About the i-PRO WV-S2536L-LNS
The i-PRO WV-S2536L-LNS is a discreet dome housing well-suited to indoor retail, office, lobby, and educational environments where aesthetics matter. At 1080p the camera produces detail dense enough to identify faces inside ~10 meters and read European license plates inside 8 meters under daylight conditions. A 50–80 m IR range turns this into a true night-perimeter camera — open yards, fenced lots, and rural properties become practical use cases without supplemental lighting. A narrow field of view trades coverage area for pixel density at distance — the right choice when you need to read faces or plates far from the camera, e.g., long corridors, gate approaches, ANPR installations. The Super Low Light sensor is the feature most installers care about for residential and parking-lot use — it preserves identification detail when older cameras lose all color and most contour.
Best use cases for this camera
Outdoor perimeter & fenceline
With 50m IR reach and 2.1MP (1920×1080) resolution, this camera covers fences, yards, and approach roads in complete darkness. Mount on poles or eaves at 4–6 m height angled slightly downward.
Entrance, lobby & vestibule
Low-light sensitivity preserves face detail even when interior lighting is dimmed for energy savings. Useful for capturing visitors as they enter and leave.
Long corridor & aisle monitoring
The 36° narrow angle is intentionally tuned for corridor work — it concentrates pixel density along the length of the hallway rather than wasting resolution on the side walls. Mount at the far end facing along the corridor.
Retail & office interior
Dome form factor and 2.1MP (1920×1080) resolution make this a clean retail/office choice — the housing blends into ceilings and the sensor delivers enough detail for POS-area monitoring and incident review.
Strengths
- •50m IR range eliminates the need for external night-time illuminators
- •Super Low Light sensor maintains color detail in near-darkness
- •Vandal-resistant dome housing harder to tamper with than bullet form factor
Considerations
- •Narrow angle requires more cameras to cover wide areas — plan camera count accordingly

Night Vision Performance
Daytime
Full 2.1MP (1920×1080) resolution at 36° field of view. Effective identification range up to 60m in good lighting conditions.
Nighttime (IR)
Built-in IR LEDs illuminate up to 50m in complete darkness. Super Low Light sensor captures colour images in near-darkness.
Installation tips for the WV-S2536L-LNS
Ceiling-mount at 2.5–3.5 m for indoor use; for vandal-prone outdoor locations use a wall mount with the lens facing outward and downward.
Avoid mounting under direct ceiling lights or behind glass — both reflect IR back into the lens and create severe glare in the image.
Plan cabling for multiple cameras to cover wide areas — at 36° you cover roughly 6 m of width per camera at 10 m distance.
Coverage geometry & DORI distances
At a 5-metre standoff the i-PRO WV-S2536L-LNS covers about 3.2 m of scene width; at 10 m that grows to 6.5 m, and at 20 m to 13.0 m. Translating those numbers through EN 62676-4 pixel-density thresholds, the camera can detect a person up to 119 m, observe up to 48 m, recognise up to 24 m, and produce identification-grade detail (the ≥250 px/m bar used by Polish and EU courts as evidentiary) up to 12 m. Effective range above the identify threshold relies on supplementary lighting or a longer-focal-length optic — the geometry above assumes the 9-21mm lens declared by the manufacturer.
Power & cabling
The i-PRO WV-S2536L-LNS draws an estimated 12.0 W under typical load (with the IR illuminator engaged where applicable), placing it in the 802.3af (Class 3, ≤15.4 W) budget. A single switch port supplies enough power without an injector. Cabling: stick to Cat6 STP for runs up to 100 m end-to-end — beyond that, add an inline PoE extender or move to fibre with a media converter at the camera end. On outdoor runs, route through ø25 PVC or PE conduit to keep the cable shielded from UV and rodents.
Privacy & legal (GDPR / RODO)
Any camera operating in a publicly accessible area falls under GDPR (RODO in Poland) — Art. 13 obliges the data controller to post an information sign at every entry point with controller name, DPO contact, lawful basis (typically Art. 6(1)(f) legitimate interest for property protection), purpose, and retention period. Even a narrowly-aimed dome camera can incidentally record passers-by, so the Art. 13 sign at the entry point applies regardless of how tightly the lens is framed.
Installer time & cost (rough estimate)
A typical EU installer quotes 3–4 h of labour per dome camera of this class (approximately €135–€185 excluding hardware), broken down as bracket mounting, cable termination at both ends, on-site commissioning, and a brief operator handover. Allow extra time for high mounts (>4 m), exterior installations requiring scaffolding, or sites where cable routing demands wall penetrations or conduit work.
Indicative EU 2024-2025 pricing — actual quotes vary by region, mounting height, and site conditions. Excludes hardware, transport, permits, and VAT.
Frequently asked questions
Is the i-PRO WV-S2536L-LNS suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes for the IP66/IP67-rated variant of this model. Bullet and dome bodies in the i-PRO range survive direct rain, snow and UV; check the IP / IK rating against your environment (IP66 for rain/dust, IK10 for vandal-prone locations).
What PoE class powers the i-PRO WV-S2536L-LNS?
The camera draws roughly 12.0 W in steady-state operation, requiring a 802.3af (Class 3, ≤15.4 W) switch port. A single Cat6 STP cable carries both data and power up to 100 m — beyond that, add an inline extender or convert to fibre near the camera.
How much storage does the i-PRO WV-S2536L-LNS consume per day?
At 2.1MP (1920×1080) resolution, 15 fps H.265 continuous recording, the WV-S2536L-LNS produces approximately 8 GB per day — about 240 GB per month. Motion-only or event-triggered recording typically cuts that by 40–70 % depending on scene activity. Plan NVR HDD capacity for the longest retention period required by your privacy policy or insurance contract.
Up to what distance can the i-PRO WV-S2536L-LNS identify a person?
Per EN 62676-4:2025 pixel-density thresholds, this camera identifies (≥ 250 px/m on the target) up to about 12 m, recognises a person up to 24 m, observes general activity up to 48 m, and detects motion up to 119 m. Identification distance assumes daylight or full IR illumination on the target — at the limits of the IR cone the effective identify distance shrinks roughly 30 %.
What network bandwidth does i-PRO WV-S2536L-LNS use?
Typical ingest is 3 Mbps for the main stream (H.265, medium scene complexity, 15 fps) plus ~0.5 Mbps for a low-resolution sub-stream used by mobile clients. For a 16-camera installation of this class, plan a 50–100 Mbps NVR uplink and a dedicated VLAN for camera traffic.
