How do the imaging specs compare?

The i-PRO WV-S4576LA uses an approximately 1/2-type 12MP CMOS sensor with a 1.4 mm fixed fisheye lens at f/1.9, delivering a 183° horizontal and 183° vertical field of view and a minimum illumination of 0.3 lx in color and 0.04 lx in black-and-white. Its onboard IR illuminators reach a maximum range of 14 m (45 ft). Wide dynamic range is spec'd at a maximum of 84 dB (WDR on, level 31), and the camera supports image compensation features including adaptive black stretch, BLC, fog compensation, HLC, and DNR. Maximum shutter speed reaches 1/10000 s.

The Pelco SRXF3-12360-ERS carries a 12MP sensor at a maximum output of 3840×2160 pixels with a 2.7 mm f/2.5 lens (aperture also noted as F2.0 in one spec field) and a 180°/360° field of view. Its frame rate is specified at 12.5 fps at full resolution. WDR is listed as supported with a noted value of up to 83 dB. Minimum illumination, IR range in meters, and operating lux floor are not specified in the provided data. Integrated IR illumination is confirmed but no distance or wavelength figure is provided beyond the 850 nm IR notation.

What about installation and environment?

Both cameras carry IP66 and NEMA 4X ingress protection ratings and an IK10 impact resistance rating, making them equivalent in environmental hardening for outdoor deployment. Both are rated for an operating temperature range of -40°C to +60°C (the S4576LA specifies -40°C to +50°C with IR on and -40°C to +60°C with IR off; the SRXF3-12360-ERS lists a flat -40°C to +60°C). The S4576LA additionally specifies wind resistance up to 40 m/s (~89 mph), EN50155-TX railway compliance, an anti-condensation Rosahl element, and ambient operating humidity of 10–100%. No equivalent supplemental environmental ratings are listed for the SRXF3-12360-ERS in the provided specs.

On power, the S4576LA accepts DC 12V or PoE per IEEE 802.3af (Class 0), while the SRXF3-12360-ERS requires PoE+ per IEEE 802.3at (Class 3). Installers must verify midspan or switch port PoE budget accordingly; the Pelco unit's PoE+ requirement may constrain switch selection in legacy PoE-only infrastructures. The S4576LA lists wall, ceiling, and rack mount types; the SRXF3-12360-ERS lists wall, ceiling, pole, pendant, and corner mounts. The S4576LA also specifies a fixing angle adjustment of -5°, 0°, +5°. Dimensions are provided for the SRXF3-12360-ERS (153.5 mm × 153.5 mm × 71.3 mm, weight ~1.001 kg with wall mount); the S4576LA lists mass as approximately 880 g (plate) / 1.3 kg (bracket) but does not provide dimensional measurements in the supplied specs.

Which fits your VMS and analytics better?

The i-PRO WV-S4576LA supports ONVIF Profiles G, M, S, and T, while the Pelco SRXF3-12360-ERS supports ONVIF Profile S and Profile T only. The absence of Profile G on the Pelco unit means native ONVIF-based edge recording and retrieval workflows supported by Profile G-compliant VMSs are available only on the i-PRO. The S4576LA's SoC is identified as the Ambarella CV22, supporting a documented AI analytics suite: AI-VMD, AI People Counting (360° fisheye), AI Privacy Guard (360° fisheye), AI Scene Change Detection, and AI Sound Classification (gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, glass break). VMD is configurable across 4 areas; Scene Change Detection covers 1 area. The Pelco SRXF3-12360-ERS lists Pelco Smart Analytics with 8 behaviors but does not enumerate those behaviors in the provided specifications.

Both cameras support audio input (the S4576LA specifies mic/line input, audio output via 3.5 mm stereo jack, and G.726/G.711 compression; the SRXF3-12360-ERS notes microphone support but does not specify audio output or compression codec in the provided data). Both support microSD edge storage. The S4576LA specifies up to 14 concurrent users, alarm I/O (3× alarm in, 1× alarm out, 1× AUX out), and compatibility with iPad/iPhone and Android terminals. The SRXF3-12360-ERS lists 4 GB RAM and 4 GB Flash onboard memory; no equivalent figure is provided for the S4576LA. The S4576LA supports H.265 and H.264 with CBR/VBR and Smart Coding (GOP control, Auto VIQS); H.265 support for the SRXF3-12360-ERS is listed in one spec field but the primary video compression spec lists H.264 only—buyers should verify H.265 availability with Pelco before specifying.

Which should you choose: the S4576LA or the SRXF3-12360-ERS?

Our take: The S4576LA is the stronger choice when AI-driven analytics, broader ONVIF profile support, and a lower PoE power budget are priorities. Key spec deltas: the S4576LA delivers a wider 183°×183° FOV versus the Pelco's 180°/360° spec, operates on standard PoE 802.3af (Class 0) while the SRXF3-12360-ERS requires PoE+ 802.3at (Class 3), and supports ONVIF Profiles G, M, S, and T versus the Pelco's Profile S and T only—directly affecting edge-recording interoperability. The S4576LA also provides documented minimum illumination (0.3 lx color / 0.04 lx B&W) and an IR range of 14 m, whereas the SRXF3-12360-ERS does not specify lux floor or IR distance in the available data. The SRXF3-12360-ERS may suit Pelco VMS-centric deployments with PoE+ infrastructure already in place, and its five additional mount type options (pole, pendant, corner) add flexibility. Both carry a 5-year warranty and identical IP66/IK10/NEMA 4X ratings.
