i-PRO S4576LMA vs Pelco SRXF3-12360-I: Specification Comparison
Both the i-PRO WV-S4576LMA and the Pelco SRXF3-12360-I are 12MP fisheye cameras targeting single-point 360-degree coverage — a deployment where one unit replaces multiple fixed cameras. The i-PRO is rated for outdoor use with IR illumination and deep AI analytics; the Pelco is an indoor unit without IR but with a higher-resolution output format and PoE+ power. This comparison examines imaging capability, installation and environmental suitability, and integration requirements to help installers and IT buyers determine which fits their project.

How do the imaging specs compare?
The i-PRO WV-S4576LMA uses an approximately 1/2-type 12MP CMOS sensor with a 1.4 mm focal length lens at f/1.9 aperture, capturing up to 2992×2992 pixels in fisheye mode at 30 fps. Minimum illumination is specified at 0.3 lx color and 0.04 lx B&W, supported by onboard IR LEDs rated to 14 m. Wide dynamic range reaches a maximum of 84 dB when WDR is set to level 31. The Pelco SRXF3-12360-I lists a 2.7 mm focal length at f/2.5 aperture and a maximum output resolution of 3840×2160 — a 4K UHD rectangular format — at 12.5 fps full resolution. Minimum illumination for the Pelco is noted as 0.10 lx; no IR illuminators are specified. The Pelco spec sheet lists WDR as a feature with an upper bound of 83 dB; the i-PRO's aperture is faster at f/1.9 vs f/2.5 and its 0.04 lx B&W floor is significantly lower.
Frame rate is a meaningful delta: the i-PRO delivers 30 fps at its native 2992×2992 fisheye resolution, while the Pelco is specified at 12.5 fps at full 3840×2160. The Pelco's higher pixel-count output format may benefit forensic zoom in post, but the i-PRO's higher frame rate and lower minimum illumination give it the advantage in motion capture and low-light scenes. The i-PRO aperture advantage (f/1.9 vs f/2.5) passes approximately 78% more light to the sensor before any gain is applied.
What about installation and environment?
The i-PRO WV-S4576LMA carries an IP66 and NEMA 4X ingress rating, IK10 impact resistance, a wind resistance rating up to 40 m/s (~89 mph), and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +60°C. It includes a Rosahl anti-condensation element and carries EN45545 and EN50155 railway application compliance. Physical dimensions are ø154 mm × 60.3 mm (H) with a mass of approximately 880 g. These ratings make it suitable for exposed outdoor installations including transit and industrial environments.
The Pelco SRXF3-12360-I is rated IP52 and IK10, with an operating temperature of -10°C to +60°C. IP52 provides limited dust and drip protection only — it is an indoor ceiling-mount product and is not suitable for outdoor or washdown environments. Its stated dimensions are 6" × 6" × 2.81". Power requirements also differ: the i-PRO draws PoE IEEE 802.3af (Class 0, up to 15.4 W budget), while the Pelco requires PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at, Class 3, up to 30 W budget). Installers must verify switch port capability accordingly.
Which fits your VMS and analytics better?
The i-PRO WV-S4576LMA supports ONVIF Profiles G, M, S, and T, covering recording, metadata, streaming, and PTZ-over-ONVIF. Its edge analytics suite includes AI-VMD, AI People Counting for 360-degree fisheye, AI Privacy Guard, AI Scene Change Detection, and AI Sound Classification (gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, glass break). It provides 3 alarm inputs and 1 alarm output on external I/O terminals, plus mic/line audio input and audio output via 3.5 mm jacks. The camera also supports microSD edge storage and monitor output via a 3.5 mm BNC-compatible jack. Nine GUI languages are listed.
The Pelco SRXF3-12360-I supports ONVIF Profile S and Profile T but does not list Profiles G or M in the provided specifications, which may limit server-based recording integration on certain VMS platforms that rely on Profile G for edge storage management. Pelco Smart Analytics covers 8 behaviors; specific behavior names are not enumerated in the provided spec sheet. The Pelco spec lists microphone support and microSD storage. Audio output is not specified. H.264 compression is confirmed for the Pelco; H.265 is listed in the enriched spec fields but is not confirmed in the primary manufacturer spec block — buyers should verify directly with Pelco. The i-PRO lists H.265 and H.264 explicitly.
Which should you choose: the S4576LMA or the SRXF3-12360-I?
Our take: The WV-S4576LMA is the stronger choice when outdoor deployment, low-light performance, or deep AI analytics are project requirements. Three concrete spec deltas support this: first, the i-PRO's minimum illumination of 0.04 lx B&W with 14 m onboard IR versus the Pelco's 0.10 lx with no IR illuminators — a meaningful gap in dark or unlit environments; second, 30 fps at native fisheye resolution versus 12.5 fps for the Pelco, which affects motion clarity; third, IP66/NEMA 4X versus IP52, making the i-PRO the only option for any outdoor or harsh-environment site. The Pelco SRXF3-12360-I is appropriate where the installation is indoors, ambient lighting is adequate, a PoE+ port is available, and the 3840×2160 output format is preferred for its forensic zoom potential. Buyers running a Pelco VMS ecosystem should also weigh native driver support for the SRXF3-12360-I as a factor outside these specs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which should you choose: the S4576LMA or the SRXF3-12360-I?
The WV-S4576LMA is the stronger choice when outdoor deployment, low-light performance, or deep AI analytics are project requirements. Three concrete spec deltas support this: first, the i-PRO's minimum illumination of 0.04 lx B&W with 14 m onboard IR versus the Pelco's 0.10 lx with no IR illuminators — a meaningful gap in dark or unlit environments; second, 30 fps at native fisheye resolution versus 12.5 fps for the Pelco, which affects motion clarity; third, IP66/NEMA 4X versus IP52, making the i-PRO the only option for any outdoor or harsh-environment site. The Pelco SRXF3-12360-I is appropriate where the installation is indoors, ambient lighting is adequate, a PoE+ port is available, and the 3840×2160 output format is preferred for its forensic zoom potential. Buyers running a Pelco VMS ecosystem should also weigh native driver support for the SRXF3-12360-I as a factor outside these specs.
Is the i-PRO WV-S4576LMA or the Pelco SRXF3-12360-I better for low-light performance?
Based on published specs, the i-PRO WV-S4576LMA has the lower minimum illumination floor — 0.04 lx in B&W mode versus 0.10 lx for the Pelco — and adds 14 m IR LEDs for completely dark environments. The Pelco specifies no IR illuminators, so it depends entirely on ambient light. For low-light or zero-lux conditions, the i-PRO has the documented advantage.
Can the Pelco SRXF3-12360-I be installed outdoors?
No — based on the provided specifications, the Pelco SRXF3-12360-I carries an IP52 rating, which covers limited dust ingress and protection against vertically dripping water only. It is specified as an indoor camera. The i-PRO WV-S4576LMA is rated IP66 and NEMA 4X, making it suitable for outdoor environments. Do not install the Pelco outdoors or in washdown areas.
Do both cameras work with standard PoE switches, or do I need PoE+?
The i-PRO WV-S4576LMA is powered by standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af, Class 0) or DC 12V, so a standard PoE switch port is sufficient. The Pelco SRXF3-12360-I requires PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at, Class 3), which delivers up to 30 W. Not all switches support PoE+ on every port — confirm your switch's per-port power budget before deploying the Pelco unit.
