i-PRO S85402-V2L1 vs i-PRO U85402-V2L: Specification Comparison
Both the i-PRO WV-S85402-V2L1 and WV-U85402-V2L are outdoor dual-dome IP cameras sharing the same 2×4MP (8MP total) sensor class, 2.5x motorized zoom, IK10-rated dome housing, and AI-capable platform. They occupy the same product tier and are directly cross-shoppable by installers evaluating perimeter or multi-lane surveillance deployments. The comparison below is drawn exclusively from the provided specifications for each model, with differences noted where specs diverge.

How do the imaging specs compare?
Both cameras use identical dual 1/2.7-type CMOS sensors at 2688×1520 per channel, 30 fps, with a 2.9–7.3 mm motorized zoom (2.5x optical, up to 10.5x extra zoom at 640×360), identical angular field of view (43–100° H, 24–56° V), and an identical minimum illumination of 0.12 lux (B/W, 50IRE, F2.0, 1/30s). IR range is specified as 40 m on both, though the S85402-V2L1 lists 40 m at High/30 m at 50IRE, while the U85402-V2L lists 40 m at 30IRE/30 m at 50IRE—a minor measurement-condition difference, not a physical IR output difference derivable from these specs alone. Dynamic range is identical at 108 dB maximum (Super Dynamic On, Level 31).
The SoC differs: the S85402-V2L1 uses an Ambarella CV2, while the U85402-V2L uses an Ambarella CV22. Both support the same white balance modes (ATW1/ATW2/AWC), shutter range (1/10000s–16s), AGC range (0–11), DNR range (0–255), and adaptive black stretch (0–255). The S85402-V2L1 explicitly lists AI Sound Classification (gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, glass break) and AI Video Analytics (6 types); the U85402-V2L lists neither AI Sound Classification nor AI Analytics in its spec fields—those fields are blank or absent for Model B.
What about installation and environment?
Both cameras share identical physical dimensions (250 mm D × 150 mm W × 105 mm H), identical weight (approx. 1.8 kg), identical operating temperature range (−40°C to +60°C), identical humidity tolerance (10–100%, no condensation), identical Temish anti-condensation element, IK10 impact resistance, wind resistance up to 40 m/s, and NEMA 4X / NEMA TS 2 compliance. Both carry IP66 and IP67 dual ratings per IEC 60529 per the water/dust resistance spec field. However, the product-type IP Rating tag differs: the S85402-V2L1 is tagged IP66, while the U85402-V2L is tagged IP67—buyers should verify against the full IEC 60529 test report if ingress protection is a contractual requirement.
Power differs meaningfully: the S85402-V2L1 is specified as PoE+ at 22.2 W (IEEE 802.3at only), while the U85402-V2L supports PoE+ at 18.9 W or DC 54V as an alternative supply. The U85402-V2L's lower PoE draw (18.9 W vs. 22.2 W) may matter at budget-constrained midspan or switch ports. Both finish in aluminum body/die-cast construction with stainless steel hardware and PC dome/resin.
Which fits your VMS and analytics better?
ONVIF profile support diverges: the S85402-V2L1 supports Profiles G, M, S, and T, while the U85402-V2L supports Profiles G, S, and T only—Profile M (metadata streaming) is absent on Model B. Both support 24 simultaneous users, identical network interface (10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45), identical protocol stack (IPv6, HTTPS, MQTT, SNMPv1/v2/v3, IEEE 802.1X, etc.), and identical security certification (FIPS 140-2 Level 3, HTTPS, 802.1X). Edge storage is identical: microSD up to 512 GB (microSDXC) on both. The S85402-V2L1 alarm actions include email, HTTP, TCP notification, and SD recording; the U85402-V2L lists email, HTTP, and TCP notification—SD recording is not listed as an alarm action for Model B.
Audio I/O is present on both, though spec detail differs. The S85402-V2L1 lists three 3.5 mm stereo jacks for audio input (−48 dB ±3 dB) and one stereo output (−20 dBV), plus three alarm terminals (IN/OUT/AUX). The U85402-V2L lists one 3.5 mm stereo mini jack input (−48 dB) and one mono jack output (600 Ω, −20 dBV), also with three alarm I/O terminals. AI Sound Classification (gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, glass break) and the six-type AI Video Analytics suite are specified only for the S85402-V2L1; the U85402-V2L's analytics fields are not populated in the provided specs.
Which should you choose: the S85402-V2L1 or the U85402-V2L?
Our take: The S85402-V2L1 is the stronger choice when edge AI analytics, richer ONVIF metadata integration, or multi-input audio capability are deployment requirements. It adds ONVIF Profile M (metadata streaming, absent on the U85402-V2L), AI Video Analytics (6 types) and AI Sound Classification (gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, glass break)—neither of which is listed for the U85402-V2L—and three audio inputs versus one. It also supports SD recording as an alarm action, which the U85402-V2L does not list. The trade-off is higher PoE draw: 22.2 W versus the U85402-V2L's 18.9 W, and the U85402-V2L adds a DC 54V power alternative useful where PoE infrastructure is limited. Where analytics will be handled entirely by a VMS and power budget is constrained, the U85402-V2L delivers the same optical and environmental performance at lower switch-port load.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which should you choose: the S85402-V2L1 or the U85402-V2L?
The S85402-V2L1 is the stronger choice when edge AI analytics, richer ONVIF metadata integration, or multi-input audio capability are deployment requirements. It adds ONVIF Profile M (metadata streaming, absent on the U85402-V2L), AI Video Analytics (6 types) and AI Sound Classification (gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, glass break)—neither of which is listed for the U85402-V2L—and three audio inputs versus one. It also supports SD recording as an alarm action, which the U85402-V2L does not list. The trade-off is higher PoE draw: 22.2 W versus the U85402-V2L's 18.9 W, and the U85402-V2L adds a DC 54V power alternative useful where PoE infrastructure is limited. Where analytics will be handled entirely by a VMS and power budget is constrained, the U85402-V2L delivers the same optical and environmental performance at lower switch-port load.
Is the S85402-V2L1 or U85402-V2L better for low light?
Based on the provided specifications, both cameras share an identical minimum illumination figure of 0.12 lux (B/W, 50IRE, F2.0, 1/30s) and identical IR range of 40 m. Neither spec package gives a color low-light illumination figure for Model B. No performance difference in low-light sensitivity can be claimed from the available specs.
Can both cameras work with my existing VMS via ONVIF?
Both support ONVIF Profiles G, S, and T. The S85402-V2L1 additionally supports ONVIF Profile M, which enables metadata streaming (used for AI analytics events, object classification, etc.). If your VMS relies on Profile M for AI event ingestion, the S85402-V2L1 is the compatible choice; the U85402-V2L does not list Profile M in its specifications.
Which camera is easier to power if my switch ports are limited to 25.5 W (802.3at standard maximum)?
The U85402-V2L draws 18.9 W via PoE+ and also accepts DC 54V as an alternative, giving it more installation flexibility at constrained switch ports. The S85402-V2L1 draws 22.2 W via PoE+ with no DC alternative listed, so it consumes more of the 802.3at budget and offers no fallback power path per the provided specifications.
