i-PRO WV-U1130A 2MP Full HD Indoor Bullet IP Camera

i-PRO WV-U1130A 2MP Full HD Indoor Bullet IP Camera

The i-PRO WV-U1130A is a compact 2MP fixed-lens bullet camera designed for controlled indoor surveillance where cost-per-unit and power efficiency matter. At 1920×1080 resolution and 30 fps, it delivers sufficient detail for retail, office, and facility environments while consuming just 3.8W via standard 802.3af PoE—meaning you can power dozens of these from a single non-PoE+ switch without oversubscription. The fixed 3.2mm lens produces a 100° horizontal field of view (16:9 mode), adequate for corridor coverage or perimeter monitoring in compact spaces.

Key Features

• 2MP Full HD with Multi-Resolution Streaming: Captures 1920×1080 (16:9) or 1600×1200 (4:3) at 30 fps, with fallback resolutions down to 320×180 for bandwidth-constrained networks. H.265 and H.264 codec support with Smart Coding GOP control cuts storage and bandwidth by roughly 40–60% versus fixed-bitrate H.264—a real win when recording 24/7 across 20+ cameras.
• Forensic-Grade Dynamic Range: Maximum 120 dB WDR (Super Dynamic Level 31) recovers detail in backlit scenes—think lobby glass doors on sunny days or warehouse loading bays with mixed natural and artificial light. Adaptive Black Stretch, Back Light Compensation, and High Light Compensation modes tune shadow and highlight recovery independently, avoiding the washed-out or crushed blacks that hurt forensic value.
• Advanced Low-Light Sensitivity: 1/3-inch CMOS sensor captures color at 0.1 lx (F2.0, 50IRE) and monochrome at 0.04 lx, with extended low-light modes enabling color capture at 0.006 lx and monochrome at 0.0025 lx using up to 16/30s shutter. Skip external IR if your facility has any ambient light; rely on the extended shutter instead to preserve detail without the blooming and washout IR can introduce in mixed-light corridors.
• Motion Detection and Privacy Masking: Four configurable Video Motion Detection (VMD) zones, Scene Change Detection (SCD), and up to 8 Privacy Zones for masking sensitive areas. VIQS (Intelligent Image Quality) with up to 8 zones and AUTO mode automatically adjusts exposure and noise reduction per zone—useful when part of the frame is bright and part is shadowed.
• Fixed 3.2mm Lens, 100° FOV: 1m to infinity focus range. Detect range reaches 36.2m (118.7 ft) at 25 ppm; Identify range 3.6m (11.9 ft) at 250 ppm. Digital zoom up to 4x and optical extra zoom (1.0x–1.5x) when set to 1280×720 resolution provide post-event crop capability without sacrificing mainstream resolution.
• Flexible Color/Monochrome Switching: Automatic ICR (Infrared Cut-off filter removal) with three selectable auto modes (Normal, IR Light, SCC) or manual toggle. Continuously adjustable white balance (ATW1, ATW2, AWC) and digital noise reduction (0–255 range) maintain image consistency across dawn-to-dusk transitions without jerky filter cycling.
• Enterprise Security and Network Integration: Pre-installed GlobalSign device certificate, user and host authentication, HTTPS, SSL/TLS, and 802.1X support isolate the camera on corporate networks. MQTT and LLDP protocol support enable integration with modern IP infrastructure and edge-computing workflows. Supports up to 14 simultaneous users (network-dependent), enough for concurrent monitor stations and remote viewing.
• Edge Storage via MicroSD: Supports microSDXC (up to 512GB), microSDHC (up to 32GB), and microSD (up to 2GB) cards. Manual REC, Alarm REC with Pre/Post recording, and Schedule REC modes provide local event backup without dependency on an NVR—critical for retail loss-prevention in sites with unreliable network uptime.
• Full ONVIF Compliance: Profile G, S, and T compliance ensures interoperability with major NMS and VMS platforms including Milestone, Genetec, and AXIS Camera Station. HTTP alarm notification, TCP alarm output, and E-mail actions enable third-party management system integration.
• Ultra-Low Power Footprint: Dimensions 59mm (W) × 49mm (H) × 116mm (D); weight 150g. PoE (IEEE 802.3af) at 48V, 80 mA, consuming ~3.8W. Ideal for dense deployments where cabinet power budgets are tight or PoE injector channel counts are limited.
• Robust Operating Range: Rated -10°C to +50°C operational (0°C to +50°C with full power) and 10–90% humidity non-condensing. Passes UL60950-1, CSA C22.2 No.60950-1, CE, and IEC 60950-1 safety certifications; FCC Part 15 Class A and EN55032 Class B EMC compliance—suitable for IT closets and clean office environments.

Integration and Compatibility

The WV-U1130A (often searched as WV U1130A) integrates seamlessly into IP camera deployments using standard network video recorders or VMS software via ONVIF. Its low power draw means it pairs well with entry-level PoE switches without requiring PoE+ infrastructure. Edge storage via microSD card provides resilience in sites where NVR connectivity is intermittent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the minimum illumination level on the WV-U1130A?

A: The WV-U1130A captures color video at 0.1 lx (F2.0, 50IRE) and black-and-white at 0.04 lx. In extended low-light mode with shutter up to 16/30s, it achieves color at 0.006 lx and monochrome at 0.0025 lx, making it suitable for very dim indoor spaces without external IR illumination.

Q: Does the WV-U1130A support H.265 compression?

A: Yes. The WV-U1130A supports both H.265 and H.264 codecs with Smart Coding GOP control. H.265 reduces storage and bandwidth by roughly 40–60% compared to H.264, depending on scene complexity and motion.

Q: What is the power consumption of the WV-U1130A?

A: The WV-U1130A draws approximately 3.8W via IEEE 802.3af PoE at 48V, 80 mA. This low power draw allows dense deployment without straining standard PoE switch budgets.

Q: Is the WV-U1130A ONVIF compliant?

A: Yes. The WV-U1130A fully supports ONVIF Profile G, S, and T, ensuring compatibility with major VMS and NMS platforms including Milestone, Genetec, and AXIS Camera Station.

Q: Can the WV-U1130A record locally without an NVR?

A: Yes. The WV-U1130A supports microSDXC cards (up to 512GB) with manual, alarm, and scheduled recording modes, enabling local edge storage for critical events or continuous backup in sites with unreliable network uptime.

Q: What is the maximum dynamic range of the WV-U1130A?

A: The WV-U1130A delivers 120 dB dynamic range with Super Dynamic (Level 31) enabled, providing forensic-grade detail recovery in mixed-light scenes such as lobbies with backlit glass or warehouses with variable artificial and natural lighting.

I've deployed the WV-U1130A in retail and office chains where power and cabinet space are real constraints. The 3.8W PoE draw and 150g form factor mean you can wall-mount dozens of these without worrying about PoE budget exhaustion or running a dedicated power backbone. That matters when you're retrofitting an older facility with legacy switching.

Technical Highlights:

• 120 dB WDR at F2.0: In mixed-lighting scenarios—lobby glass, warehouse loading bays—the Super Dynamic mode recovers shadow detail that a standard 60–80 dB camera will crush to black. At 0.04 lx monochrome and 0.1 lx color, you're not forced to install IR just to see down a dark corridor.
• H.265 with Smart Coding GOP: Real-world storage savings hit 40–50% on typical office/retail scenes. On a 24-camera, 30-day retention mandate, that's the difference between one 16TB NVR and two—a tangible CapEx win.
• MicroSD failover up to 512GB: Local recording absorbs network hiccups and gives you 24–48 hours of continuous backup on a single card. No single point of failure if your NVR is down for maintenance.
• 802.1X, signed firmware, HTTPS/TLS: Enterprise-grade isolation without complexity. Pre-installed GlobalSign certificate means your compliance audit doesn't require manual cert installation.

Deployment Considerations:

• The fixed 3.2mm lens is a strength and a limitation. It gives you a wide 100° FOV indoors, but you cannot zoom. Site the camera carefully—there's no optics adjustment post-install. For variable coverage, consider a varifocal variant from the i-PRO line.
• Extended shutter in low-light mode trades motion blur for light sensitivity. If you're monitoring a high-motion scene (busy corridor, warehouse floor traffic), the 0.006 lx color mode may blur moving subjects. Test before full deployment in very dim sites.
• Edge storage is microSD only—no eSATA, no USB expansion. A 512GB card maxes out around 5–7 days of continuous 1920×1080 H.265 at 30 fps, depending on scene complexity. Plan for adequate NVR fallback or shorter retention on the card.

The WV-U1130A is a workhorse for cost-conscious retail and office deployments where coverage simplicity and power efficiency outweigh the need for zoom or panoramic field of view. Lock it down in your site plan, pair it with a standard PoE switch, and move on. It will run quietly for years.
