i-PRO WV-S35302-F2L 2MP AI IR Outdoor Dome Camera

i-PRO WV-S35302-F2L 2MP AI IR Outdoor Dome Camera

The WV-S35302-F2L is a fixed-dome outdoor IP camera built for wide-area perimeter and parking surveillance in harsh weather. A 132° horizontal field of view from a fixed 2.4mm F2.1 lens covers expansive areas without pan-tilt complexity. Integrated IR illumination (21m effective range), onboard AI analytics, IP66/IK10 weatherproofing, and PoE powering deliver reliable detection across temperatures from −40°C to +50°C. This is a no-compromise choice for open-space surveillance where coverage breadth and low-light performance matter more than zoom.

Key Features

• 2MP 1920×1080 Resolution (up to 60 fps): Captures 2048×1536 at 15 fps in 4:3 mode for detail-dense super-resolution recording when bandwidth allows. Flexible frame-rate and resolution scaling (640×360, 1280×720) lets you dial in the right balance between storage and clarity on 24/7 recorders.
• 132° Horizontal Fixed Field of View: 2.4mm F2.1 lens with no autofocus or motorized zoom means no moving parts to fail, fixed coverage you can plan around, and no lens motor power draw. Ideal for parking lots where you need consistent framing across shifts and seasons.
• Advanced IR Night Vision (21m @ 30IRE, 15m @ 50IRE): Switchable IR LED (High/Middle/Low/Off modes) with manual or full auto control. At 0 lux with IR enabled, the camera delivers monochrome footage in total darkness—critical for unmanned outdoor sites. 30IRE (minimum illumination) and 50IRE (detection range) metrics let you size coverage to specific perimeter distances.
• Exceptional Low-Light Color (0.02 lux @ F2.1, 30IRE): Automatic color-to-monochrome (ICR) switching preserves usable color footage in dusk/dawn conditions before full IR cutover, reducing the visual jarring between day and night modes on continuous video review.
• 144 dB Maximum Dynamic Range (Super Dynamic Technology): Handles extreme backlighting (e.g., parking lot with sun behind the subject) and high-contrast scenes (bright sky + dark building). Adaptive Black Stretch and High Light Compensation prevent washout or silhouetting—important for forensic-grade identification in outdoor glare.
• Onboard AI Analytics (7 core detection types): AI Video Motion Detection, AI Face Detection, AI People Detection, AI Vehicle Detection, AI Non-mask Detection, AI Occupancy Detection, and AI Scene Change Detection run directly on the camera—no external server required. Reduces bandwidth by filtering trivial motion and enables real-time alerting without VMS latency.
• AI Sound Classification: Detects gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, and glass break events. Triggers alerts on audio anomalies for faster incident response in unattended outdoor areas.
• IP66/IK10 Weatherproofing (NEMA 4X): Direct rain, dust, and salt spray won't penetrate. 40 m/s wind resistance and 10–100% humidity operation (no condensation inside) mean deployment in coastal, industrial, and high-altitude sites without enclosure upgrades.
• PoE (Class 0 @ 8.6W, 48V DC): Draws under 9W, so standard 802.3af PoE switches power this camera without budget strain. Single cable from switch to dome simplifies runs and eliminates separate 12V power supplies at height.
• H.265 + H.264 Dual Codec (Smart Coding): H.265 cuts storage overhead roughly in half vs. H.264 on 24/7 recording, a major factor on large multi-camera systems. Variable/fixed GOP control and frame-rate management let you tune bitrate per scene complexity—parking lot static scenes compress better than busy intersections.
• Security by Design (FIPS 140-2 Level 3): i-PRO EdgeLock SE050F secure element, GlobalSign pre-installed certificate, HTTPS, IEEE 802.1X authentication, brute-force protection, and tampering detection (physical tamper alert on lens obstruction). Meets baseline for critical infrastructure deployments.
• ONVIF Profiles G, M, S, T: Integrates with third-party NVRs and VMS platforms via standard protocols (RTSP, HTTP/HTTPS, SMTP, NTP, SNMP, MQTT). Supports up to 14 simultaneous users on IPv4/IPv6.
• microSD/SDHC/SDXC Slot (up to 512 GB): Local recording backup independent of network—useful for long-term offline evidence preservation or as failover if NVR connection drops.

Integration & Compatibility

The WV-S35302-F2L runs on an Ambarella CV25M SoC with a 1/2.8-inch CMOS sensor, delivering fine-grained Intelligent Auto exposure, Super Dynamic (adjustable 0–31 levels), fog compensation, and digital noise reduction (0–255). Four motion detection zones and eight privacy zones enable intelligent monitoring without storing sensitive areas (e.g., neighboring property, interior building windows). Works with any ONVIF-compliant VMS, network camera selection platforms, and PoE-enabled network switches.

Ideal Applications

• Outdoor parking lots and vehicle entrance monitoring
• Perimeter and building exterior surveillance
• Wide-area open-space coverage (campuses, industrial sites, parks)
• Night-dependent deployments in low-light warehouses, shipping yards, or rural facilities
• Facilities requiring onboard AI alerting, tamper-resistant construction, and autonomous event detection

When to Consider a Different Model

If you need pan-tilt-zoom flexibility or closer facial identification on individuals beyond 15m, evaluate a motorized lens variant in the i-PRO dome or turret line. If your site has extreme condensation or full-immersion risk (e.g., car wash, flood-prone areas), upgrade to IP67 or higher. For indoor parking or low-profile mounting, look at turret or compact dome variants with shorter standoff dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum IR range of the WV-S35302-F2L?

A: The camera delivers 21m effective IR range at 30IRE (minimum reliable illumination) and 15m at 50IRE (detection threshold). Exact range depends on ambient light, target reflectivity, and weather (fog reduces range). High/Middle/Low IR intensity modes let you optimize for your specific deployment distance.

Q: Can the WV-S35302-F2L work with my existing Milestone XProtect or VMS?

A: Yes. The camera supports ONVIF Profiles G, M, S, and T, and standard protocols (RTSP, HTTP/HTTPS, SMTP, NTP, SNMP, MQTT). Any ONVIF-compliant VMS or NVR will integrate without custom drivers. Confirm ONVIF Profile compliance with your VMS vendor if using advanced features (e.g., advanced motion detection profiles).

Q: How much power does the WV-S35302-F2L draw, and will a standard PoE switch support it?

A: The camera is a PoE Class 0 device drawing 8.6W maximum at 48V DC. Standard 802.3af PoE (15.4W per port) supplies this easily. On a typical 48-port switch with 90W budget per port group, you can run 10+ of these cameras per group without power concerns.

Q: Does the WV-S35302-F2L support H.265 compression, and what storage savings can I expect?

A: Yes, it supports both H.265 and H.264 with Smart Coding. H.265 typically reduces file size 40–60% compared to H.264 at equivalent quality, depending on scene complexity. Static scenes (empty parking lots) compress better than dynamic ones (heavy foot traffic). Test on your actual site to confirm storage reduction.

Q: Is the WV-S35302-F2L NDAA or Section 889 compliant?

A: i-PRO is a Panasonic subsidiary (Japan). No evidence in the product documentation indicates NDAA or Section 889 certification. If your project requires explicit NDAA compliance, contact the manufacturer for formal compliance documentation or consult your procurement team.

Q: What analytics does the WV-S35302-F2L support, and do they require a separate server?

A: The camera includes seven onboard AI analytics: AI Video Motion Detection, AI Face Detection, AI People Detection, AI Vehicle Detection, AI Non-mask Detection, AI Occupancy Detection, and AI Scene Change Detection, plus AI Sound Classification (gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, glass break). All run on the camera's edge processor—no external server required. This reduces VMS load and enables real-time alerting.

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

The WV-S35302-F2L is a deliberate engineering choice: no zoom, no pan-tilt, no compromise on fixed optics and IR. That 132° horizontal field of view from a 2.4mm F2.1 lens covers the ground you actually need to monitor, and the fixed framing means you'll never spend three months debugging a motor that stuck overnight. Add the 21m IR range and 144 dB Super Dynamic handling, and you've got a camera that works in 95% of outdoor perimeter and parking scenarios without adding complexity.

Technical Highlights:

• H.265 Smart Coding: On 24/7 multi-camera deployments, H.265 cuts storage by 40–60% vs. H.264—that's weeks of extra retention on a fixed NVR budget. Variable GOP and frame-rate control mean you don't waste bits on static parking lot footage.
• Onboard AI (7 detection types + audio classification): Motion Detection, People, Vehicle, Face, Occupancy, Scene Change, and Non-mask Detection all run at the edge. No external analytics server, no VMS overload, no latency. Gunshot and glass-break audio triggers real response time on unmanned sites.
• Super Dynamic 144 dB + Adaptive Compensation: Parking lot backlighting or dark perimeter with bright sky don't wash out faces or license plates. Adaptive Black Stretch and High Light Compensation preserve detail across a 10,000:1 brightness ratio in a single frame.

Deployment Considerations:

• The 8.6W PoE draw is Class 0 (minimum)—no switch strain, but confirm your run length doesn't exceed PoE voltage drop limits (runs over 300 feet should use powered midspan injectors or PoE+).
• Fixed lens means you need to know your coverage distance and angle before installation. Measure twice, order once. No motorized zoom to adjust field of view after mounting.
• IR range (21m @ 30IRE) assumes clear air—fog, snow, and rain degrade range significantly. In coastal or seasonal fog zones, test on-site or size for shorter effective distance.
• Dual codec support (H.265/H.264) requires NVR or VMS support for codec switching if you want to change encoding post-deployment. Confirm your recorder supports both before committing the full camera fleet to H.265.

Right camera for outdoor fixed-coverage scenarios: parking lots, perimeter runs, loading docks, and multi-building campuses where one low-power dome covers 130+ degrees without zoom complexity. If you need facial identification at 25+ meters or zoom flexibility, step up to a motorized variant. For unattended outdoor sites where motion and audio detection must trigger alerts independently, the WV-S35302-F2L's edge AI is a real operational advantage—no VMS required to catch incidents.
