WV-X25600-V2LN i-PRO X-series dome camera with AI

Core Imaging and Vision Capabilities

At the heart of this surveillance solution is its Image Sensor, an approximate 1/1.8 type CMOS sensor with a scanning area of 7.68 mm (H) × 4.32 mm (V). This larger sensor size is crucial for capturing high-quality images, especially in challenging lighting conditions. The camera demonstrates exceptional performance in low-light environments, boasting a Minimum Illumination of 0.04 lux in color mode (at 30IRE, F1.5, 1/30s, AGC:11), and an even more impressive 0.004 lux with extended exposure (16/30s). For monochrome (BW) operation, the camera can function in complete darkness (0 lux) when its IR LED is active, otherwise achieving 0.03 lux, and an outstanding 0.002 lux with extended exposure. These figures underscore the camera’s ability to maintain clear visibility around the clock.

White Balance is precisely managed with ATW1, ATW2, and AWC options, ensuring accurate color rendition across varying light sources. The camera offers flexible Shutter Speed settings, ranging from a rapid 1/10000 second to a fixed 1/25 or 1/60 second, depending on the chosen frame rate mode (e.g., 60 fps, 30 fps, 50 fps, 25 fps). The Maximum Shutter extends to 16/30s or 16/25s, optimizing light capture for superior low-light imaging.

Further enhancing image quality are features like Intelligent Auto, which optimizes settings automatically, and Super Dynamic, offering a maximum Dynamic Range of 132 dB. This wide dynamic range is essential for capturing detail in scenes with stark contrasts between bright and dark areas. Adaptive Black Stretch allows fine-tuning of dark regions with adjustable levels from 0 to 255. The camera also incorporates Back Light Compensation (BLC) and High Light Compensation (HLC) to prevent underexposure or overexposure caused by strong light sources. Fog Compensation, adjustable from 0 to 8, improves visibility in adverse weather. The Maximum Gain (AGC), settable from 0 to 11, provides additional sensitivity control in dim conditions.

The camera’s ability to switch between color and monochrome imaging is handled by Color/BW (ICR), with options including Off, On (with or without IR Light), and various Auto modes (Auto1, Auto2, Auto3 SCC). Its integrated IR Illumination provides powerful night vision, offering High, Middle, Low, or Off settings. The maximum IR irradiation distance is 70 meters (approx. 230 ft) at 30IRE and 50 meters (approx. 164 ft) at 50IRE. Digital Noise Reduction, with levels from 0 to 255, further refines image clarity by minimizing visual interference.

Intelligent Analytics and Privacy Features

This camera goes beyond basic surveillance with sophisticated detection and analytical capabilities. Video Motion Detection (VMD) can be configured with up to 4 distinct areas, triggering alerts upon movement. Scene Change Detection (SCD), with 1 available area, provides alerts for significant alterations in the camera’s field of view.

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

The camera’s AI Analytics suite leverages Artificial Intelligence for a wide array of advanced 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 analytics enable precise event detection, automated privacy protection, efficient subject identification, and adaptive learning capabilities. The open platform also supports 3rd party applications, significantly expanding its analytical potential.

Privacy is a critical aspect, 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), available with up to 8 zones, enables selective image quality enhancement in areas of interest, optimizing bandwidth usage. For flexible installation and viewing, Image Rotation options include 0° (Off), 90°, 180° (Upside-down), and 270°. An integrated Image Stabilizer, utilizing a built-in gyro sensor, ensures stable footage, particularly in dynamic environments, and is available in 30 fps mode. Finally, a Camera Title (OSD) can be displayed with up to 40 alphanumeric characters over 2 lines for clear camera identification.

Lens Performance and Coverage

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

The Focal Length ranges from 4.3 mm to 8.6 mm, providing a flexible Angular Field of View in 16:9 mode: Horizontal: 52° (TELE) – 101° (WIDE) and Vertical: 29° (TELE) – 55° (WIDE). This broad range allows for both wide-area surveillance and detailed close-up monitoring. The Maximum Aperture Ratio is 1:1.5 (WIDE) – 1:2.4 (TELE), indicating excellent light-gathering capabilities across the zoom range. The Focus Range extends from 1.0 meter to infinity, ensuring sharp images for subjects at various distances, and the Aperture Range can be set from F1.5 to close for precise depth of field control.
