Technical Specifications
Imaging: The camera captures sharp, detailed images at multiple frame rates (60, 50, 30, 25, 15, and 12.5 fps), with a 5.57mm (H) × 3.13mm (V) scanning area supporting both color and monochrome operation. Fog compensation and adaptive black stretch enhance visibility in challenging indoor lighting conditions.
Connectivity: Wired Ethernet connection with PoE Class 0 power eliminates the need for separate power supplies. ONVIF compliance ensures seamless integration with third-party management platforms and NVRs.
Intelligence: The on-board AI engine supports facial recognition and other edge analytics applications, enabling autonomous surveillance decisions without cloud dependency or external server processing.
Security: Hardware-based cryptographic security, signed firmware, and HTTPS encryption protect against unauthorized access and tampering, meeting enterprise security requirements.
Ideal Applications
- Office building lobbies and hallways
- Retail stores and point-of-sale areas
- Educational institutions and campuses
- Corporate reception areas
- Access control and personnel identification
- 24/7 facility monitoring with low-light requirements

The WV-S2136LA represents a solid mid-range option for organizations seeking AI-capable surveillance without the complexity of external analytics servers. The 3.1x optical zoom and 2.9–9mm lens provide flexibility in deployment, while H.265 compression reduces bandwidth consumption—a critical consideration in large multi-camera installations. The 70-meter IR range and 0.0006 lux low-light performance make it suitable for environments where supplemental lighting is unavailable or undesirable.
Facial recognition support enables applications such as access control verification and personnel tracking, though recognition accuracy depends on image quality and subject distance. The combination of PoE simplicity, ONVIF compatibility, and signed firmware reflects i-PRO's emphasis on secure, standards-based deployments. MicroSD support provides a failsafe for continuous recording during network interruptions.
