About the i-PRO WV-S4176UX
The i-PRO WV-S4176UX is a wide-coverage panoramic camera that eliminates blind spots in lobbies, classrooms, retail floors, and warehouses. 4K (8MP) resolution roughly quadruples 1080p pixel count, doubling the identification distance on the same lens and giving forensic-grade digital zoom on archived footage. There is no built-in IR illuminator on this model, so it depends entirely on ambient light. In dark environments, pair it with external IR floods or white-light illuminators. An ultra-wide angle (>120°) captures nearly an entire scene from one position, but pixels per meter drops sharply at the edges, so identification at the periphery is limited.
Best use cases for this camera
Entrance, lobby & vestibule
The 183° field of view captures the entire entrance and surrounding waiting area from a single ceiling mount. Useful for capturing visitors as they enter and leave.
Single-camera room coverage
A single panoramic camera replaces 3-4 conventional cameras when ceiling-mounted in the center of an open space. Ideal for retail floors, classrooms, and small warehouses where simplification of cabling and licensing matters.
Strengths
- •9MP sensor preserves detail under digital zoom on recorded footage
- •183° wide field of view reduces the number of cameras needed per area
- •Single-camera coverage of full rooms reduces cabling and licensing cost
Considerations
- •No built-in IR, so it needs external illumination for night use
- •Edge distortion and reduced peripheral pixel density limit identification at the corners of the frame
- •Higher resolution increases storage and bandwidth requirements proportionally; verify NVR capacity
- •Fisheye distortion requires dewarping in software for natural viewing angles

Field of View Visualization
Night Vision Performance
Daytime
Full 9.0MP (2992×2992) resolution at 183° field of view. Effective identification range up to 0m in good lighting conditions.
Nighttime (IR)
No built-in IR: at night it needs ambient light or an external illuminator. Switches to B/W mode for clear night footage.
Installation tips for the WV-S4176UX
Center-ceiling mount at 2.7-3.5 m gives the most uniform coverage; corner mounts work but waste roughly 25% of the field of view on the wall.
Position so the most important subject (entrance, cash register, gate) is in the center third of the frame, because peripheral pixel density drops with wide angles.
Plan storage at roughly 36 GB per camera per day for continuous H.265 recording at 15fps, and verify the NVR has sufficient HDD bay capacity.
Coverage geometry & DORI distances
Across its 183° view the i-PRO WV-S4176UX images an arc rather than a flat strip: about 16.0 m of arc at 5 m, 31.9 m at 10 m and 63.9 m at 20 m. Translating those numbers through EN 62676-4 pixel-density thresholds, the camera can detect a person up to 37 m, observe up to 15 m, recognise up to 7 m, and produce Identify-level detail (250 px/m in the EN 62676-4 DORI scale) up to 4 m. Effective range above the identify threshold relies on supplementary lighting or a longer-focal-length optic; the geometry above assumes the 1.4mm lens declared by the manufacturer.
Power & cabling
The i-PRO WV-S4176UX 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. Panoramic / fisheye coverage almost always captures more than the controller intended, so schedule a privacy mask review after install to blur out staff-only areas, neighbouring premises and any glass that admits a view of third parties.
Installer time & cost (rough estimate)
A typical EU installer quotes 4-5 h of labour per panoramic camera of this class (approximately €180-€230 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 pricing at 2024-2025 rates; actual quotes vary by region, mounting height, and site conditions. Excludes hardware, transport, permits, and VAT.
Frequently asked questions
Is the i-PRO WV-S4176UX suitable for outdoor installation?
Most panoramic units in the i-PRO catalogue are IP66/IK10 rated for outdoor use; verify the exact suffix in the model code (e.g. "-W" for weather-rated). Mount under an eave or recessed canopy where possible: direct rainfall on the dome causes droplets that distort the wide-angle image.
What PoE class powers the i-PRO WV-S4176UX?
The camera draws roughly 12.0 W in steady-state operation, requiring an 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-S4176UX consume per day?
At 9.0MP (2992×2992) resolution, 15 fps H.265 continuous recording, the WV-S4176UX produces approximately 36 GB per day, about 1080 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-S4176UX identify a person?
By the DORI thresholds of EN 62676-4 (Identify at 250 px/m on the target, a density the 2025 edition calls Characterise), this camera reaches Identify level up to about 4 m, recognises a person up to 7 m, observes general activity up to 15 m, and detects motion up to 37 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-S4176UX use?
Typical ingest is 14 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.
