i-PRO IPS-ICV-ANT1W-BK Round Antenna (1x WiFi SMA, Black)
The IPS-ICV-ANT1W-BK is a single-port round WiFi antenna for the i-PRO ICV (In-Car Video) platform, finished in black with a single SMA connector. It is the simplest form-factor antenna in the ICV family — a smooth dome that sits flat against a vehicle roof or trunk lid and provides a clean WiFi link to the in-car DVR. Black finish matches most patrol-vehicle livery without modification.
Key Features
- Single-element WiFi antenna for i-PRO ICV recorders
- Black finish suited to most patrol and unmarked vehicles
- SMA connector compatible with the ICV WiFi inputs
- Low-profile dome shape resists branch strikes and car-wash damage
- Permanent-mount design with weatherproof base seal
- Pre-tuned VSWR for the ICV RF front end
- Direct OEM replacement for damaged or aging factory antennas
The single-antenna option is appropriate where the docking environment has solid WiFi coverage and MIMO spatial diversity is not required. For fleets that dock in covered structures or close to access points, a single antenna delivers reliable evidence offload while reducing the number of penetration points in the vehicle roof. Antenna replacement is a routine maintenance item — car washes, branch contact, and gradual UV degradation all reduce performance over time.
Mount the antenna at a point clear of large metal obstructions and away from GPS or cellular antennas to avoid cross-coupling. Run the feed line with a small drip loop where it enters the vehicle interior. Verify VSWR and observed throughput at the docking location with a representative evidence-clip upload before placing the vehicle back in service. Inspect the antenna base seal annually and re-seal if the original sealant has dried or cracked.
