§ 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.

§ 09Bundles
Recommended packages
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.
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.
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.
