i-PRO S35402-F2L vs i-PRO X35402-F2LM: Specification Comparison
Both the i-PRO WV-S35402-F2L and WV-X35402-F2LM are 4MP fixed outdoor dome cameras sharing the same 1/2.8-type CMOS sensor, 2.4mm fixed lens, 14m IR, and 132dB Super Dynamic WDR. They target different deployment contexts: the S35402-F2L is a general-purpose outdoor AI dome for commercial perimeter use, while the X35402-F2LM adds railway and vehicle certifications and an M12 ruggedized connector. This comparison examines how the two differ on imaging, installation, and integration criteria for a B2B installer audience.

How do the imaging specs compare?
Both cameras share the same 1/2.8-type CMOS sensor with a 5.12mm(H) x 3.84mm(V) scanning area, 2.4mm fixed focal length, 121° horizontal field of view, F2.1 aperture, and identical DORI distances (Detect 29.0m, Observe 11.6m, Recognize 5.8m, Identify 2.9m). Both deliver 132dB maximum dynamic range via Super Dynamic (Level 31) and support identical IR LED range of 14m. The S35402-F2L specifies its native resolution as 2688x1520 (16:9). The X35402-F2LM lists its 16:9 resolutions as 2560x1440, 1920x1080, and 1280x720; its 4:3 options include 1280x960 and 2048x1536. The S35402-F2L native 2688x1520 is marginally higher in pixel count than the X35402-F2LM's maximum listed 16:9 output of 2560x1440.
For low light, both list a B&W minimum illumination of 0.06 lux (50IRE); the X35402-F2LM additionally specifies 0.07 lux in color mode and 0 lux with IR active, providing explicit color-mode and IR-on figures that the S35402-F2L spec sheet does not enumerate separately. Both carry the Ambarella CV25M SoC, identical AGC range (0–11), Digital Noise Reduction range (0–255), and identical BLC/HLC (0–31), Fog Compensation (0–8), and Adaptive Black Stretch (0–255) controls.
What about installation and environment?
Both cameras share the same mechanical envelope — 109mm(W) x 53mm(H) x 119mm(D) and approximately 475g — and both carry IP66 (IEC 60529), Type 4X (UL50E), NEMA 4X, and IK10 (IEC 62262) ratings with 40 m/s wind resistance. The key installation difference lies in the network connector and operating temperature ceiling. The S35402-F2L uses a standard RJ45 connector, while the X35402-F2LM uses an M12 connector, which provides superior vibration and moisture resistance required in mobile or rail environments but requires M12-compatible cabling and patch panels.
The operating temperature range also diverges: the S35402-F2L is rated -40°C to +50°C (power-on from -20°C), whereas the X35402-F2LM is rated -40°C to +60°C (power-on from -20°C), giving it a 10°C higher upper limit. The X35402-F2LM additionally carries railway and vehicle certifications — EN50155, JIS E 5006, IEC62236, EN50121, IEC61373, and EN45545 — that are absent from the S35402-F2L specification. Both are PoE-powered at 8.6W maximum and are rated UL/c-UL (UL62368-1), CE, and IEC62368-1.
Which fits your VMS and analytics better?
Both cameras support ONVIF Profiles G, M, S, and T; H.265 and H.264 video compression with JPEG; G.726 and G.711 audio compression; up to 14 simultaneous users; FIPS 140-2 Level 3 security; IEEE 802.1X; microSD/SDHC/SDXC local edge storage (up to 512GB); and mobile compatibility with iOS 8.0+ and Android devices. Both include VMD (4 areas), Scene Change Detection (1 area), audio detection, AI Sound Classification (Gunshot, Yell, Vehicle Horn, Glass Break), Privacy Zone (up to 8), and VIQS (up to 8).
For AI analytics, the S35402-F2L explicitly lists AI Video Motion Detection, Face Detection, People Detection, and Vehicle Detection. The X35402-F2LM describes '7 detection types' in AI video analytics without individually naming all seven in the provided spec; both list Facial Recognition under analytics attributes. The S35402-F2L specifies its IPv6 protocol support in full detail (including SMTP, DNS, NTP, SNMPv1/v2/v3, DHCPv6, RTP, MLD, ICMP, LLDP, FTP, SFTP, MQTT); the X35402-F2LM's IPv6 listing is abbreviated in the provided spec (IPv6, TCP/IP, UDP/IP, HTTP, HTTPS, SNMPv3). Alarm actions are identical: Email, HTTP, and TCP notification. The X35402-F2LM's spec notes 'N/A' for alarm source (no dry-contact input), consistent with the S35402-F2L which does not list one either.
Which should you choose: the S35402-F2L or the X35402-F2LM?
Our take: The X35402-F2LM is the stronger choice when the deployment involves rail vehicles, transit infrastructure, or any environment requiring vibration-hardened connectors and elevated temperature tolerance. Its M12 connector versus the S35402-F2L's RJ45 is the decisive mechanical differentiator for mobile applications, and its operating ceiling of +60°C versus +50°C provides a measurable 10°C advantage in confined or sun-exposed enclosures. It also carries six railway and vehicle certifications (EN50155, JIS E 5006, IEC62236, EN50121, IEC61373, EN45545) absent from the S35402-F2L. Conversely, the S35402-F2L is appropriate for standard fixed commercial outdoor installations where RJ45 infrastructure is already in place, its AI analytics are fully enumerated in the spec (Face, People, Vehicle Detection), and it carries a 3-year warranty versus the X35402-F2LM's 5-year warranty — a factor worth evaluating against total cost of ownership.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which should you choose: the S35402-F2L or the X35402-F2LM?
The X35402-F2LM is the stronger choice when the deployment involves rail vehicles, transit infrastructure, or any environment requiring vibration-hardened connectors and elevated temperature tolerance. Its M12 connector versus the S35402-F2L's RJ45 is the decisive mechanical differentiator for mobile applications, and its operating ceiling of +60°C versus +50°C provides a measurable 10°C advantage in confined or sun-exposed enclosures. It also carries six railway and vehicle certifications (EN50155, JIS E 5006, IEC62236, EN50121, IEC61373, EN45545) absent from the S35402-F2L. Conversely, the S35402-F2L is appropriate for standard fixed commercial outdoor installations where RJ45 infrastructure is already in place, its AI analytics are fully enumerated in the spec (Face, People, Vehicle Detection), and it carries a 3-year warranty versus the X35402-F2LM's 5-year warranty — a factor worth evaluating against total cost of ownership.
Is the S35402-F2L or X35402-F2LM better for low-light performance?
Per the provided specifications, both share the same B&W minimum illumination of 0.06 lux at 50IRE and the same 14m IR range. The X35402-F2LM additionally specifies 0.07 lux in color mode and 0 lux B&W with IR active — figures not separately enumerated in the S35402-F2L spec. Both use the same Ambarella CV25M SoC and IR LED system, so real-world performance is expected to be similar, but the X35402-F2LM provides more granular low-light data in its spec sheet.
Can I use the X35402-F2LM on a train or bus, and can the S35402-F2L be used in the same way?
The X35402-F2LM carries EN50155, JIS E 5006, IEC62236, EN50121, IEC61373, and EN45545 certifications for railway and vehicle applications, and uses an M12 connector suited to vibration-prone environments. The S35402-F2L has none of those certifications and uses a standard RJ45 connector; its specification does not indicate suitability for mobile vehicle installations.
What is the warranty difference between the S35402-F2L and X35402-F2LM?
Based on the provided specifications, the WV-S35402-F2L carries a 3-year warranty and the WV-X35402-F2LM carries a 5-year warranty — a two-year difference that may affect total cost of ownership calculations for long-lived infrastructure deployments.
