Hanwha QNV-7082R vs i-PRO X35402-F2LM: Specification Comparison
Both the Hanwha QNV-7082R and the i-PRO WV-X35402-F2LM are outdoor-rated, IK10-vandal-resistant fixed dome cameras delivering 4MP (2560×1440) resolution with onboard IR illumination and PoE power. They occupy the same general product class and resolution tier, making them legitimate cross-shop candidates for installers evaluating perimeter, transit, or industrial surveillance deployments where ruggedization, dynamic range, and VMS integration are primary concerns.

How do the imaging specs compare?
The QNV-7082R uses a 1/3" CMOS sensor with a 3.2–10 mm (3.1×) motorized varifocal lens (F1.6 wide / F2.9 tele), providing an angular field of view from 98.6° (wide) to 30.8° (tele). Minimum illumination is 0.1 lux in color and 0 lux with IR, and IR range extends to 30 m (98 ft). WDR is rated at 120 dB. DORI figures at wide end show Detect at 27 m and Identify at 3 m; at tele end, Detect reaches 129 m and Identify 13 m.
The WV-X35402-F2LM uses an approx. 1/2.8" CMOS sensor with a fixed 2.4 mm lens (F2.1), delivering a wide 121° horizontal field of view with no optical zoom. Minimum illumination is 0.07 lux in color and 0.06 lux in B&W (0 lux with IR), with IR range rated at 14 m (46 ft). WDR (Super Dynamic) reaches 132 dB at maximum level. DORI figures show Detect at 29.0 m and Identify at 2.9 m. The i-PRO sensor is larger (1/2.8" vs 1/3"), offers marginally better low-light performance in color (0.07 lux vs 0.1 lux), and has higher peak WDR (132 dB vs 120 dB), while the Hanwha provides a motorized varifocal lens versus the i-PRO's fixed lens and nearly double the IR throw distance (30 m vs 14 m).
What about installation and environment?
Both cameras carry IP66 and IK10 ratings, making them suitable for outdoor and vandal-prone installations. The QNV-7082R operates from −40°C to +55°C with a weight of approximately 710 g (1.565 lb) and dimensions of Ø137.0 × 106.1 mm. It accepts PoE (IEEE 802.3af, Class 3) or 12 VDC and draws up to 11.4 W. It uses a standard RJ-45 connector. Compatible conduit entries include 3/4" (M25) single, double, and 4" octagon gangbox. Accessory mounting options include a hanging mount (SBP-301HMW2), skin cover (SPB-VAW72), and backbox (SBV-136BW).
The WV-X35402-F2LM operates from −40°C to +60°C (power-on threshold −20°C) and weighs approximately 475 g (1.05 lb) with dimensions of 109 mm (W) × 53 mm (H) × 119 mm (D). It draws up to 8.6 W via PoE (PoE Class 0 per spec). A notable differentiator is its M12 Ethernet connector rather than RJ-45, which is purpose-designed for vibration-prone and transportation environments. It also carries NEMA 4X / Type 4X, EN50155, IEC61373, JIS E 5006, and EN45545 railway/vehicle certifications that the QNV-7082R does not list. The i-PRO unit also specifies wind resistance up to 40 m/s (approx. 89 mph), a spec absent from the Hanwha data sheet.
Which fits your VMS and analytics better?
The QNV-7082R supports ONVIF Profile S/G/T and Hanwha's SUNAPI (HTTP API). It offers H.265/H.264 (Main/High) and MJPEG compression, WiseStream II smart codec, CBR/VBR bitrate control, and up to three simultaneous streaming profiles with unicast (up to 6 users) or multicast. Edge analytics include defocus detection, directional detection, motion detection, enter/exit, tampering, and virtual line crossing. Audio input (line in) is supported; audio output is not listed. On-board microSD/SDHC/SDXC storage is supported up to 128 GB (1 slot). Security features include HTTPS/SSL, Digest authentication, IP filtering, user access log, and 802.1X.
The WV-X35402-F2LM supports ONVIF Profile G/M/S/T. It offers H.265/H.264 and JPEG compression with Variable GOP smart coding. It supports up to 14 simultaneous users. AI analytics include 7 detection types (the spec lists AI video analytics generally and specifically references AI Sound Classification with four event classes: gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, glass break) plus scene change detection and audio detection. The product spec also references facial recognition in the product attributes. Security credentials include FIPS 140-2 Level 3, device certificate, brute-force protection, alteration detection, SRTP, SFTP, and MQTT — a substantially broader security posture than the QNV-7082R. On-board microSD storage is supported up to 512 GB. Audio is listed as supported (built-in mic per product attributes). The i-PRO supports SNMP v1/v2/v3 and MQTT, with additional mobile compatibility listed for iOS and Android.
Which should you choose: the QNV-7082R or the X35402-F2LM?
Our take: The QNV-7082R is the stronger choice when lens flexibility and IR range are the primary drivers: its 3.2–10 mm motorized varifocal lens covers 98.6°–30.8° field of view versus the WV-X35402-F2LM's fixed 2.4 mm / 121° lens, and its IR throw of 30 m nearly doubles the i-PRO's 14 m. Conversely, the WV-X35402-F2LM leads in WDR headroom (132 dB vs 120 dB), low-light color sensitivity (0.07 lux vs 0.1 lux), higher-capacity edge storage (up to 512 GB vs 128 GB), a stronger security certification stack (FIPS 140-2 Level 3 vs none stated), AI sound classification, and a broader analytics set including scene change detection. The i-PRO also operates 5°C higher at the top end (60°C vs 55°C) and carries railway certifications (EN50155, IEC61373) the Hanwha does not list. Choose the QNV-7082R for general outdoor perimeter surveillance requiring zoom flexibility and long-range IR; choose the WV-X35402-F2LM for transit, rail, or high-security environments requiring railway certification, superior WDR, and an M12 connector.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which should you choose: the QNV-7082R or the X35402-F2LM?
The QNV-7082R is the stronger choice when lens flexibility and IR range are the primary drivers: its 3.2–10 mm motorized varifocal lens covers 98.6°–30.8° field of view versus the WV-X35402-F2LM's fixed 2.4 mm / 121° lens, and its IR throw of 30 m nearly doubles the i-PRO's 14 m. Conversely, the WV-X35402-F2LM leads in WDR headroom (132 dB vs 120 dB), low-light color sensitivity (0.07 lux vs 0.1 lux), higher-capacity edge storage (up to 512 GB vs 128 GB), a stronger security certification stack (FIPS 140-2 Level 3 vs none stated), AI sound classification, and a broader analytics set including scene change detection. The i-PRO also operates 5°C higher at the top end (60°C vs 55°C) and carries railway certifications (EN50155, IEC61373) the Hanwha does not list. Choose the QNV-7082R for general outdoor perimeter surveillance requiring zoom flexibility and long-range IR; choose the WV-X35402-F2LM for transit, rail, or high-security environments requiring railway certification, superior WDR, and an M12 connector.
Is the QNV-7082R or WV-X35402-F2LM better for low-light performance?
Based on stated specifications, the WV-X35402-F2LM has a slight edge in color low-light performance at 0.07 lux versus the QNV-7082R's 0.1 lux. Both cameras reach 0 lux in B&W mode with IR active. However, the QNV-7082R's IR illuminator is rated to 30 m, more than double the WV-X35402-F2LM's 14 m, so at longer distances the Hanwha will provide usable IR-lit images where the i-PRO's illuminator cannot reach.
Can either camera be used in a railway or transit vehicle application?
Only the WV-X35402-F2LM lists railway and vehicle certifications in its specifications: EN50155, JIS E 5006, IEC62236, EN50121, IEC61373, and EN45545. It also uses an M12 Ethernet connector suited to vibration-prone installations and specifies wind resistance up to 40 m/s. The QNV-7082R's published specifications do not include any of these railway or vehicle certifications.
Which camera offers better VMS security integration and cybersecurity features?
The WV-X35402-F2LM lists FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification, device certificate, SRTP, SFTP, MQTT, brute-force protection, and alteration detection alongside 802.1X and HTTPS. The QNV-7082R lists HTTPS/SSL, Digest authentication, IP filtering, user access log, and 802.1X, but does not state FIPS 140-2 or equivalent certification in the provided specifications. For high-security or government-adjacent deployments where FIPS compliance is a requirement, the WV-X35402-F2LM is the documented choice based on available spec data.
