IP security camera Panasonic WV-S3111L Indoor 1280 x 960 Dome

The WV-S3111L is a compact indoor dome IP security camera with a 1280 x 960 resolution and a fixed 2.8 mm lens. Its small, simple design allows installation on ceilings or walls without affecting interior aesthetics, while a 97° horizontal viewing angle and a minimum illumination of 0.01 lx provide reliable monitoring in low-light conditions. The camera uses Panasonic iA (Intelligent Auto) to adjust exposure and motion-related settings in real time, and supports H.265 Smart Coding for reduced bandwidth and longer recordings. Built-in FIPS 140-2 standard encryption secures video streaming.

Advantages

The WV-S3111L delivers a wide dynamic range (134 dB) for balanced exposure in scenes with strong backlight, along with color night vision that maintains accurate color rendition in low light. Intelligent Auto minimizes motion blur and distortion automatically. H.265 Smart Coding reduces storage and bandwidth needs by up to 95% compared with conventional H.264, and the compact dome form factor supports discreet indoor placement.
