WV-X22700-V2L i-PRO X-series dome camera with AI

I. Advanced Imaging and Visual Fidelity

The camera’s core imaging capabilities are built around an Approx. 1/1.8 type CMOS image sensor, providing a generous scanning area of 7.68 mm (H) × 4.32 mm (V). This substantial sensor size is pivotal for superior image acquisition and enhanced low-light performance.

One of the standout features is its remarkable Minimum Illumination performance. In color mode, the camera can capture clear images at an impressive 0.04 lux (30IRE, F1.5, 1/30s, AGC:11), and even as low as 0.004 lux with extended exposure (16/30s). For monochrome (BW) operation, the camera achieves true darkness surveillance with 0 lux when the IR LED is activated, otherwise reaching 0.03 lux, and an exceptional 0.002 lux with extended exposure. These figures highlight the camera’s ability to deliver high-quality video around the clock, regardless of ambient light conditions.

White Balance is precisely controlled with options like ATW1, ATW2, and AWC, ensuring accurate color reproduction across diverse lighting environments. The Shutter Speed is highly adaptable, ranging from a swift 1/10000 second to a fixed 1/60, 1/30, 1/50, or 1/25 second, depending on the selected frame rate mode (60 fps, 30 fps/15 fps, 50 fps, or 25 fps/12.5 fps). The Maximum Shutter extends to 16/30s or 16/25s, optimizing light capture for superior low-light imaging.

The camera incorporates intelligent image enhancement technologies such as Intelligent Auto (On/Off) for automatic optimization of various settings, and Super Dynamic (On/Off, with a range of 0 to 31). When Super Dynamic is active at level 31, the camera achieves a remarkable Dynamic Range of Max. 132 dB, crucial for rendering details in scenes with extreme light and shadow variations. Adaptive Black Stretch offers fine-grained control over dark areas, with an adjustable level from 0 to 255. Back Light Compensation (BLC) and High Light Compensation (HLC), adjustable from 0 to 31, are available when Super Dynamic or Intelligent Auto are off, effectively managing over- or underexposure from strong background or highlight sources. Fog Compensation (On/Off, range 0 to 8) further enhances visibility in adverse weather, available when Intelligent Auto or Auto contrast adjust are off. The Maximum Gain (AGC) can be set from 0 to 11, providing additional sensitivity in dim conditions.

The camera seamlessly transitions between color and monochrome modes via Color/BW (ICR), offering Off, On (with or without IR Light), and various Auto modes including Auto3 (SCC). Its integrated IR Illumination provides powerful night vision, with selectable levels (High/Middle/Low/Off) and a maximum irradiation distance of 70 meters (approx. 230 ft) at 30IRE and 50 meters (approx. 164 ft) at 50IRE. Digital Noise Reduction, with levels from 0 to 255, ensures clean, high-quality images by minimizing visual noise.

II. Advanced Detection and AI-Powered Analytics

Beyond standard video capture, this camera integrates sophisticated detection and analytical capabilities to enhance security and situational awareness. Video Motion Detection (VMD) allows for up to 4 configurable detection areas, triggering alerts upon specified movements. Scene Change Detection (SCD) provides alerts for significant alterations in the camera’s field of view within 1 designated area.

For audio monitoring, Audio Detection can be enabled. A highly valuable feature is AI Sound Classification, which can intelligently identify and differentiate sounds such as Gunshot, Yell, Vehicle horn, and Glass break, providing highly specific and actionable alerts.

The camera truly excels in its comprehensive suite of AI Analytics, 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 adaptive learning capabilities. The camera’s open platform also supports a variety of 3rd party applications, further extending its analytical potential.

Privacy is a key design consideration, with the Privacy Zone feature allowing users to define and mask up to 8 configurable zones with various colors (gray, white, blue, green, red, black) or a mosaic pattern. 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 optimizing bandwidth. For flexible installation, Image Rotation options include 0° (Off), 90°, 180° (Upside-down), and 270°. An integrated Image Stabilizer, utilizing a built-in gyro sensor, ensures steady footage, particularly in dynamic environments, and is available only in the 30 fps mode. Finally, a customizable Camera Title (OSD) can display up to 40 alphanumeric characters over 2 lines for clear camera identification.

III. Lens Specifications and Field of View

The camera’s lens system is engineered for both versatility and precise control. It features a 2.0x Motorized Optical Zoom and Motorized Focus, enabling convenient remote adjustment of the field of view and sharpness.
