i-PRO S4176A vs Pelco SRXF3-12360-ES: Specification Comparison
Both the i-PRO WV-S4176A and the Pelco SRXF3-12360-ES are 12MP fisheye IP cameras targeting large open-space coverage from a single mounting point. The i-PRO is an indoor-only unit with deep AI analytics, while the Pelco is an outdoor-rated model built for environmental resilience. This comparison examines how their imaging characteristics, installation requirements, and integration capabilities stack up for installers and IT buyers evaluating a single-sensor 360° deployment.

How do the imaging specs compare?
The i-PRO WV-S4176A uses an approximately 1/2-type 12MP CMOS sensor with a 1.4 mm F1.9 lens delivering a 183° horizontal and vertical field of view. Maximum resolution is 2992×2992 in fisheye mode. Minimum illumination is rated at 0.3 lux color and 0.2 lux monochrome. Wide Dynamic Range reaches a specified maximum of 84 dB with Super Dynamic enabled at level 31. The camera supports Adaptive BLC, HLC, DNR, and fog compensation. DORI distances at ceiling mount are specified: detect at 56.1 m, observe at 20.6 m, recognize at 8.4 m, and identify at 3.0 m.
The Pelco SRXF3-12360-ES is specified with a 2.7 mm F2.5 lens (though focal length is also listed as 1.4 mm in supplemental fields—a conflict in the provided spec data), a 180°/360° field of view, and a maximum resolution of 3840×2160. Frame rate at full resolution is 12.5 fps. Minimum illumination is listed as 0.10 lux. WDR is specified as active up to 83 dB. No DORI distance table is provided in the supplied specifications. The Pelco spec sheet does not detail the sensor type or size. IR illumination is listed as absent in the card data but supplemental fields reference IR/850 nm Day/Night—this inconsistency is noted and buyers should verify with Pelco documentation.
What about installation and environment?
The i-PRO WV-S4176A is rated for indoor use only with no ingress-protection or impact rating provided in the specifications. It operates from −10 °C to +50 °C at 10–90% relative humidity (non-condensing). Power is via PoE IEEE 802.3af (Class 0) or DC 12 V at 680 mA. The camera measures ø150 mm × 49.5 mm (H) and weighs approximately 420 g. Mounting options listed include wall, ceiling, and rack; a fixing angle adjustment of −5°, 0°, or +5° is available.
The Pelco SRXF3-12360-ES carries IP66 and IP67 ingress-protection ratings and an IK10 impact rating, making it suitable for outdoor and harsh-environment installations. Operating temperature extends from −40 °C to +60 °C—a substantially wider range than the i-PRO. Power requires PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at, Class 3), meaning the switch infrastructure must support the higher power budget. Dimensions are listed as 6″ × 6″ × 2.81″ and weight with wall mount is approximately 1.001 kg (2.21 lb). Mounting options include wall, ceiling, pole, pendant, and corner.
Which fits your VMS and analytics better?
The i-PRO WV-S4176A supports ONVIF Profiles G, M, S, and T—the broadest set of the two. Edge analytics include AI-VMD, AI People Counting optimized for 360° fisheye, AI Privacy Guard, AI Scene Change Detection, and AI Sound Classification (gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, glass break). The camera includes a built-in nondirectional electret condenser microphone, a 3.5 mm stereo audio output, and supports G.726 (16/32 kbps), G.711 (64 kbps) audio compression. On-board storage via microSD is supported. Alarm I/O provides 3× input and 1× AUX output. Maximum concurrent users is 14.
The Pelco SRXF3-12360-ES supports ONVIF Profile S and Profile T. Edge analytics are described as Pelco Smart Analytics with 8 behavior detection modes; no further behavioral taxonomy is provided in the supplied specifications. Microphone support is noted in supplemental fields but no built-in microphone is explicitly confirmed in the primary spec block. On-board microSD storage is listed. Onboard memory is specified as 4 GB RAM and 4 GB Flash. H.265 is referenced in supplemental compression fields but the primary spec lists H.264 only—buyers should confirm H.265 availability with Pelco. ONVIF profile coverage is narrower than the i-PRO.
Which should you choose: the S4176A or the SRXF3-12360-ES?
Our take: The S4176A is the stronger choice when the deployment is indoors, AI-driven analytics depth is a priority, and the VMS ecosystem requires broad ONVIF profile coverage. Key spec deltas: the i-PRO's Super Dynamic WDR reaches 84 dB versus the Pelco's 83 dB, the i-PRO supports ONVIF Profiles G, M, S, and T versus the Pelco's S and T only, and the i-PRO delivers a documented 183° true fisheye field at a lower PoE draw (802.3af Class 0) versus the Pelco's PoE+ (802.3at Class 3) requirement. Conversely, the SRXF3-12360-ES is the clear choice for outdoor or harsh-environment applications: its IP66/IP67/IK10 ratings, −40 °C to +60 °C operating range, and higher impact protection address conditions the i-PRO is not rated for. Choose the i-PRO for indoor AI analytics deployments on standard PoE infrastructure; choose the Pelco where weather, vandalism risk, or extreme temperature ranges are the governing installation constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which should you choose: the S4176A or the SRXF3-12360-ES?
The S4176A is the stronger choice when the deployment is indoors, AI-driven analytics depth is a priority, and the VMS ecosystem requires broad ONVIF profile coverage. Key spec deltas: the i-PRO's Super Dynamic WDR reaches 84 dB versus the Pelco's 83 dB, the i-PRO supports ONVIF Profiles G, M, S, and T versus the Pelco's S and T only, and the i-PRO delivers a documented 183° true fisheye field at a lower PoE draw (802.3af Class 0) versus the Pelco's PoE+ (802.3at Class 3) requirement. Conversely, the SRXF3-12360-ES is the clear choice for outdoor or harsh-environment applications: its IP66/IP67/IK10 ratings, −40 °C to +60 °C operating range, and higher impact protection address conditions the i-PRO is not rated for. Choose the i-PRO for indoor AI analytics deployments on standard PoE infrastructure; choose the Pelco where weather, vandalism risk, or extreme temperature ranges are the governing installation constraints.
Is the i-PRO S4176A or the Pelco SRXF3-12360-ES better for low-light performance?
Based on the provided specifications, the i-PRO WV-S4176A is rated at 0.3 lux color / 0.2 lux monochrome, while the Pelco SRXF3-12360-ES is rated at 0.10 lux. The Pelco's lower lux figure indicates better sensitivity in dim conditions per the specs, though the i-PRO's F1.9 aperture is faster than the Pelco's F2.5, which partially offsets the difference. Buyers should request scene-level test results from each manufacturer for their specific environment.
Can I use either camera outdoors?
Only the Pelco SRXF3-12360-ES is rated for outdoor use. It carries IP66 and IP67 ingress-protection ratings, an IK10 impact rating, and an operating temperature range of −40 °C to +60 °C. The i-PRO WV-S4176A has no IP or IK rating listed in the provided specifications and is designated indoor only with a narrower operating range of −10 °C to +50 °C. Installing the i-PRO outdoors would be outside its specified environmental envelope.
Which camera requires less from my PoE switch infrastructure?
The i-PRO WV-S4176A operates on standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af, Class 0), which is supported by virtually all managed PoE switches. The Pelco SRXF3-12360-ES requires PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at, Class 3), meaning each port must deliver up to 30 W. If your existing switch plant is 802.3af-only, deploying the Pelco will require switch upgrades or injectors, which adds cost and complexity to the installation.
