i-PRO M-45-FW-V2 4MP Low Profile Indoor Dome Camera

i-PRO M-45-FW-V2 4MP Low Profile Indoor Dome Camera

The i-PRO M-45-FW-V2 is a compact, low-profile fixed dome network camera purpose-built for indoor surveillance in enterprise environments. With 4MP resolution, 120dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), integrated infrared illumination, and built-in audio, this camera delivers reliable performance in mixed lighting conditions while maintaining a minimal footprint ideal for space-constrained deployments.

Key Features

• 4MP Progressive Scan CMOS Sensor — 1/2.7" image sensor at 2688 x 1520 resolution, 30 fps capture for sharp detail in facial recognition and object identification
• 120dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) — Handles bright windows, skylights, and mixed lighting without ghosting; maintains usable detail across highlights and shadows
• 2.8mm Fixed Lens, F1.6 Aperture — 101.1° horizontal FOV provides expansive coverage with excellent low-light performance
• Integrated IR LED Illumination — Up to 30-meter range with automatic day/night switching (ICR); 0 lux capability with IR enabled, 0.003 lux color minimum
• Built-in Microphone — Integrated audio input for two-way communication and event-triggered recording (G.711U/G.711A compression)
• PoE Powered — Single Ethernet connection supplies power and data; no additional wiring required
• Multiple Codec Support — H.265, H.264, and MJPEG compression options for flexible bandwidth management
• microSD Card Storage — Local backup and edge recording capability
• ONVIF Compatibility — Seamless integration with third-party VMS and IP surveillance systems
• HTTPS Encryption — Secure data transmission and authentication

Perspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.

The M-45-FW-V2 excels in space-constrained indoor environments where both image quality and physical profile matter. The 120dB WDR performance is critical for facilities with skylights or adjacent bright surfaces; this specification ensures usable video in mixed daylight/shadow scenarios common in lobbies and atriums. The F1.6 aperture and 0.003 lux sensitivity make this camera viable for low-light areas without heavy reliance on IR, extending illuminator lifespan.

PoE simplification reduces deployment complexity—one cable handles power and data. ONVIF compatibility ensures vendor flexibility if migrating VMS platforms. H.265 codec support provides 50% bandwidth savings versus H.264, valuable in bandwidth-constrained networks. The integrated microphone and microSD slot support local event recording and two-way audio scenarios typical in retail and facility management.

At 0.49 lbs, this low-profile dome minimizes bracket stress and fits tight ceiling plenums. Best-fit applications include corporate offices, educational facilities, and retail environments where aesthetics and reliability are balanced priorities.
