02 lux color versus the QNV-6022R's 0.03 lux — a marginal difference. However, the QNV-6022R's faster F1.6 aperture (vs. F2.1) collects more light at the lens, which can offset the 0.01-lux gap in near-IR-off scenarios. The QNV-6022R also throws IR to 25m while the i-PRO reaches 21m at 30IRE, so the Hanwha covers a longer dark corridor or aisle without supplemental lighting.
Can I use the WV-X35302-F2LM on a standard PoE switch with RJ-45 ports?
The i-PRO WV-X35302-F2LM specifies an M12 connector for its network interface, not a standard RJ-45. You will need an M12-to-RJ-45 adapter cable or a switch with M12 ports. This is a firm installation constraint; confirm adapter compatibility with your switch and cabling budget before ordering. The QNV-6022R uses a standard RJ-45 port and connects directly to any 802.3af PoE switch.
Which camera is better for a government or critical-infrastructure site requiring security certification?
The i-PRO WV-X35302-F2LM specifies FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification, which is a federally recognized cryptographic module standard required by many U.S. government, DoD, and critical-infrastructure procurement mandates. The QNV-6022R's specification does not list FIPS 140-2 certification. If your project requires FIPS compliance, the i-PRO is the only one of these two cameras that meets it per the provided specifications.
