i-PRO S4576LA vs Pelco SRXF3-12360-I: Specification Comparison
Both the i-PRO WV-S4576LA and the Pelco SRXF3-12360-I are 12MP fisheye IP cameras designed to deliver panoramic 360-degree coverage from a single mounting point, placing them squarely in the same resolution class and camera-type category. This comparison examines how their imaging capabilities, installation requirements, and integration features differ — giving installers and IT buyers the spec-level detail needed to match each camera to the right deployment scenario.

How do the imaging specs compare?
The i-PRO WV-S4576LA uses an approx. 1/2-type 12MP CMOS sensor with a 1.4 mm fixed fisheye lens delivering a 183° horizontal and vertical field of view. It achieves minimum illumination of 0.3 lx in color and 0.04 lx in monochrome, supported by built-in IR LEDs rated to 14 m (45 ft) maximum range. Dynamic range is specified at up to 84 dB with WDR enabled at level 31. Maximum frame rate is 25 fps. The Pelco SRXF3-12360-I also carries a 12MP sensor and is listed with a 2.7 mm f/2.5 lens (though the spec sheet also lists 1.4 mm focal length — an internal inconsistency noted as-is), covering 180°/360° field of view. Its minimum illumination is listed at 0.10 lux with no IR illuminator; the camera relies entirely on ambient light. WDR is present but maximum dB value is not stated in the provided specs. Frame rate is 12.5 fps at full 3840×2160 resolution.
In low-light performance, the i-PRO holds a clear measurable advantage: its 0.04 lx monochrome threshold — backed by active 14 m IR — allows operation in near-total darkness, whereas the Pelco's 0.10 lux color floor and absence of IR illumination requires ambient lighting to be present at all times. For frame rate, the i-PRO's 25 fps versus the Pelco's 12.5 fps at 4K means the i-PRO captures motion with significantly less blur at full resolution. The Pelco does specify a maximum resolution of 3840×2160 explicitly; the i-PRO's native 12MP output resolution in pixel dimensions is not broken out in the provided specs.
What about installation and environment?
The i-PRO WV-S4576LA carries an IP66 rating (IEC60529) and NEMA 4X compliance, making it suitable for outdoor deployment with protection against dust ingress and powerful water jets. It is also IK10 impact-rated (IEC 62262) and tested for shock resistance to 50 J per IEC 60068-2-75. Its operating temperature range is -40°C to +50°C with IR on and -40°C to +60°C with IR off, and it is wind-resistant to 40 m/s (~89 mph). It includes an anti-condensation Rosahl element and carries the EN50155-TX railway application rating. Power is via PoE IEEE 802.3af (Class 0) or DC 12V.
The Pelco SRXF3-12360-I is rated IP52 — splash-resistant but not jet-proof — and is classified as an indoor camera with an operating temperature range of -10°C to +60°C. It shares the IK10 impact rating. Power requires PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at, Class 3), which demands a PoE+ capable switch port rather than the more common 802.3af. Physical dimensions are 6" × 6" × 2.81". The i-PRO's IP66/NEMA 4X rating versus the Pelco's IP52 is the decisive environmental differentiator: the SRXF3-12360-I is not suited for outdoor or wash-down environments, while the WV-S4576LA is explicitly rated for both.
Which fits your VMS and analytics better?
The i-PRO WV-S4576LA supports ONVIF Profiles G, M, S, and T — the broadest set in this comparison — while the Pelco SRXF3-12360-I supports ONVIF Profile S and Profile T only. On-board analytics differ substantially: the i-PRO offers AI-VMD, AI People Counting for fisheye, AI Privacy Guard for fisheye, AI Scene Change Detection, audio detection, and AI Sound Classification (gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, glass break), all running on an Ambarella CV22 SoC. The Pelco provides Pelco Smart Analytics with 8 configurable behaviors; specific behavior names are not enumerated in the provided specs.
Both cameras include microSD edge storage support. The i-PRO provides line-level audio input and output (3.5 mm stereo mini jack, G.711/G.726 compression) plus three alarm inputs and one alarm output for external I/O. The Pelco lists microphone support but detailed audio I/O specs — including connector type, compression codec, and alarm terminal count — are not provided in the supplied specifications. The i-PRO also supports up to 14 concurrent users and lists mobile compatibility with iPad/iPhone and Android. The Pelco's concurrent user limit and mobile compatibility are not specified in the provided data.
Which should you choose: the S4576LA or the SRXF3-12360-I?
Our take: The WV-S4576LA is the stronger choice when the deployment is outdoors, in low-light conditions, or requires deep edge AI analytics. Its IP66/NEMA 4X rating versus the SRXF3-12360-I's IP52 makes it the only viable option for exterior or wash-down environments. In low light, the i-PRO's 0.04 lx monochrome threshold with 14 m active IR far outperforms the Pelco's 0.10 lux ambient-only floor — a gap that is operationally significant in unlit or dimly lit scenes. The i-PRO also delivers 25 fps against the Pelco's 12.5 fps at full resolution, reducing motion blur on moving subjects. The SRXF3-12360-I is appropriate for controlled indoor ceiling installations where ambient lighting is guaranteed, PoE+ infrastructure is already in place, and integration is limited to ONVIF Profile S/T VMSes. Both carry 5-year warranties and IK10 impact ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which should you choose: the S4576LA or the SRXF3-12360-I?
The WV-S4576LA is the stronger choice when the deployment is outdoors, in low-light conditions, or requires deep edge AI analytics. Its IP66/NEMA 4X rating versus the SRXF3-12360-I's IP52 makes it the only viable option for exterior or wash-down environments. In low light, the i-PRO's 0.04 lx monochrome threshold with 14 m active IR far outperforms the Pelco's 0.10 lux ambient-only floor — a gap that is operationally significant in unlit or dimly lit scenes. The i-PRO also delivers 25 fps against the Pelco's 12.5 fps at full resolution, reducing motion blur on moving subjects. The SRXF3-12360-I is appropriate for controlled indoor ceiling installations where ambient lighting is guaranteed, PoE+ infrastructure is already in place, and integration is limited to ONVIF Profile S/T VMSes. Both carry 5-year warranties and IK10 impact ratings.
Is the i-PRO WV-S4576LA or the Pelco SRXF3-12360-I better for low-light surveillance?
The i-PRO WV-S4576LA is significantly better for low-light use. Its minimum illumination is 0.04 lx in monochrome mode, supported by built-in IR LEDs with a 14 m range, allowing it to operate in near-total darkness. The Pelco SRXF3-12360-I has a minimum illumination of 0.10 lux and no IR illuminator, so it depends entirely on ambient light being present. If the scene has no external lighting, the Pelco will not produce a usable image.
Can I install the Pelco SRXF3-12360-I outdoors?
No. The SRXF3-12360-I is rated IP52, which provides only limited splash protection and is insufficient for outdoor exposure to rain, dust, or power-washing. It is classified as an indoor camera in its provided specifications. The i-PRO WV-S4576LA, rated IP66 and NEMA 4X, is designed and rated for outdoor installation.
Do both cameras need the same PoE switch port?
No. The i-PRO WV-S4576LA operates on standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af, Class 0), available on virtually all managed PoE switches. The Pelco SRXF3-12360-I requires PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at, Class 3), which delivers up to 30 W and demands a PoE+-capable switch port. If your existing switch supports only 802.3af, you would need to upgrade the switch or use a PoE+ injector to power the Pelco.
