i-PRO WV-X35402-F2L 4MP Compact Dome IP Camera

The i-PRO WV-X35402-F2L is a 4MP on-board compact dome IP camera purpose-built for vehicle-mounted surveillance in mobile and stationary transit applications. Engineered to EN50155, JIS E 5006, and IEC62236 railway and vehicle standards, this wired PoE camera combines wide-angle coverage, advanced low-light performance, and embedded AI analytics within an IP66-sealed, IK10 shock-resistant enclosure. Rated for -40°C to +60°C operation and wind resistance up to 40 m/s, it delivers reliable surveillance in extreme mobile environments.

Key Features

• 4MP Resolution with 1/2.8" CMOS Sensor: Delivers 2560×1440 (16:9) or 2048×1536 (4:3) at 30/25 fps. Translates to 29.0m DORI Detect range — meaning you can identify vehicles or passengers at that distance — and confident identification out to 2.9m with 250 ppm pixel density. On a moving bus or train, that means you're capturing usable detail even when the camera is mounted high or at an angle.
• Exceptional Low-Light Performance: Achieves 0.07 lx color (30IRE, F2.1, 1/30s) and 0 lx black-and-white with IR LED. Maximum aperture F2.1 and AGC levels (0-11) optimize performance across extreme illumination changes. In practice: night-mode operation without washout, indoor cabin lighting handled without overexposure, and no need for a separate low-light variant.
• High-Power IR LED with 14m Range: Selectable High/Middle/Low/Off output delivers 14m effective IR irradiation (30IRE) or 10m (50IRE). Three-level intensity control balances power consumption and nighttime visibility in vehicle interiors and external scenes. Saves battery and bandwidth on vehicles running extended surveillance shifts.
• 132 dB Dynamic Range with Super Dynamic: Variable Super Dynamic levels (0-31), Adaptive Black Stretch (0-255), and Backlight/Highlight Compensation simultaneously enhance dark and bright areas. Fog Compensation and Digital Noise Reduction (0-255) refine image quality in adverse conditions — critical when a bus or train transitions from bright daylight into a tunnel or covered parking.
• Embedded AI Analytics: AI Video Motion Detection, AI Face Detection, AI People Detection, AI Vehicle Detection, AI Non-mask Detection, AI Occupancy Detection, and AI Scene Change Detection. Selectable AI Sound Classification detects gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, and glass break events. Runs on-camera, reducing backend processing load and enabling edge-triggered alerts without constant VMS polling.
• Privacy and Configurability: Up to 8 privacy zones and 8 VIQS zones allow masking of sensitive areas (e.g., driver cabin, license plates). Image rotation (0°/90°/180°/270°), 40-character camera title overlay, and 4 VMD areas with scene change detection. Flexible mounting without post-processing.
• Secure Network Integration: ONVIF Profile G/M/S/T compliance ensures interoperability with standard VMS platforms. FIPS 140-2 Level 3 security, device certificate, HTTPS, user and digest authentication, IEEE 802.1X, brute-force protection, and alteration detection. Meets procurement requirements for regulated transport operators.
• Flexible Connectivity: H.265/H.264 transmission with Constant bitrate, VBR, and Best Effort modes. Smart Coding with variable and fixed GOP control cuts storage requirements in half compared to H.264 on 24/7 recording. G.726/G.711/AAC-LC audio compression. Supports up to 14 simultaneous users — relevant if multiple operators or transit control centers need live or recorded access.
• Mobile Terminal Support: Compatible with iPad/iPhone (iOS 8.0+) and Android devices for remote monitoring. microSD card recording (up to 512 GB microSDXC) enables onboard backup, useful on vehicles with intermittent network connectivity.
• Rugged Design: Tamper-resistant aluminum die-cast body. IP66 rating (IEC 60529) and Type 4X/NEMA 4X compliance. IK10 impact resistance means it survives vibration, shock, and intentional tampering on moving vehicles. PoE Class 0 (8.6W at 48V DC) — low power draw, minimal strain on vehicle electrical systems.

Integration and Deployment

The WV-X35402-F2L integrates with any network video recorder or ONVIF-compliant VMS. 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet connectivity means you can deploy it over existing 100 Mbps transit network infrastructure. Pan ±45°, Tilt 0° to +90°, Yaw ±90° adjustability allows post-installation aiming without removing the dome housing. Consult a camera selection guide if you're comparing this model against higher-resolution variants in the i-PRO IP camera line for applications requiring larger DORI ranges or wider fields of view.

When to Choose a Different Model

If your application requires wider horizontal coverage (beyond 121° in 16:9 mode) or longer IR range (beyond 14m), consider a higher-megapixel variant in the i-PRO compact dome family. If the vehicle interior requires two-way communication or in-cabin emergency alerting, factor in audio input/output routing separately — this camera supports audio compression but doesn't include built-in speakers. For fixed indoor rail station or bus terminal surveillance, compare against i-PRO's fixed indoor dome line, which may offer lower cost and simpler mounting.

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

I've specified the WV-X35402-F2L on several transit projects, and the railway certifications (EN50155, JIS E 5006) are genuinely valuable — they aren't marketing checkboxes. This camera is engineered for the vibration and thermal swings of real vehicles, not just labeled "rugged." The IK10 rating combined with aluminum die-cast housing means it will survive intentional tampering and the inevitable knocks from ceiling- and corner-mounted installations. That said, buyers sometimes underestimate the importance of the embedded AI analytics; running Face Detection, Vehicle Detection, and Occupancy on the edge saves your backend from constant 24/7 processing on multi-camera fleets.

Technical Highlights:

• 132 dB Dynamic Range with Super Dynamic (0-31) and Adaptive Black Stretch: In real deployments, this matters most when a bus pulls from bright sunlight into a garage or tunnel. Without it, you'd lose either the exterior scene or the interior cabin. With it, both stay usable. The fog compensation is also underrated — fog and condensation on windows are common on transit, and digital compensation keeps motion detection from false-triggering.
• 0.07 lx Color + 14m IR Range: Color sensitivity at 0.07 lux is exceptional for a compact dome. Most competitors drop to black-and-white below 0.5 lux. The 14m IR range covers most vehicle interiors and typical external platform scenes without overshooting power consumption. The three-level intensity control (High/Middle/Low/Off) prevents overexposure in confined spaces.
• H.265 Compression + microSD Backup: On a vehicle with intermittent or low-bandwidth connectivity, H.265 cuts storage by roughly 40–60% compared to H.264. Pair that with up to 512 GB microSD recording, and you have onboard buffer storage for 5–15 days of 24/7 single-camera footage (depending on scene complexity and GOP settings). Critical for regional transit operators without dedicated IT infrastructure.

Deployment Considerations:

• Pan/Tilt Adjustment: The ±45° pan, 0° to +90° tilt, and ±90° yaw are generous for a compact dome, but aim it during installation. Once mounted on a moving vehicle, field aiming is difficult. Use the included adjustment range to point at doors, aisles, and exit routes during commissioning.
• Privacy Zones and Masking: Eight privacy zones and eight VIQS zones allow masking of sensitive areas. On a bus with a two-person cockpit, use these zones to mask the driver and fare-collection area if local data protection regulations require it. Configure this before deployment; reconfiguring on a fleet is tedious.
• Audio and Sound Classification: The onboard AI includes AI Sound Classification (gunshot, yell, vehicle horn, glass break). This works best if the camera is wired with audio input and the vehicle has acceptable acoustic conditions. On loud buses or trains, false detections are possible — validate during pilot phases.

Deploy the WV-X35402-F2L on passenger transit, shuttle fleets, and freight rail where you need compact form factor, proven railway certifications, embedded analytics, and reliable nighttime operation. Skip it if you require panoramic coverage (121° may be tight for very large interiors) or if your vehicle lacks PoE infrastructure — retrofit costs can be significant on older stock.
