i-PRO WV-U25350-F3L 2MP AI Outdoor IR Dome Camera

i-PRO WV-U25350-F3L 2MP AI Outdoor IR Dome Camera

The i-PRO WV-U25350-F3L is a robust 2MP outdoor vandal-resistant dome camera engineered for enterprise surveillance deployments requiring edge-based AI analytics and dependable infrared performance. Built on i-PRO's U-series platform, this camera integrates AI-powered video motion detection (AI-VMD) at the edge, eliminating reliance on backend servers for real-time threat detection. The fixed 3.2mm F2.0 lens delivers wide-angle coverage ideal for perimeter monitoring, parking areas, facility entries, and access control zones.

Key Features

• 2MP Resolution with 1/2.8" CMOS Sensor: Delivers clear detail across a 5.57mm (H) × 3.13mm (V) scanning area, optimized for outdoor surveillance with 30 fps @ 1080p performance
• Fixed 3.2mm F2.0 Lens: 80° horizontal field of view for expansive area coverage without PTZ complexity; fixed focal length simplifies installation and commissioning
• Built-in Infrared (IR) with 42m Range: 42m maximum irradiation distance at 30IRE ensures effective nighttime identification; 30m @ 50IRE for higher-quality monochrome imagery in complete darkness
• Extreme Low-Light Performance: Color mode achieves 0.07 lux @ 30IRE (F2.0, 1/30s, AGC 11); monochrome drops to 0 lux with IR enabled for true 24/7 surveillance
• Triple Codec Support: H.265, H.264, and MJPEG compression; H.265 reduces bandwidth and storage by up to 50% versus H.264, critical for high-density deployments
• IP66 & NEMA 4X Rating: Sealed design protects against dust, rain, and moisture in harsh outdoor environments
• IK10 Vandal Rating: Enhanced mechanical durability withstands impact and intentional tampering
• Audio Support: Built-in microphone enables two-way communication and audio event detection
• PoE Power (Class 0): Single Ethernet cable delivers power and connectivity; simplifies installation in outdoor locations
• microSD Card Storage: Local edge recording and backup capability independent of network infrastructure
• ONVIF Compatibility: Integrates seamlessly with third-party VMS and NVR platforms
• Security Features: Signed firmware and HTTPS encryption protect against unauthorized access and firmware tampering
• Day/Night Switching: Automatic IR cut filter transitions between color and monochrome modes for optimal image quality

Technical Highlights

The WV-U25350-F3L combines edge AI analytics with enterprise-grade outdoor durability. Its compact dome form factor resists vandalism while the IK10 rating and IP66/NEMA 4X sealing ensure reliable operation in demanding environments. PoE Class 0 power delivery minimizes infrastructure requirements, while H.265 encoding significantly reduces bandwidth consumption across distributed surveillance networks. Local microSD storage provides failsafe recording when network connectivity is disrupted.

Typical Applications

• Perimeter and facility monitoring
• Parking lot and vehicle area surveillance
• Building entrance and access point security
• Outdoor transit and logistics centers
• Campus and grounds monitoring
• Retail and commercial property protection

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

The WV-U25350-F3L addresses a critical need in outdoor surveillance: balancing AI capability with vandal resistance. The edge-based AI-VMD eliminates network overhead for motion detection, reducing latency and server load—essential for high-volume multi-camera deployments. The 42m IR range covers most outdoor zones without supplemental lighting, while the extreme low-light sensitivity (0.07 lux color) ensures usable imagery even in twilight conditions.

H.265 codec adoption is increasingly important as bandwidth costs and storage constraints tighten; the 50% reduction versus H.264 translates to measurable operational savings at scale. The IK10 vandal rating and IP66/NEMA 4X sealing make this camera suitable for challenging environments where standard domes fail. PoE Class 0 simplicity is often underestimated; it reduces installation complexity and cost, particularly in outdoor retrofits where power runs are expensive.

ONVIF compliance ensures future-proof integration regardless of VMS platform evolution. For organizations deploying distributed AI surveillance without dedicated edge servers, this camera delivers exceptional value.
