Verdict
i-PRO WV-S1536LTN captures more pixel detail (2.1 MP vs 0.3 MP), useful for license-plate or face identification at distance. Bosch DINION thermal 8100i NBT-8701-F42VF reaches further (586 m vs 80 m) — better for perimeter and parking-lot wide shots. i-PRO WV-S1536LTN has stronger IR illumination (60 m vs 0 m) — better for unlit corridors and night perimeter. i-PRO WV-S1536LTN ships a low-light / ColorVu sensor — better in mixed-light retail or city-street scenes.
Frequently asked questions
Is Bosch DINION thermal 8100i NBT-8701-F42VF better than i-PRO WV-S1536LTN?
i-PRO WV-S1536LTN captures more pixel detail (2.1 MP vs 0.3 MP), useful for license-plate or face identification at distance. Bosch DINION thermal 8100i NBT-8701-F42VF reaches further (586 m vs 80 m) — better for perimeter and parking-lot wide shots. i-PRO WV-S1536LTN has stronger IR illumination (60 m vs 0 m) — better for unlit corridors and night perimeter. i-PRO WV-S1536LTN ships a low-light / ColorVu sensor — better in mixed-light retail or city-street scenes. For installation-specific advice — mounting height, tilt, obstacle shadowing, BOM and PoE budget — drop both cameras into CCTVplanner and the FOV cones, DORI rings (per EN 62676-4) and cable schedule render in real time on a satellite map or imported floor plan.
What is the field of view of Bosch DINION thermal 8100i NBT-8701-F42VF vs i-PRO WV-S1536LTN?
Bosch DINION thermal 8100i NBT-8701-F42VF has a 10° horizontal FOV at 42mm. i-PRO WV-S1536LTN has a 40° horizontal FOV at 9-21mm. i-PRO covers a wider scene at the same distance; the FOV calculator on CCTVplanner converts these into linear meters of coverage at any chosen target distance.
Which camera has stronger IR illumination?
i-PRO WV-S1536LTN reaches 60 m of IR illumination versus no IR for Bosch DINION thermal 8100i NBT-8701-F42VF. The further-reaching IR camera is the better fit for unlit yards, parking perimeters and warehouses without permanent lighting.
Can I plan a project mixing Bosch and i-PRO cameras?
Yes. CCTVplanner is multi-vendor by design — drop Bosch and i-PRO cameras on the same canvas, share the same EN 62676-4 lens math and DORI ring overlays, and consolidate them into one BOM with cable schedule and PoE budget. Vendor design tools (Axis Site Designer, Hikvision HiTools, Dahua Project Design Tool, i-PRO SDT) cannot do this because each speaks only its own catalog.
