01Overview

What the HIK-2CD6520D-IO2 is

The Hikvision DS-2CD6520D-IO2 is a 2 MP inner-vehicle mini dome camera designed for the inside of buses, trains, coaches and other transport. It is a compact, low-profile dome made to sit discreetly in a cabin ceiling or wall without taking up passenger space, and its three-axis adjustment lets you aim the view exactly where you need it during a quick install. The IP66 and IK08 housing handles dust, splashes and the knocks of a public-transport cabin.

A 1/3" sensor records 1080p video at 30 fps, with digital WDR and 3D digital noise reduction to keep the picture usable as light changes through windows and at night. Infrared night vision reaches up to 30 metres, which covers a typical cabin, and as with any infrared camera the image is black and white in the dark. A built-in microphone captures audio alongside the video, useful for incident review on transport, and the camera comes with a 4 mm lens as standard, with 2.8, 6 and 8 mm options to suit different cabin sizes.

It is straightforward to wire and record. The camera connects over a single RJ45 cable and accepts power from PoE (802.3af) or 12 VDC, so it fits neatly into a vehicle's network. A built-in micro SD slot takes a card up to 64 GB for local backup, and it records to a Hikvision mobile NVR over the network. It suits operators who want a simple, durable in-cabin camera with audio and clear low-light video for buses, trains and similar vehicles.

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 HIK-2CD6520D-IO2

Made for vehicle cabins

A compact, low-profile mini dome with an IP66 and IK08 body and three-axis aiming fits discreetly inside buses, trains and coaches.

Video and audio together

A built-in microphone records sound alongside 1080p video, useful for incident review on public transport.

Clear in changing light

Digital WDR, 3D DNR and 30 metre infrared keep the picture usable through bright windows and after dark.

Simple single-cable install

PoE (802.3af) or 12 VDC over one RJ45 cable, plus a microSD slot for local backup, make it quick to fit and run.

05Where it fits

Buses and coaches

Discreet in-cabin coverage of passengers, doors and aisles with audio for incident review.

06Setup

Installation & setup

  1. Choose the lens

    Pick the 4 mm standard lens, or a 2.8 mm for a wider cabin view or 6 to 8 mm for a longer vehicle, before you order so the field of view fits.

  2. Mounting

    Fix the low-profile dome to the cabin ceiling or wall with the supplied hardware, and use the three-axis adjustment to aim the view across the area you want covered.

  3. Power and cabling

    Connect a single RJ45 cable to the vehicle's network; the camera draws power from PoE (802.3af) or a 12 VDC supply.

  4. Setup

    Enable digital WDR, the infrared night mode and the built-in microphone in the recorder, and fit a micro SD card up to 64 GB for local backup.

08Questions

Frequently asked about the HIK-2CD6520D-IO2

Q.01

Is this camera for inside or outside a vehicle?

It is an inner-vehicle camera, designed for the inside of a bus, train or coach cabin. Its low profile and three-axis adjustment make it easy to fit discreetly indoors; for the exterior of a vehicle, a sealed wedge-style mobile camera is the right choice.
Q.02

Does it record sound?

Yes. It has a built-in microphone, so it captures audio alongside the video, which is useful for incident review on public transport. Check that recording audio is permitted for your application before you enable it.
Q.03

How far does it see in the dark?

Its infrared night vision reaches up to 30 metres, which covers a typical cabin or carriage. The infrared image is black and white in darkness rather than colour, as is normal for an IR camera.
Q.04

Which lens should I choose?

It comes with a 4 mm lens as standard, with 2.8, 6 and 8 mm options. The 2.8 mm gives a wider view for a small cabin, while 6 or 8 mm reach further down a longer vehicle. Pick the lens for the area you want each camera to cover.
Q.05

How is it powered and connected?

It connects over a single RJ45 network cable and accepts power from PoE (802.3af) or 12 VDC, so it fits easily into a vehicle's network and recorder. There is no separate power run needed when you use PoE.
Q.06

How much can it store and what does it record to?

A built-in micro SD slot takes a card up to 64 GB for local backup, and the camera records to a Hikvision mobile NVR over the network for the main footage.
Q.07

How tough is it for transport use?

The body is rated IP66 against dust and water jets and IK08 against impact, and it is built specifically as an inner-vehicle camera to take the vibration and handling of a public-transport cabin.

As an inner-vehicle dome it pairs with a Hikvision mobile NVR fitted in the vehicle. For a fixed-site or bench test it records to a standard PoE NVR such as the DS-7608NI-M2/8P 8-channel PoE NVR.
