i-PRO WV-S15501-Z3L 5MP Outdoor IR Bullet Camera with 30x Optical Zoom
The i-PRO WV-S15501-Z3L is a professional-grade 5MP outdoor IR bullet camera engineered for high-performance surveillance deployments requiring extended optical reach and superior low-light imaging. Featuring a motorized 30x optical zoom lens (4.5–135mm, F1.8), edge-based AI analytics, and robust 180m infrared illumination, this camera delivers reliable identification and monitoring across demanding outdoor environments. Built to IP66/NEMA 4X and IK10 vandal-resistance standards, it combines optical excellence with enterprise-class security features for integrator-led installations.
Key Features
- 30x Optical Zoom Motorized Varifocal Lens: 4.5–135mm F1.8 continuous focal length adjustment from wide-angle scene monitoring to long-distance target identification without digital quality loss
- 5MP CMOS Sensor with 132 dB Dynamic Range: 1/2.8-inch CMOS image sensor (5.12 mm H × 3.84 mm V) with Super Dynamic technology balancing exposure across high-contrast scenes
- Advanced Low-Light and IR Performance: Color illumination minimum 0.06 lx (30IRE, F1.8, 1/30s, AGC:11); B/W mode achieves 0 lx with adjustable IR LED (High/Middle/Low/Off) reaching 180m effective distance
- Edge AI Analytics: On-camera LPR (License Plate Recognition) and Facial Recognition processing reduce bandwidth and enable real-time intelligent video analysis
- Image Stabilization: Electronic image stabilization compensates for vibration and movement, ensuring smooth video in high-zoom scenarios
- Day/Night Capability: Automatic switchable color/B/W operation optimized for both daylight and low-illumination conditions
- Flexible Video Compression: H.265, H.264, and MJPEG codec support with microSD storage for local edge recording
- Audio Support: Built-in audio input/output for two-way communication and event-triggered audio recording
- PoE++ Power: High-power PoE Class 4 delivery simplifies installation with single-cable Ethernet connectivity and eliminates separate power requirements
Technical Highlights
- Durability: IP66/NEMA 4X weather sealing and IK10 impact resistance for uncompromising outdoor reliability
- Security & Compliance: Signed firmware, HTTPS encryption, and ONVIF compatibility ensure secure integration and vendor independence
- Connectivity: Gigabit Ethernet (PoE++) with microSD expansion for decentralized storage and failover recording
- Analytics Intelligence: Up to 3 simultaneous edge AI applications (LPR, facial recognition, custom analytics) running on-device for reduced WAN bandwidth and faster response
Ideal Applications
This camera excels in perimeter surveillance, parking lot monitoring, traffic enforcement, facility access control, and large-area outdoor security where optical zoom and low-light performance are critical. The 30x zoom capability and 180m IR range make it especially valuable for identifying distant vehicles, license plates, and personnel in complete darkness or high-glare conditions. Edge AI analytics enable autonomous alerts and forensic analysis without centralized server dependency.

The WV-S15501-Z3L represents i-PRO's commitment to optical excellence and edge intelligence in outdoor surveillance. The 30x motorized zoom lens (F1.8 aperture) combined with a 1/2.8-inch 5MP sensor and 132 dB dynamic range enables both wide-area monitoring and forensic-quality close-ups without quality degradation. Its 0.06 lx minimum color illumination and 0 lx B/W IR mode address the full spectrum of lighting conditions, while the 180m IR reach exceeds typical perimeter security distances.
The inclusion of on-camera LPR and facial recognition analytics is particularly valuable for large deployments where bandwidth conservation and autonomous alerting reduce operational overhead. PoE++ Class 4 power delivery eliminates complex electrical infrastructure in outdoor installations. For security integrators deploying tier-one surveillance systems in harsh environments, this camera's IP66/IK10 certification, signed firmware, and HTTPS encryption provide both operational reliability and compliance assurance.
The combination of optical performance, edge intelligence, and environmental durability makes it a premium choice for mission-critical outdoor security infrastructure.
