Pelco SRXE4-2V12-EMD-1 vs Pelco SRXE4-4V9-EMD-1: Specification Comparison
Both the Pelco SRXE4-2V12-EMD-1 and SRXE4-4V9-EMD-1 are 4MP outdoor fixed dome cameras from the Sarix Enhanced 4 Series, sharing the same resolution class, form factor, and target deployment profile. A buyer evaluating either model would reasonably cross-shop both for perimeter or facility surveillance. The provided specifications reveal near-identical core imaging and environmental performance; this comparison examines where meaningful differences exist and where the two models are functionally equivalent based solely on the data provided.
In This Guide
How do the imaging specs compare?
Both cameras share the same core imaging platform: a 1/1.8-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor (though a conflicting secondary spec on both units also cites '1/2.8" CMOS' — the primary spec field lists 1/1.8 inch for both), a 2560×1440 maximum resolution, and a 60 fps maximum frame rate. WDR is specified at 130 dB SureVision on both models, and minimum illumination is identical at 0.003 Lux color / 0.001 Lux B&W. Both units support H.265, H.264, and Motion JPEG compression and include an F1.4 aperture lens. No meaningful imaging differentiation is evident between the two models based on the provided specifications.
The lens specification is listed as 4.4–9.3 mm motorized varifocal with a 32–109° HFOV on both models. A secondary spec field on both units lists a conflicting focal length of '2.8–12 mm'; neither datasheet field is further resolved in the provided data, so that secondary figure cannot be treated as authoritative. IR illumination is noted as 850 nm Day/Night on both. Both support day/night switching, and neither spec set discloses a maximum IR range in the provided data.
What about installation and environment?
Environmental and mechanical ratings are identical across both models per the provided specifications. Both carry IP66, IP67, IP68 (2 m for 2 hours), IPX9K, and NEMA 4X ingress protection ratings, along with IK11 impact resistance. The vandal rating field lists IK09 on both (a secondary entry that conflicts with the primary IK11; the primary spec is used here). Operating temperature is rated at -50°C to +65°C with PoE+ or external power on both units. Both are white-housed outdoor dome form factors supporting wall, ceiling, pole, pendant, corner, and recessed mounting configurations.
Power input is PoE on both cameras; both are classified as PoE Class 3 in one field but reference PoE+ (802.3at) in another field — this internal inconsistency is present in both models' data equally and cannot be resolved from the provided specs alone. Connector type is RJ-45 on both. Dimensions are listed identically for both: (D×H) 182×132 mm / 219×198 mm / 182×203 mm depending on mounting configuration.
Which fits your VMS and analytics better?
Both cameras are ONVIF Profile S, T, G, and M compliant, providing broad VMS interoperability. Edge analytics are identical per the provided specifications: Person/Vehicle Detection, Direction Violation, Loitering, Beam Crossing, Crowd Detection, Audio Analytics, and Tamper Alert are listed on both models. Audio support (microphone supported) and microSD on-board storage are present on both. Cybersecurity credentials — FIPS 140-3 Level 3, TPM, Secure Boot, HTTPS, and 802.1X — are specified identically on both models. NDAA Section 889 and TAA compliance are confirmed on both. No analytics or integration differentiator is present in the provided data between the two models.
Both cameras include 4 GB RAM and 4 GB Flash onboard, and both carry the same certification list: UL, cUL, CE, RoHS, RCM, UKCA, NOM, KC, and BIS. Bandwidth management via Pelco Smart Compression technology and idle scene mode is referenced on both. Warranty is 5 years on both models.
Which should you choose: the SRXE4-2V12-EMD-1 or the SRXE4-4V9-EMD-1?
Our take: Based solely on the provided specifications, neither the SRXE4-2V12-EMD-1 nor the SRXE4-4V9-EMD-1 presents a clear imaging, environmental, or integration advantage over the other — every primary spec reviewed is identical between the two models: both deliver 4MP at 60 fps, 130 dB SureVision WDR, 0.003 Lux color minimum illumination, a 4.4–9.3 mm motorized varifocal lens at 32–109° HFOV, IP66/IP67/IP68/IPX9K/NEMA 4X ingress protection, IK11 impact resistance, -50°C to +65°C operating range, identical ONVIF Profile S/T/G/M compliance, and the same analytics and cybersecurity feature set. The SKU suffixes (-2V12 vs -4V9) may denote mounting kit or accessory bundle differences not captured in the provided specification fields. Buyers should consult Pelco's current configurator or datasheet to confirm whether the part-number suffix encodes a mounting variant before placing an order.
