§ 01Overview

What the DS-2CD5526G0-IZS is

The Hikvision DS-2CD5526G0-IZS is a 2 MP DarkFighter motorised varifocal dome aimed at professional and enterprise sites where light is poor and movement is fast.

Rather than chase megapixels, it uses a large 1/1.8" sensor and an F1.2 lens to capture clean, low-noise images in very dim conditions, and it runs at up to 60 frames per second so fast-moving people, vehicles or machinery stay sharp instead of blurring.

140 dB Wide Dynamic Range balances bright and dark areas in the same frame, which helps at entrances, tunnels and loading areas where strong backlight would wash out an ordinary camera.

The motorised 2.8 to 12 mm lens lets you set the zoom and focus remotely, and built-in infrared reaches up to 30 m on the 2.8 to 12 mm lens for clear black and white footage after dark.

On-board smart analytics include behaviour analysis such as line crossing and intrusion, plus exception detection, face detection and counting.

This is a vandal-resistant metal dome rated IP67 and IK10 for outdoor and exposed indoor sites, with a microSD slot up to 256 GB, a gigabit network port and an analogue CVBS output for set-up.

It runs on PoE (802.3at), 12 VDC or 24 VAC.

Audio is provided through a line-in and a line-out connector for an external microphone and speaker; there is no built-in microphone or speaker on this model.

Representative illustrations of how each key feature performs in a real scene.

30m IR Night Vision

Built-in infrared lets the camera see in complete darkness up to around 30m — enough for a typical driveway, front yard or entrance. People and vehicles stay clear in black-and-white, brighter the closer they are.

§ 04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the DS-2CD5526G0-IZS

Built for poor light

DarkFighter and an F1.2 lens deliver clean, low-noise images where ordinary cameras give up.

Smooth at speed

A 60 fps frame rate keeps fast-moving people and vehicles sharp instead of blurred.

Frame it remotely

A motorised 2.8 to 12 mm lens sets zoom and focus from the app for a precise view.

Tough and weatherproof

An IP67, IK10 metal dome handles outdoor weather and knocks on exposed sites.

§ 05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Traffic and entries

Capture moving vehicles and number plates cleanly with high frame rate and strong low-light performance.

Gaming and hospitality floors

Hold detail under mixed, dim lighting where contrast and movement are constant.

Industrial and loading areas

Balance bright doorways against dark interiors with 140 dB WDR.

High-value indoor spaces

Use the vandal-resistant dome where an exposed camera could be tampered with.

§ 06Setup

Installation & setup

01

What's in the box

One DS-2CD5526G0-IZS dome camera with a mounting template, fixings and a quick guide. The PoE switch or NVR, network cable, microSD card and any wall or pendant mount are supplied separately.

02

Installation requirements

Mount it on a ceiling or wall overlooking the area, and run one network cable back to a PoE switch or NVR that supports 802.3at, or use 12 VDC or 24 VAC. Set the zoom, focus and analytics in the software, add external audio to the line-in and line-out if needed, and record it to a Hikvision NVR.

§ 07Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-2CD5526G0-IZS

Q.01

What makes the DS-2CD5526G0-IZS a low-light camera?

It uses Hikvision DarkFighter technology with a large 1/1.8 inch sensor and an F1.2 lens, which together gather far more light than a typical camera. The result is cleaner, lower-noise images in very dim conditions where an ordinary 2 MP camera would struggle.
Q.02

Why only 2 MP when other cameras are 4 MP or 8 MP?

Spreading the same sensor over fewer, larger pixels improves low-light sensitivity and dynamic range. This camera trades raw resolution for cleaner images in difficult light and a high 60 fps frame rate, which suits fast movement and tricky lighting better than a higher-megapixel model.
Q.03

How far does the night vision reach?

Built-in infrared reaches up to 30 m with the 2.8 to 12 mm lens. The night image is black and white, as the camera uses infrared rather than white light at night.
Q.04

Does it have a built-in microphone?

No. This model has a line-in and a line-out connector for an external microphone and speaker, but there is no microphone or speaker inside the camera. Add your own audio devices if you need sound.
Q.05

Does it detect people and vehicles specifically?

It includes behaviour analysis such as line crossing and intrusion, plus face detection and counting. It does not carry Hikvision AcuSense human and vehicle target classification, so for people and vehicle filtering choose an AcuSense model.
Q.06

What is the 60 fps frame rate good for?

A higher frame rate captures fast movement more smoothly, so number plates on moving vehicles, people moving quickly, or machinery are less likely to blur between frames. It suits traffic, gaming floors and industrial scenes.
Q.07

What power does it use?

It runs on PoE (802.3at, Class 3), 12 VDC or 24 VAC. PoE keeps it to one cable; check your switch or NVR supports 802.3at.
Q.08

Is it suitable for outdoors?

Yes. It is rated IP67 against dust and water and IK10 against impact, so it suits exposed outdoor positions as well as demanding indoor sites.

§ 09Bundles

Recommended packages

01

Record and search it

Connect it to a Hikvision AcuSense recorder such as the 8-channel DS-7608NI-I2/8P NVR, or the larger 16-channel DS-7732NXI-I4/16P, so human and vehicle events stay quick to find. Add a surveillance-grade drive like the 6 TB for weeks of continuous footage.

02

Power it over one cable

Run a single network cable per camera from a PoE source. The HiLook 8-port PoE switch feeds several cameras and the recorder, keeping the cabling tidy on multi-camera sites.

03

Mount it for the spot

A DS-1473ZJ-155 pendant mount lets you suspend the dome from a ceiling or extend it on a wall to get the right angle over an entry or open floor.
