i-PRO WV-VC31 HD In-Car Backseat Camera with IR
The i-PRO WV-VC31 is a purpose-built HD camera engineered for in-car video (ICV) surveillance in law enforcement, fleet management, and public transit applications. This compact backseat camera delivers critical evidentiary footage of vehicle occupants during transport, arrests, and routine patrol operations—maintaining clear video capture even in complete darkness through integrated infrared illumination.
Key Features
- Integrated IR LEDs for zero-ambient-light recording inside vehicle cabins
- Wide-angle lens optimized for rear compartment coverage without blind spots
- Compact form factor designed for discreet backseat mounting
- Automatic IR activation based on ambient light sensing
- Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) simplifies installation and eliminates separate power runs
- Tamper-resistant construction protects against intentional damage
- Vibration and shock-resistant design for continuous vehicle operation
- Extended operating temperature range for all-climate deployment
Infrared Night Vision
The WV-VC31's integrated IR LED array provides invisible illumination that enables clear video in zero-ambient-light conditions. The IR system automatically activates based on light level, ensuring uninterrupted recording quality during nighttime operations, indoor parking facilities, and any scenario where vehicle interior lighting is absent. The invisible infrared wavelength does not distract or alert occupants, preserving the integrity of surveillance during sensitive transport operations.
Wide-Angle Coverage for Vehicle Cabins
The camera's wide-angle lens delivers comprehensive rear compartment coverage, capturing all occupants within frame without blind spots. Lens geometry is optimized for the short distances and confined spaces inside vehicle cabins, providing sharp focus from camera position through the entire compartment depth.
Vehicle-Grade Durability
Built for harsh operational environments, the WV-VC31 withstands extreme temperature ranges, continuous vibration from vehicle movement, and occasional physical impacts. Tamper-resistant construction prevents intentional removal or damage, while shock-resistant engineering ensures reliability through years of patrol and transport service.
Seamless Integration
The WV-VC31 integrates directly with i-PRO mobile NVR systems, enabling centralized recording, playback, and evidence management. Power-over-Ethernet connectivity eliminates the need for dedicated 12V runs, reducing installation complexity and improving system reliability in vehicle environments.
Applications
- Law enforcement patrol vehicle backseat documentation
- Prisoner transport and custody chain-of-evidence recording
- Fleet management vehicle interior monitoring
- Public transit security and passenger incident documentation
- Correctional transport and secure custody operations
The WV-VC31 addresses a critical gap in in-vehicle surveillance: capturing clear backseat footage in the lowest-light conditions. Unlike general-purpose mobile cameras, this unit's integrated IR and wide-angle geometry are specifically calibrated for vehicle cabin geometry and typical mounting positions. The PoE power model eliminates the voltage regulation challenges of older 12V systems in modern vehicles with complex electrical management.
For agencies requiring defensible evidentiary footage, the tamper-resistant design and shock tolerance reduce liability exposure from custody-related incidents. Integration with i-PRO mobile NVR platforms ensures encrypted, time-stamped recording that withstands legal scrutiny.
