WV-X22600-V2L i-PRO X-series dome camera with AI

I. Advanced Imaging and Visual Performance

The foundation of this camera’s visual prowess lies in its Image Sensor, an approximate 1/1.8 type CMOS sensor, which offers a substantial Scanning Area of 7.68 mm (H) × 4.32 mm (V). This generous sensor size is instrumental in capturing high-quality images and excelling in challenging lighting scenarios.

The camera demonstrates remarkable Minimum Illumination capabilities. In color mode, it can achieve clear imaging at 0.04 lux (30IRE, F1.5, 1/30s, AGC:11) and impressively at 0.004 lux with an extended shutter speed (16/30s). For monochrome (BW) operation, the camera is capable of functioning in complete darkness (0 lux) when its IR LED is activated, otherwise reaching 0.03 lux, and an exceptional 0.002 lux with extended exposure. These figures highlight the camera’s suitability for continuous 24/7 monitoring in diverse lighting environments, crucial for security in a city like Dubai where conditions can vary from bright daylight to very dark nights.

White Balance is precisely managed with options like ATW1, ATW2, and AWC, ensuring accurate color reproduction under various ambient light sources. The Shutter Speed is highly adaptable, ranging from a fast 1/10000 second to slower fixed speeds like 1/25 or 1/60 second, depending on the selected frame rate mode (e.g., 60 fps, 30 fps, 50 fps, 25 fps). This flexibility allows for precise control over motion blur and exposure in different scenarios. The Maximum Shutter speed extends to 16/30s or 16/25s, optimizing light capture for superior low-light imaging.

Further enhancing image quality, the camera includes Intelligent Auto for automatic optimization of settings, and Super Dynamic, which provides a maximum Dynamic Range of 132 dB. This wide dynamic range is crucial for capturing detail in scenes that feature both extremely bright and very dark areas, preventing issues like overexposure or underexposure. Adaptive Black Stretch allows for fine-tuning of dark regions with an adjustable level from 0 to 255. The camera also integrates Back Light Compensation (BLC) and High Light Compensation (HLC) to maintain clear images when strong backlighting or intense highlights are present. Fog Compensation, with a range of 0 to 8, improves clarity in adverse weather conditions. The Maximum Gain (AGC), adjustable from 0 to 11, provides additional sensitivity control in low-light situations.

The camera’s ability to switch between color and black & white modes is managed by Color/BW (ICR), offering flexible options including Off, On (with/without IR Light), and various Auto modes (Auto1, Auto2, Auto3 SCC) for seamless transitions. Its integrated IR Illumination provides robust night vision capabilities, with selectable power levels (High/Middle/Low/Off) and a maximum irradiation distance of 70 meters (approx. 230 ft) at 30IRE, or 50 meters (approx. 164 ft) at 50IRE, ensuring effective surveillance in complete darkness. Digital Noise Reduction (adjustable from 0 to 255) further refines image quality by minimizing visual noise.

II. Advanced Detection and AI-Powered Analytics

Beyond basic image capture, this camera integrates sophisticated detection and analytical features. Video Motion Detection (VMD) is supported with up to 4 configurable areas, enabling the camera to trigger alerts based on movement within specified regions. Scene Change Detection (SCD), with 1 available area, alerts users to significant alterations in the camera’s field of view.

For comprehensive audio monitoring, Audio Detection can be enabled. Complementing this, AI Sound Classification is a powerful feature that can identify specific sounds such as Gunshot, Yell, Vehicle horn, and Glass break, providing highly contextual alerts and enabling proactive responses.

The camera truly distinguishes itself with its extensive AI Analytics capabilities, leveraging Artificial Intelligence for a wide range of intelligent surveillance functions. These include AI Video Motion Detection, AI Privacy Guard, AI Face Detection, AI People Detection, AI Vehicle Detection, AI Non-mask Detection (prior to V3.30), AI Occupancy Detection, AI Scene Change Detection, AI On-site Learning, and AI Processing Relay. These advanced analytics enable more precise event detection, automated privacy protection, efficient subject identification, and adaptable learning capabilities, making it ideal for smart city initiatives in locations like Dubai. The camera’s open platform also supports a variety of 3rd party applications, further expanding its analytical potential.

Privacy is a crucial aspect in modern surveillance, and the camera offers a comprehensive Privacy Zone feature, allowing up to 8 configurable zones to be masked with various colors (gray, white, blue, green, red, black) or mosaic patterns. VIQS (Variable Image Quality on Specified Area) is also available with up to 8 zones, enabling selective enhancement of image quality in areas of interest while conserving bandwidth elsewhere. For flexible installation, Image Rotation options include 0° (Off), 90°, 180° (Upside-down), and 270°. An Image Stabilizer, utilizing a built-in gyro sensor, ensures steady footage, especially in dynamic environments or where vibrations might occur, available only in 30 fps mode. Finally, a Camera Title (OSD) can be displayed with up to 40 characters over 2 lines for clear camera identification on the live feed.

III. Lens Specifications and Surveillance Coverage

The camera’s Lens system is designed for both versatility and precision in capturing visual data. It features a 2.0x Motorized Optical Zoom and Motorized Focus, allowing for convenient remote adjustment of the field of view and sharpness without manual intervention. An Extra Zoom capability extends up to a maximum of 10.4x, proving particularly useful when operating at lower resolutions like 640×360, where digital enlargement becomes more effective.

The Focal Length ranges from 4.3 mm to 8.6 mm, which translates to a flexible Angular Field of View in 16:9 mode: Horizontal: 52° (TELE) – 101° (WIDE) and Vertical: 29° (TELE) – 55° (WIDE). This wide range enables the camera to provide both a broad overview of a scene and detailed close-up monitoring when needed. The Maximum Aperture Ratio of 1:1.5 (WIDE) – 1:2.4 (TELE) indicates excellent light-gathering capabilities across the entire zoom range. The Focus Range extends from 1.0 meter to infinity, ensuring clear images for subjects at various distances, and the Aperture Range can be precisely set from F1.5 to close, allowing for fine control over depth of field.

The camera’s practical surveillance effectiveness is quantified by its DORI (Detect, Observe, Recognize, Identify) specifications, providing a clear measure of its performance at different distances:

• Detect (25ppm / 8ppf): A person can be reliably detected up to 54.9m (WIDE) and 136.5m (TELE).
