i-PRO WV-S4556LA 5MP AI IR Fisheye Dome Outdoor Security IP Camera

i-PRO WV-S4556LA 5MP AI IR Fisheye Dome Outdoor Security Camera

The i-PRO WV-S4556LA is a 5MP panoramic fisheye outdoor dome camera engineered for comprehensive 360-degree area surveillance in demanding weather environments. With a 186° horizontal and vertical field of view, this camera delivers complete coverage from a single mounting point, eliminating blind spots in parking lots, atriums, warehouses, and perimeter security applications. The camera combines a 1/3-inch 5MP CMOS sensor with integrated IR illumination, adaptive image processing, and embedded AI analytics to maintain forensic-quality video in all lighting conditions—from bright daylight to complete darkness.

Key Features

• 5MP Panoramic Fisheye Lens (186° Coverage) – Captures complete 360-degree panoramic video from ceiling or wall mount. Focal length of 0.84mm with 1:2.4 maximum aperture provides edge-to-edge clarity from 0.3m to infinity focus range.
• AI-Enhanced Fisheye Analytics – Embedded AI-VMD (AI Video Motion Detection), AI People Counting for 360-degree fisheye, AI Privacy Guard, and AI Scene Change Detection provide intelligent object tracking and classification without cloud processing. AI Sound Classification identifies gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, and glass break events.
• Extreme Low-Light and IR Performance – Color sensitivity of 0.15 lx (F2.4, 1/30s) and BW sensitivity of 0.02 lx ensure visibility in near-darkness. Integrated IR LED array delivers up to 14m (45 ft) irradiation distance at maximum setting, with selectable High/Middle/Low/Off modes.
• Advanced Dynamic Range Processing – Super Dynamic range up to 120 dB with 32-level adjustment handles extreme backlit and high-contrast scenes. Includes back light compensation (BLC), high light compensation (HLC), adaptive black stretch, fog compensation, and digital noise reduction.
• Rugged Outdoor Construction – IP66 and NEMA 4X rated for rain, dust, and salt spray. IK10 vandal resistance and 50J shock rating withstand impact and harsh environments. Operates from -40°C to +60°C (-40°F to 140°F) with optional IR LED heating. Rosahl anti-condensation element prevents internal fogging.
• PoE Power Delivery – IEEE 802.3af compliant PoE (Class 0) at 12.5W enables single-cable installation without dedicated power runs.
• Flexible Video Modes – Fisheye mode at 2192×2192 resolution, plus Quad PTZ and Single PTZ modes for flexible video wall integration. Digital zoom at x1, x2, x4 levels.
• Professional Audio and Alarm Integration – Built-in microphone input and audio output support. Three alarm input/output terminals enable integration with external sensors and triggered actions (SD recording, email, HTTP notification).
• Enterprise Security Standards – ONVIF Profile G/M/S/T compliance, HTTPS encryption, H.265/H.264 video compression, and up to 14 concurrent viewer sessions. Supports microSD/SDHC/SDXC local recording.

Ideal Applications

The WV-S4556LA excels in facilities requiring single-point comprehensive coverage: parking structures, warehouse atriums, airport terminals, retail showrooms, transportation hubs, and wide-open perimeter security. AI People Counting supports occupancy management and foot traffic analysis. Privacy Zone masking (up to 8 zones) enables GDPR-compliant monitoring of sensitive areas.

The WV-S4556LA represents i-PRO's flagship fisheye architecture, purpose-built for cost-effective panoramic surveillance without multi-camera complexity. The 5MP resolution and 186° coverage trade traditional PTZ agility for eliminination of installation dead zones—a critical advantage in vaulted retail ceilings and perimeter fence lines where pole-mounted PTZ units cannot reach. The Ambarella CV22 SoC and embedded AI engine offload motion detection and people counting to the edge device, reducing bandwidth load and NVR processing burden.

The 120dB dynamic range with frame-rate-controlled H.265 compression is particularly effective in mixed-light environments (entrance vestibules, building foyers) where bright exterior windows and dim interior zones appear in the same fisheye frame. IR performance at 0.02 lx BW sensitivity rivals premium compact domes despite the extreme wide-angle optical design. The 0.3m near-focus and f/2.4 aperture ensure clear identification of faces and documents at counter-top distances, though the 186° projection requires software dewarping on the NVR or client to achieve readable close-range detail.

The PoE Class 0 power budget (12.5W) keeps installation wiring simple and integrates with standard PoE infrastructure. Vandal rating (IK10) and IP66 sealing address rough-handling risks in transit hubs and accessible mounting points. For organizations favoring single-camera simplicity over multi-view redundancy, the WV-S4556LA delivers unmatched coverage-per-unit economics.
