WV-X25300-V3LN i-PRO X-series dome camera with AI

I. Core Imaging and Vision System

The foundation of this surveillance camera’s visual prowess lies in its Image Sensor, which is an approximate 1/2.8 type CMOS sensor. This sensor captures images across a scanning area of 5.57 mm (H) × 3.13 mm (V). While slightly smaller than some professional sensors, it is optimized for exceptional performance, especially in challenging lighting conditions, thanks to the camera’s advanced processing.

The camera demonstrates remarkable sensitivity to light, as evidenced by its Minimum Illumination specifications. In color mode, it can capture clear images with as little as 0.007 lux (at 30IRE, F1.3, 1/30s, AGC:11) and an even more impressive 0.0006 lux with extended exposure (16/30s). For black and white (BW) operation, the camera achieves 0 lux when its IR LED is active, enabling surveillance in complete darkness. Without IR, it can still function at 0.005 lux, and down to 0.0004 lux with extended exposure, making it highly effective for 24/7 monitoring.

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

Further enhancing image quality are features like Intelligent Auto, which automatically optimizes various image settings, and Super Dynamic, which provides an impressive Dynamic Range of up to 144 dB. This exceptionally wide dynamic range is critical for capturing fine details in scenes with extreme variations in brightness, preventing areas from being overexposed or underexposed. Adaptive Black Stretch allows for granular control over shadow areas, with an adjustable level from 0 to 255. The camera also includes Back Light Compensation (BLC) and High Light Compensation (HLC), essential for maintaining clear images when strong backlighting or intense highlight areas are present (these are active when Super Dynamic or Intelligent Auto are off). Fog Compensation, adjustable from 0 to 8, improves image clarity in misty or hazy conditions. The Maximum Gain (AGC), settable from 0 to 11, provides additional sensitivity control in challenging low-light situations.

The camera’s seamless transition between color and black & white modes is managed by Color/BW (ICR), offering options like Off, On (with or without IR Light), and various Auto modes (Auto1, Auto2, Auto3 SCC). 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. Digital Noise Reduction, with a settable level from 0 to 255, further refines image quality by minimizing visual noise.

II. Advanced Detection and AI Analytics

Beyond standard image capture, this camera integrates a suite of sophisticated detection and analytical features. Video Motion Detection (VMD) supports up to 4 configurable areas, allowing for precise alert triggers based on movement within specific regions. Scene Change Detection (SCD), with 1 available area, alerts users to significant alterations in the camera’s field of view, preventing tampering or unexpected changes.

For comprehensive audio monitoring, Audio Detection can be enabled. Complementing this, AI Sound Classification is a powerful feature that can intelligently identify specific sounds such as Gunshot, Yell, Vehicle horn, and Glass break. This provides highly contextual alerts, enabling rapid response to critical incidents.

The camera truly stands out 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 (available 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 directly on the device. The camera’s open platform also supports a variety of 3rd party applications, further expanding its analytical potential.

Privacy is paramount in modern surveillance, and the camera offers a robust Privacy Zone feature, allowing users to define up to 8 configurable zones that can be masked 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 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 with vibration, and is available exclusively in the 30 fps mode. Finally, a Camera Title (OSD) can be displayed with up to 40 alphanumeric characters over 2 lines for clear camera identification.

III. Lens Performance and Operational Range (DORI)

The camera’s lens system is meticulously designed for versatility and precision. It features a 3.1x Motorized Optical Zoom and Motorized Focus, enabling convenient remote adjustment of the field of view and sharpness. An Extra Zoom capability extends up to 9.3x, particularly useful when operating at lower resolutions like 640×360.

The Focal Length ranges from 2.9 mm to 9 mm, providing a flexible Angular Field of View. In 16:9 mode, the horizontal view ranges from 36° (TELE) to 113° (WIDE) and the vertical view from 20° (TELE) to 60° (WIDE). For 4:3 mode, the horizontal view spans 26° (TELE) to 82° (WIDE) and the vertical view from 20° (TELE) to 60° (WIDE). This wide range enables both broad overview surveillance and detailed close-up monitoring. The Maximum Aperture Ratio of 1:1.3 (WIDE) – 1:2.5 (TELE) indicates excellent light-gathering capabilities across the zoom range. The Focus Range extends from 0.3 meters to infinity, ensuring clear images for subjects at various distances, and the Aperture Range can be set from F1.3 to close, allowing for precise depth of field control.

The camera’s effective surveillance reach is precisely quantified by its DORI (Detect, Observe, Recognize, Identify) specifications, which provide a practical measure of the camera’s performance at different distances:

• Detect (25ppm / 8ppf): A person can be detected up to 25.4m (WIDE) and 118.2m (TELE).
• Observe (62.5ppm / 19ppf): General characteristics can be observed up to 10.2m (WIDE) and 47.3m (TELE).

• Identify (250ppm / 76ppf): Positive identification is possible up to 2.5m (WIDE) and 11.8m (TELE).

IV. System Architecture and User Interface

The camera’s robust performance is driven by the Ambarella CV52 System on Chip (SoC), a powerful processor specifically designed for advanced video analytics and efficient encoding. For installation flexibility, the camera offers significant Adjusting Angles: a Horizontal (PAN) angle from -194° to +166°, a Vertical (TILT) angle from -30° to +85°, and an Azimuth (YAW) angle of ±100°. These wide ranges allow for precise positioning and coverage.
