About the Pelco SRXE4-4V29-EMD-IR1
The Pelco SRXE4-4V29-EMD-IR1 is a discreet dome housing well-suited to indoor retail, office, lobby, and educational environments where aesthetics matter. 4MP resolution delivers a noticeable detail upgrade over 1080p: on the same lens facial identification reaches about a third farther, and digital zoom on recorded footage stays usable. With long-range IR you can rely on the camera as the only night-vision source over a wide area, eliminating the cost and visual clutter of dedicated IR floods. 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.
Best use cases for this camera
Outdoor perimeter & fenceline
With 70m IR reach and 4.1MP (2688×1520) 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.
Long corridor & aisle monitoring
The 42° 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 4.1MP (2688×1520) 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.
License plate / ANPR
The combination of 42° narrow angle and 4.1MP (2688×1520) resolution provides the pixel density required for ANPR at typical lane widths, especially when paired with proper lane lighting and perpendicular mounting.
Strengths
- •4.1MP sensor preserves detail under digital zoom on recorded footage
- •70m IR range eliminates the need for external night-time illuminators
- •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

Field of View Visualization
Night Vision Performance
Daytime
Full 4.1MP (2688×1520) resolution at 42° field of view. Effective identification range up to 14m in good lighting conditions.
Nighttime (IR)
Built-in IR LEDs illuminate up to 70m in complete darkness. Switches to B/W mode for clear night footage.
Installation tips for the SRXE4-4V29-EMD-IR1
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 42° you cover roughly 8 m of width per camera at 10 m distance.
Plan storage at roughly 16 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
At a 5-metre standoff the Pelco SRXE4-4V29-EMD-IR1 covers about 3.8 m of scene width; at 10 m that grows to 7.7 m, and at 20 m to 15.4 m. Translating those numbers through EN 62676-4 pixel-density thresholds, the camera can detect a person up to 140 m, observe up to 56 m, recognise up to 28 m, and produce Identify-level detail (250 px/m in the EN 62676-4 DORI scale) up to 14 m. Effective range above the identify threshold relies on supplementary lighting or a longer-focal-length optic; the geometry above assumes the 10.9-29mm lens declared by the manufacturer.
Power & cabling
The Pelco SRXE4-4V29-EMD-IR1 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 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 Pelco SRXE4-4V29-EMD-IR1 suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes for the IP66/IP67-rated variant of this model. Bullet and dome bodies in the Pelco 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 Pelco SRXE4-4V29-EMD-IR1?
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 Pelco SRXE4-4V29-EMD-IR1 consume per day?
At 4.1MP (2688×1520) resolution, 15 fps H.265 continuous recording, the SRXE4-4V29-EMD-IR1 produces approximately 16 GB per day, about 480 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 Pelco SRXE4-4V29-EMD-IR1 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 14 m, recognises a person up to 28 m, observes general activity up to 56 m, and detects motion up to 140 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 Pelco SRXE4-4V29-EMD-IR1 use?
Typical ingest is 6 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.
