Pelco SRXP4-2V10-IMD vs Pelco SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR: Specification Comparison
Both the Pelco SRXP4-2V10-IMD and SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR are 2MP (1920×1080) fixed-lens IP dome cameras from Pelco's Sarix line, powered by PoE and sharing the same 1/2.8-inch progressive-scan CMOS sensor class. The Professional 4 Series SRXP4-2V10-IMD targets indoor deployments with a motorized varifocal lens, while the Value 2 Series SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR is built for outdoor use with integrated 850nm IR. Buyers choosing between them are typically balancing lens flexibility and high-performance imaging against outdoor-rated durability and built-in night vision.

How do the imaging specs compare?
The SRXP4-2V10-IMD delivers a notably higher frame rate — up to 60 fps versus 30 fps on the SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR — and a wider WDR range: 126 dB (WDR on) versus 120 dB. Its motorized varifocal lens spans 3.4–10.5 mm with autofocus and P-Iris control, providing a horizontal field of view adjustable from 101° down to 31°. The SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR uses a fixed 2.8 mm lens with an F1.4 maximum aperture; its field of view is not stated in the provided specifications.
In low-light performance, the SRXP4-2V10-IMD reaches 0.01 lux color and 0.005 lux monochrome at 33 ms. The SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR achieves 0.02 lux color but drops to 0 lux monochrome via its integrated 850 nm IR illuminator — meaning true darkness is usable with IR active. The SRXP4-2V10-IMD does not list an onboard IR illuminator in the provided specifications. Both cameras share H.264/H.265/Motion JPEG compression; the SRXP4-2V10-IMD additionally lists Pelco Smart Compression and multi-stream capability. The SRXP4-2V10-IMD also adds 3D noise reduction and supports up to 64 privacy zones; neither of these is confirmed in the SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR specifications.
What about installation and environment?
The SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR is rated IP42 for ingress protection and carries an IK09 impact rating; it is explicitly specified for outdoor use with an operating temperature of 0°C to +50°C. Its storage temperature range extends to −40°C to +60°C. The SRXP4-2V10-IMD is specified for indoor use; its IP rating is listed as IP66 in one field of the provided data, though this appears inconsistent with its indoor classification — buyers should verify against the official Pelco datasheet. Its operating temperature range is not stated in the provided specifications.
Both cameras are PoE Class 3 with RJ45 connectivity, though the SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR uses an M12 D-coded 4-pin female connector with an included M12-to-RJ45 adapter — a hardened connector suited to outdoor junction boxes. The SRXP4-2V10-IMD uses a standard RJ45. Both have IK09 vandal resistance. The SRXP4-2V10-IMD weighs 636 g and measures approximately 128 mm × 128 mm × 109 mm (dimensions vary by configuration per spec data); the SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR is lighter at 409 g and measures 111.5 mm × 111 mm × 57.6 mm. NDAA Section 889 compliance is confirmed only for the SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR.
Which fits your VMS and analytics better?
The SRXP4-2V10-IMD supports ONVIF Profile S, T, G, and M, along with a broader protocol suite including IPv4, IPv6, HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, NTP, RTSP, RTP, TCP, UDP, and DHCP. It also lists Classified Object Detection and Pixel Motion analytics, bi-directional audio (G.711 PCM 8 kHz and Opus) with line-level I/O, alarm I/O, and onboard microSD/SDHC/SDXC storage up to 1.5 TB. It carries 1 GB RAM and 512 MB Flash.
The SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR is ONVIF Profile S and T compliant. Audio support, alarm I/O, and specific analytics capabilities are not confirmed in the provided specifications. Its memory is 512 MB RAM and 256 MB Flash. Onboard storage support is listed as microSD in summary fields, but capacity limits are not stated in the provided specifications. For installations requiring ONVIF Profile G or M, edge recording with defined capacity, audio, or classified analytics, the SRXP4-2V10-IMD provides confirmed specification support; the SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR does not document those features.
Which should you choose: the SRXP4-2V10-IMD or the SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR?
Our take: The SRXP4-2V10-IMD is the stronger choice when the priority is imaging flexibility, frame rate, and deep VMS integration in a controlled indoor environment. Its motorized varifocal lens (3.4–10.5 mm, 101° to 31° HFoV) versus the SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR's fixed 2.8 mm lens gives installers on-site zoom and focus adjustment without ladder returns. Its 60 fps maximum frame rate doubles the SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR's 30 fps ceiling — critical for capturing fast motion. WDR is 126 dB versus 120 dB. The SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR is the correct selection for outdoor perimeter coverage where 0-lux IR night vision, an M12 hardened connector, NDAA Section 889 compliance, and a −40°C storage rating matter more than lens flexibility. Confirm the SRXP4-2V10-IMD's IP rating against the official Pelco datasheet before any outdoor or semi-exposed indoor deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which should you choose: the SRXP4-2V10-IMD or the SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR?
The SRXP4-2V10-IMD is the stronger choice when the priority is imaging flexibility, frame rate, and deep VMS integration in a controlled indoor environment. Its motorized varifocal lens (3.4–10.5 mm, 101° to 31° HFoV) versus the SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR's fixed 2.8 mm lens gives installers on-site zoom and focus adjustment without ladder returns. Its 60 fps maximum frame rate doubles the SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR's 30 fps ceiling — critical for capturing fast motion. WDR is 126 dB versus 120 dB. The SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR is the correct selection for outdoor perimeter coverage where 0-lux IR night vision, an M12 hardened connector, NDAA Section 889 compliance, and a −40°C storage rating matter more than lens flexibility. Confirm the SRXP4-2V10-IMD's IP rating against the official Pelco datasheet before any outdoor or semi-exposed indoor deployment.
Is the SRXP4-2V10-IMD or SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR better for low-light performance?
They are different in kind. The SRXP4-2V10-IMD reaches 0.01 lux color and 0.005 lux monochrome without IR, making it strong in dimly lit but not fully dark indoor areas. The SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR reaches 0.02 lux color but achieves 0 lux monochrome through its integrated 850 nm IR illuminator, enabling true-darkness capture outdoors. If the scene goes completely dark, the SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR's IR is the more capable solution.
Can the SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR be used indoors instead of the SRXP4-2V10-IMD?
Technically the SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR is rated for outdoor use (IP42, IK09) and could be physically installed indoors, but it uses a fixed 2.8 mm lens with no zoom or remote focus, supports only ONVIF Profile S and T (versus Profile S, T, G, and M on the SRXP4-2V10-IMD), and its maximum frame rate is 30 fps versus 60 fps. If indoor flexibility, higher frame rates, and richer VMS integration are needed, the SRXP4-2V10-IMD is the intended product.
Which camera is NDAA Section 889 compliant?
Only the SRXV2-2F3-EWD-IR is explicitly listed as NDAA Section 889 compliant in the provided specifications. The SRXP4-2V10-IMD does not carry that designation in the specifications provided. Federal, state, or contractor projects requiring NDAA compliance should verify the SRXP4-2V10-IMD's status directly with Pelco before specifying it.
