i-PRO X25300-V3LN vs i-PRO X35302-F2L: Specification Comparison
Both the i-PRO WV-X25300-V3LN and WV-X35302-F2L are wired, outdoor IP dome cameras sharing the same 1/2.8-type CMOS sensor, 144 dB Super Dynamic WDR, IK10 vandal resistance, and ONVIF G/M/S/T compliance — placing them squarely in the same 2MP outdoor-dome cross-shop tier. The key differentiators are lens architecture (3.1x motorized zoom vs. 2.4 mm fixed wide-angle), IR range (70 m vs. 21 m), power budget (PoE+ vs. PoE), resolution output (1080p vs. 3MP-class 2048×1536), and railway-rated environmental certification on the F2L.

How do the imaging specs compare?
Both cameras share a 1/2.8-type CMOS sensor with identical 5.57 mm × 3.13 mm scanning area and the same 144 dB maximum dynamic range via Super Dynamic level 31. The X25300-V3LN outputs 1920×1080 at up to 30 fps with a 3.1x motorized zoom lens spanning 2.9–9 mm (F1.3 wide, F2.5 tele), delivering a 36–113° horizontal FOV and a DORI detect range of 25.4 m (wide) to 118.2 m (tele). Its minimum illumination reaches 0.005 lx in B&W, and its IR illuminators extend to 70 m. The X35302-F2L outputs a higher pixel count of 2048×1536 (approximately 3.1 MP effective) through a fixed 2.4 mm F2.1 lens, yielding a 132° horizontal FOV — useful for wide-area coverage — but with a DORI detect range of only 17.1 m and IR reach of 21 m (30 IRE) / 15 m (50 IRE). Its minimum illumination is 0.02 lx color / 0 lx with IR active.
The X25300-V3LN's built-in gyro image stabilizer (active in 30 fps mode) and adjustable zoom give it a significant advantage in detecting and classifying subjects at distance. The X35302-F2L trades detection range for a wider instantaneous FOV and marginally higher raw pixel count per frame, which can benefit forensic detail in close-proximity, wide-angle scenes. Both support fog compensation (0–8 levels), BLC/HLC (0–31), adaptive black stretch (0–255), and identical digital noise reduction ranges. The X25300-V3LN adds extra zoom up to 9.3x at 640×360 resolution; the X35302-F2L provides extra zoom up to 3.0x at the same reduced resolution.
What about installation and environment?
The X25300-V3LN carries dual IP66/IP67 ratings plus NEMA 4X and Type 4X, while the X35302-F2L is rated IP66/NEMA 4X/Type 4X only — IP67 submersion protection is absent on the F2L. Both achieve IK10 impact resistance and 40 m/s wind tolerance. Operating temperature ranges differ slightly: the X25300-V3LN operates at -40 to +55 °C (power-on minimum -30 °C), while the X35302-F2L operates at -40 to +60 °C (power-on minimum -20 °C), giving the F2L a 5 °C higher ceiling. The F2L additionally carries EN50155, JIS E5006, IEC62236, and EN50121 railway and vehicle application certifications not listed for the X25300-V3LN.
Power requirements diverge meaningfully: the X25300-V3LN requires DC 12V or PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at, PoE Class 4) at up to 14 W, while the X35302-F2L operates on standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af, PoE Class 0) at a maximum of 8.6 W. This means the F2L is compatible with a wider range of existing PoE switches without upgrade. Physically, the X25300-V3LN is considerably larger (ø154 mm × 105 mm H, 1.1 kg) versus the F2L's compact 109 mm × 53 mm × 119 mm footprint at 475 g. The X25300-V3LN lists both wall and rack mount types; the X35302-F2L lists rack mount only per the provided spec data.
Which fits your VMS and analytics better?
Both cameras support ONVIF Profiles G, M, S, and T, ensuring broad VMS compatibility. Each supports up to 14 simultaneous users, FIPS 140-2 Level 3 security, HTTPS, IEEE 802.1X, microSDXC up to 512 GB edge storage, and the same nine-language GUI. The X25300-V3LN's supported protocol list includes RTSP, RTP/RTCP, SRTP, UPnP, IGMP, ICMP, ARP, and FTP/SFTP over IPv4. The X35302-F2L adds explicit IPv6 support (TCP/IP, UDP/IP, HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, DNS, NTP, SNMPv1/v2/v3, DHCPv6, RTP, MLD, ICMP) alongside the IPv4 stack, which is relevant for dual-stack or IPv6-primary network environments. The F2L also specifies Smart Coding with GOP control (Off/Low/Mid/Advanced), not listed for the X25300-V3LN.
On-edge AI analytics differ: the X25300-V3LN includes AI motion detection, face detection, people detection, vehicle detection, and occupancy/privacy analytics, plus AI sound classification (gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, glass break) and audio detection. The X35302-F2L lists AI VMD, face detection, and people detection; vehicle detection is not explicitly listed in its AI Analytics field. Both provide VMD (4 areas), SCD (1 area), audio detection, and up to 8 privacy zones and 8 VIQS zones. The X25300-V3LN specifies a 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack audio input and 3.5 mm mono audio output with 4 alarm I/O terminals (2 in, 2 out); the X35302-F2L specifies a built-in microphone but alarm I/O terminal count is not provided in the supplied spec data.
Which should you choose: the X25300-V3LN or the X35302-F2L?
Our take: The X25300-V3LN is the stronger choice when detection range, IR reach, and a full alarm I/O terminal set are priorities. Its 3.1x motorized zoom extends the DORI detect range to 118.2 m (tele) versus the X35302-F2L's fixed 17.1 m, and its 70 m IR illumination outreaches the F2L's 21 m (30 IRE) by a factor of 3.3x. It also adds IP67 submersion protection, image stabilization, and explicit vehicle detection in its AI analytics suite, at the cost of requiring PoE+ (up to 14 W vs. 8.6 W) and a significantly larger, heavier housing. The X35302-F2L is the better fit when infrastructure is limited to 802.3af PoE switches, the installation site demands a compact low-profile dome, IPv6 network support is required, railway/vehicle-application certifications (EN50155/EN50121) are mandatory, or a 132° wide-angle fixed view is preferred over zoom-based coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which should you choose: the X25300-V3LN or the X35302-F2L?
The X25300-V3LN is the stronger choice when detection range, IR reach, and a full alarm I/O terminal set are priorities. Its 3.1x motorized zoom extends the DORI detect range to 118.2 m (tele) versus the X35302-F2L's fixed 17.1 m, and its 70 m IR illumination outreaches the F2L's 21 m (30 IRE) by a factor of 3.3x. It also adds IP67 submersion protection, image stabilization, and explicit vehicle detection in its AI analytics suite, at the cost of requiring PoE+ (up to 14 W vs. 8.6 W) and a significantly larger, heavier housing. The X35302-F2L is the better fit when infrastructure is limited to 802.3af PoE switches, the installation site demands a compact low-profile dome, IPv6 network support is required, railway/vehicle-application certifications (EN50155/EN50121) are mandatory, or a 132° wide-angle fixed view is preferred over zoom-based coverage.
Is the X25300-V3LN or X35302-F2L better for low-light performance?
The X25300-V3LN reaches a lower minimum illumination of 0.005 lx in B&W (vs. 0.02 lx color for the X35302-F2L) and extends IR illumination to 70 m versus the F2L's 21 m at 30 IRE. For long-range or larger outdoor areas in darkness, the X25300-V3LN has a clear specification advantage. The X35302-F2L reaches 0 lx only with its IR active, but its IR reach limits it to shorter-range applications.
Can I power the X35302-F2L from a standard PoE switch, or do I need PoE+?
The X35302-F2L draws a maximum of 8.6 W and is rated PoE Class 0, making it compatible with standard IEEE 802.3af PoE switches (which supply up to 15.4 W at the port). The X25300-V3LN requires PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at, Class 4, up to 30 W at the port) or a DC 12V supply, so existing 802.3af-only infrastructure would need upgrading or a midspan injector to support the X25300-V3LN.
Which camera is better suited for a transit or railway installation?
The X35302-F2L is the specified choice for transit and railway environments. It carries EN50155, JIS E5006, IEC62236, and EN50121 railway and vehicle application certifications that are not listed in the X25300-V3LN's specifications. Its higher operating temperature ceiling (+60 °C vs. +55 °C) and compact 475 g form factor also favor vehicle-mounted deployments. The X25300-V3LN does not list equivalent rail certifications.
