Hanwha XNF-9013RV vs Pelco SRXF3-12360-ES: Specification Comparison
Both the Hanwha XNF-9013RV and the Pelco SRXF3-12360-ES are 12MP outdoor fisheye IP cameras designed for wide-area, single-camera coverage of large open spaces. They occupy the same resolution class and share a fixed-lens, dome/fisheye form factor, making them direct cross-shop candidates for installers evaluating panoramic coverage in retail, warehouses, lobbies, and parking structures. This comparison examines imaging capability, installation and environmental ratings, and VMS/analytics integration based strictly on published specifications.

How do the imaging specs compare?
The Hanwha XNF-9013RV uses a 1/2.3" 12MP CMOS sensor delivering a native 3008×3008 resolution at 30fps, with a 1.08mm fixed focal length at F2.2 and a 187° H/V/D field of view. The Pelco SRXF3-12360-ES outputs 12MP at a maximum resolution of 3840×2160 at 12.5fps full resolution, with a 2.7mm lens at F2.5 (a separate spec entry lists the focal length as 1.4mm — an internal inconsistency in the provided data). The Hanwha's 30fps versus Pelco's 12.5fps full-resolution frame rate is a meaningful operational difference for motion capture.
For low-light performance, the Hanwha specifies a minimum illumination of 0.39 Lux (color) and 0 Lux with IR active, backed by a Wise IR system rated at 8m under PoE (Class 3) and 13m under PoE+. The Pelco specifies 0.10 Lux minimum illumination but lists no IR illuminator range; its Night Vision spec entry reads 'Yes' without a distance figure, and a separate field notes 'IR Range: None.' The Hanwha's extremeWDR is rated at 120dB; the Pelco lists WDR as a feature but provides no dB rating in the supplied specifications.
What about installation and environment?
Both cameras carry IP66 and IK10 ratings and are rated for an operating temperature range of -40°C to +60°C. The Pelco SRXF3-12360-ES additionally holds an IP67 rating, providing protection against temporary full immersion — a spec the Hanwha does not list. The Hanwha further carries a NEMA 4X rating (per IEC/EN 63000 and NEMA 250 Type 4X), which addresses corrosive environments; the Pelco's provided specifications do not include a NEMA rating.
Both cameras are powered via PoE+ (802.3at). The Hanwha also accepts 12VDC as an alternative input and draws a specified maximum of 12.95W. The Pelco's maximum power draw is not stated in the provided specifications. The Hanwha's physical footprint is Ø160×72mm (1,170g / 2.58 lb). The Pelco's dimensions are listed as 6"×6"×2.81"; its weight with wall mount is listed as 1.001kg (2.21 lb) with 'N/A' also noted — an inconsistency in the supplied data. The Pelco lists a broader set of mounting options (wall, ceiling, pole, pendant, corner); the Hanwha's primary mount type is listed as wall, with an optional hanging mount accessory (SBP-167HMW).
Which fits your VMS and analytics better?
The Hanwha XNF-9013RV supports ONVIF Profile S, G, T, and M, along with Hanwha's proprietary SUNAPI and Wisenet APIs. The Pelco SRXF3-12360-ES supports ONVIF Profile S and Profile T. Both cameras support HTTPS encryption and 802.1X authentication is specified for the Hanwha; the Pelco's provided specifications do not detail authentication methods beyond HTTPS. The Hanwha supports H.265, H.264 (Main/Baseline/High), and MJPEG compression with WiseStream II/III smart codec. The Pelco's primary compression is H.264; a separate spec field also lists H.265, but this conflicts with the main spec entry ('Video Compression: H.264') — the H.265 claim cannot be confirmed from the provided data.
On-board analytics differ significantly in documented depth. The Hanwha provides AI-based object detection (person, face, vehicle, license plate), people counting, queue management, heatmap, virtual line crossing, and loitering/intrusion detection. The Pelco lists 'Pelco Smart Analytics; 8 behaviors' without enumerating specific behaviors in the provided specifications. For audio, the Hanwha includes a built-in microphone with selectable mic/line input and a line output; the Pelco lists 'Microphone supported' without further detail. Edge storage is dual microSD/SDHC/SDXC up to 1TB (2×512GB) on the Hanwha; the Pelco supports microSD but no capacity limit is stated in the provided specs. The Hanwha's RAM is 4096MB with 512MB Flash; the Pelco lists 4GB RAM and 4GB Flash.
Which should you choose: the XNF-9013RV or the SRXF3-12360-ES?
Our take: The XNF-9013RV is the stronger choice when frame rate, AI analytics depth, and documented IR night vision are priorities. At 30fps versus the SRXF3-12360-ES's 12.5fps full-resolution rate, the Hanwha captures fast motion more reliably. Its minimum illumination of 0 Lux (IR active) with a specified IR range of up to 13m under PoE+ contrasts with the Pelco's 0.10 Lux figure and no stated IR distance. The Hanwha's extremeWDR is quantified at 120dB; the Pelco's WDR carries no dB rating in the provided data. The Hanwha also supports ONVIF Profile G and M (in addition to S and T), broader VMS compatibility, and a 3-year warranty versus the Pelco's 5-year warranty — the one spec area where Pelco has a clear, documentable advantage. Choose the SRXF3-12360-ES if the 5-year warranty term or its IP67 immersion rating is a project requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which should you choose: the XNF-9013RV or the SRXF3-12360-ES?
The XNF-9013RV is the stronger choice when frame rate, AI analytics depth, and documented IR night vision are priorities. At 30fps versus the SRXF3-12360-ES's 12.5fps full-resolution rate, the Hanwha captures fast motion more reliably. Its minimum illumination of 0 Lux (IR active) with a specified IR range of up to 13m under PoE+ contrasts with the Pelco's 0.10 Lux figure and no stated IR distance. The Hanwha's extremeWDR is quantified at 120dB; the Pelco's WDR carries no dB rating in the provided data. The Hanwha also supports ONVIF Profile G and M (in addition to S and T), broader VMS compatibility, and a 3-year warranty versus the Pelco's 5-year warranty — the one spec area where Pelco has a clear, documentable advantage. Choose the SRXF3-12360-ES if the 5-year warranty term or its IP67 immersion rating is a project requirement.
Is the XNF-9013RV or SRXF3-12360-ES better for low-light performance?
Based on the provided specifications, the XNF-9013RV reaches 0 Lux with its built-in IR illuminator active (rated up to 13m under PoE+), making it the documented choice for true low-light or zero-light environments. The SRXF3-12360-ES specifies a minimum illumination of 0.10 Lux and lists 'Night Vision: Yes,' but the supplied specs also state 'IR Range: None' — no IR distance is provided to verify nighttime coverage depth.
Which camera offers smoother motion capture for busy areas like lobbies or retail floors?
The XNF-9013RV is specified at 30fps at full 3008×3008 resolution. The SRXF3-12360-ES is specified at 12.5fps at its maximum resolution of 3840×2160. For applications where motion blur at full resolution matters — such as capturing faces or license plates in high-traffic areas — the Hanwha's 30fps specification provides a measurable advantage per the published specs.
Does either camera support H.265 compression for bandwidth savings?
The XNF-9013RV explicitly supports H.265 (Main/Baseline/High profiles) along with H.264 and MJPEG, confirmed in the primary video compression spec. For the SRXF3-12360-ES, the main spec entry lists only H.264; a secondary field also mentions H.265, but this conflicts with the primary spec and cannot be confirmed from the provided data. Buyers requiring verified H.265 support should confirm directly with Pelco.
