i-PRO WV-X15500-V3L 5MP AI Bullet Outdoor Camera

The i-PRO WV-X15500-V3L is a purpose-built 5MP outdoor bullet camera engineered for high-performance surveillance in demanding environments. Featuring a 1/2.8-inch CMOS sensor, motorized 3.1x varifocal lens, and integrated AI analytics, this camera delivers exceptional identification and detection capabilities across variable lighting conditions. IP66/NEMA 4X weatherproofing and IK10 vandal resistance ensure reliable operation in harsh deployments, while PoE+ connectivity simplifies installation and reduces infrastructure costs.

Key Features

• 5MP Resolution with High Frame Rates: Captures 3072x1728 or 2560x1440 video at up to 60fps (NTSC) or 50fps (PAL), with flexible downscaling to 1920x1080, 1280x720, and lower resolutions. Extended maximum shutter speeds (16/30s in 30fps mode, 16/25s in 25fps mode) enhance low-light sensitivity without frame rate compromise.
• 3.1x Motorized Varifocal Lens: 2.9mm–9mm focal length delivers 106° horizontal wide-angle to 34° telephoto coverage with F1.3 maximum aperture at wide end. Motorized focus and zoom enable remote scene adjustment. Digital zoom extends to 12.4x at reduced resolution.
• 70m IR Illumination Range: Selectable high, middle, and low IR output modes. Achieves color imaging down to 0.03 lux (F1.3, 1/30s) and 0 lux full infrared capability. Adaptive ICR modes support seamless day/night transitions with color/black-and-white conversion.
• Advanced Dynamic Range: Maximum 132 dB dynamic range with Super Dynamic processing (Level 31) handles extreme lighting variations. Intelligent Auto, Back Light Compensation, High Light Compensation, and Fog Compensation algorithms optimize image quality in challenging conditions.
• Comprehensive AI Analytics: AI Video Motion Detection, AI Face Detection, AI People Detection, AI Vehicle Detection, AI Non-mask Detection, AI Occupancy Detection, Scene Change Detection, and On-site Learning. AI Sound Classification identifies Gunshot, Yell, Vehicle horn, and Glass break events.
• Robust Weatherproofing: IP66/IP67 rating and Type 4X (UL50E) NEMA 4X compliance ensure dust and water resistance. IK10 vandal rating and 40 m/s wind resistance deliver durability in hostile environments. Operating temperature range -40°C to +55°C.
• Enterprise Security Features: FIPS 140-2 Level 3 (NXP EdgeLock SE050F), HTTPS encryption, digest authentication, and pre-installed GlobalSign device certificate. Supports IPv6, SNMPv3, and ONVIF Profile G/S/T/M for integration with third-party systems.
• Flexible Storage and Connectivity: Supports microSDXC/SDHC/SD cards up to 512GB for local recording. PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) eliminates need for separate power. Up to 14 simultaneous users with selectable video compression (H.265, H.264, MJPEG).
• Audio and I/O Capabilities: Integrated 3.5mm stereo audio input/output with G.726, G.711, and AAC-LC compression options. Three external alarm input/output terminals support integration with third-party sensors and triggers.

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

The WV-X15500-V3L represents i-PRO's commitment to enterprise-grade outdoor surveillance. The 132 dB dynamic range with Super Dynamic processing significantly outperforms standard outdoor cameras in mixed lighting environments. The 70m IR reach combined with 0.03 lux color sensitivity creates a rare advantage for operations requiring both detail capture and extreme low-light performance.

The motorized varifocal lens reduces installation complexity compared to fixed-lens alternatives, while the 3.1x optical zoom maintains image quality better than digital zoom alone. FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification and IPv6 support position this camera for government and enterprise deployments with stringent security requirements. The integrated AI suite—particularly AI Vehicle and AI People Detection—eliminates dependency on external analytics servers for basic detection workflows.

PoE+ Class 4 power consumption (~14W) is efficient for outdoor PoE+ switches, and microSD local recording provides failover protection during network interruptions. The IK10 vandal rating combined with IP66 weatherproofing addresses the intersection of security and durability critical to outdoor surveillance. Best suited for organizations prioritizing long-distance identification, AI-driven alerting, and secure enterprise integration.
