i-PRO S71300A-F3 vs i-PRO U11300-V2: Specification Comparison
Both the i-PRO WV-S71300A-F3 and WV-U11300-V2 are 2MP indoor wired box cameras sharing the same 1/2.8-type CMOS sensor and 30fps frame rate, making them a legitimate cross-shop for installers evaluating indoor box-form-factor IP cameras. The key differentiators are lens architecture (fixed vs. motorized varifocal), low-light capability, dynamic range, and on-board analytics depth. This comparison draws exclusively from the provided specifications for each model.

How do the imaging specs compare?
Both cameras use an approximately 1/2.8-type CMOS sensor delivering 1920×1080 at 30fps with H.265/H.264 compression and a shared G.726/G.711/AAC-LC audio codec set. The S71300A-F3 uses a fixed 3.2mm F2.0 lens providing an 81.1° (H) × 51.4° (V) field of view with no optical zoom and a digital extra zoom of 1.0–3.0× at 640×360 resolution. The U11300-V2 features a motorized 2.5× varifocal lens spanning 2.9–7.3mm (F2.0 wide, F3.0 tele), yielding a horizontal field of view of 43°–100°, giving installers post-mount focal-length adjustment without physical lens swaps.
Low-light performance diverges significantly. The S71300A-F3 is rated at 0.2 lux minimum illumination (the spec does not separately list a color figure). The U11300-V2 is rated at 0.1 lx color / 0.04 lx B&W at one sensitivity tier, and 0.006 lx color / 0.0025 lx B&W at its lower limit — a roughly 33× advantage in extreme low light. The U11300-V2 also adds Super Dynamic WDR up to 120 dB (level 0–31 adjustable), a spec absent from the S71300A-F3 provided data. DORI ranges differ accordingly: the S71300A-F3 detects at 44.9m fixed, while the U11300-V2 spans 32.2m (wide) to 97.5m (tele) at the detect tier, reflecting the zoom range trade-off.
What about installation and environment?
Both cameras are rated IP44 (per the S71300A-F3 spec) and indoor-only. The U11300-V2 spec does not list an IP rating in the provided data — installers should confirm before deploying in any wet or dusty area. Neither model lists an IK impact rating in the provided specifications. Operating temperature for the S71300A-F3 is −10°C to +40°C (14°F to 104°F); the U11300-V2 operates across a wider −10°C to +50°C (14°F to 122°F) range, a meaningful advantage in warmer plant or server-room environments.
Power differs in PoE class: the S71300A-F3 is listed as PoE Class 0 (up to ~15.4W allocated by the switch), while the U11300-V2 is PoE Class 2 with a specified 4.3W draw, offering more predictable switch power budgeting. Both use 802.3af. Form factor for both is box-style with RJ45 10/100Base-TX. The U11300-V2 provides published dimensions of 59mm (W) × 49mm (H) × 116mm (D) at approximately 165g; the S71300A-F3 lists 157g but does not provide body dimensions in the supplied spec data.
Which fits your VMS and analytics better?
Both cameras are ONVIF-compliant and support up to 14 simultaneous users. The U11300-V2 specifies ONVIF Profiles G, S, and T explicitly; the S71300A-F3 lists ONVIF compatibility but does not specify which profiles are supported in the provided data. The U11300-V2 publishes an extensive IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stack including RTSP, SRTP, MQTT, SFTP, LLDP, SNMPv1/v2/v3, IEEE 802.1X, and DHCPv6; the S71300A-F3 protocol list is not enumerated in the provided specs. The U11300-V2 also lists UL/c-UL/CE/IEC62368-1 and FCC/ICES/EN safety and EMC certifications; equivalent certifications for the S71300A-F3 are not provided.
Analytics depth favors the S71300A-F3 materially. It carries an Ambarella CV22 SoC and eight AI detection types including people, faces, vehicles, non-mask detection, occupancy, and AI sound classification (gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, glass break), plus scene change detection, audio detection, and signed firmware. The U11300-V2 analytics are limited to VMD (4 areas), SCD (1 area), and audio detection per the provided spec; no AI object classification or sound classification is listed. Both support microSD local storage (the U11300-V2 explicitly supports 2GB–512GB SD/SDHC/SDXC); the S71300A-F3 lists microSD support without capacity range in the provided data. Both include built-in microphones and HTTPS encryption.
Which should you choose: the S71300A-F3 or the U11300-V2?
Our take: The S71300A-F3 is the stronger choice when edge AI analytics are a deployment requirement. It provides eight AI detection types — people, faces, vehicles, non-mask, occupancy, plus audio classification for gunshot, yell, horn, and glass break — on an Ambarella CV22 SoC, none of which appear in the U11300-V2 spec. Conversely, the U11300-V2 is the better fit when optical flexibility or extreme low-light performance are priorities: its 2.5× motorized varifocal lens (2.9–7.3mm, 43°–100° H-FoV) eliminates fixed-lens repointing, its 0.006 lx color minimum illumination is roughly 33× more sensitive than the S71300A-F3's stated 0.2 lux, and its 120 dB Super Dynamic WDR handles high-contrast scenes the S71300A-F3 spec does not address. The U11300-V2 also supports a wider operating temperature (+50°C vs. +40°C) and draws only 4.3W (PoE Class 2). Choose the S71300A-F3 for analytics-driven indoor monitoring with a fixed field of view; choose the U11300-V2 for scenes demanding zoom flexibility, superior low light, or wide dynamic range.

Is the S71300A-F3 or U11300-V2 better for low-light indoor surveillance?
The U11300-V2 is significantly more capable in low light. Its specified minimum illumination is 0.006 lx (color) and 0.0025 lx (B&W), compared to 0.2 lux for the S71300A-F3 — approximately a 33× sensitivity advantage. The U11300-V2 also adds ICR with IR control and a 120 dB Super Dynamic WDR mode; equivalent WDR figures are not provided for the S71300A-F3.
Which camera has better built-in analytics — the S71300A-F3 or the U11300-V2?
The S71300A-F3 has substantially deeper analytics per the provided specs: eight AI detection types (people, faces, vehicles, non-mask, occupancy, and more) plus AI sound classification for gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, and glass break, running on an Ambarella CV22 SoC. The U11300-V2 is listed with VMD (4 areas), SCD (1 area), and audio detection only — no AI object or sound classification is specified.
Can I adjust the field of view after mounting on either camera?
Only the U11300-V2 supports post-mount field-of-view adjustment. It has a 2.5× motorized varifocal lens (2.9–7.3mm) with motorized zoom and focus, providing a horizontal FoV of 43°–100°.
