§ 01Overview

What the DS-2XM6522G1 is

The Hikvision DS-2XM6522G1 is a 2 MP mobile network camera designed for the exterior of moving vehicles, such as the side, rear or roof of a bus, train, coach or truck.

The wedge-shaped metal body is built to take constant vibration, washing and weather, sealed to IP68 and IP69K against dust, water and high-pressure cleaning and rated IK10 against impact and tampering.

A 1/2.8" sensor records 1080p video at up to 30 fps, and 120 dB true Wide Dynamic Range keeps faces and plates readable against a bright sky, glass or oncoming headlights.

It is made to suit different installs out of the box.

Three fixed lenses, 2.8 mm (105°), 4 mm (87°) and 6 mm (53°), let you match the view to the area you need, from a wide platform-door shot to a tighter look down a vehicle side.

Infrared night vision reaches up to 30 metres, and like any infrared camera the image is black and white in the dark, not colour.

H.265+ compression cuts the bandwidth and storage a mobile recorder needs by a large margin, a built-in micro SD slot takes a card up to 256 GB for local backup, and a built-in heater lets it run from -40 to 75 °C.

The one thing to plan before you order is the power and connector, because this camera comes in several variants.

The -I/ND uses an RJ45 PoE connection, the -IM/ND a four-core M12 aviation plug with PoE for rail and heavy vehicle use, while the -ID and -IDM use DC power through a coaxial or Molex connector.

Choose the variant that matches your mobile recorder and wiring, and pick the lens for your field of view.

Note this is an exterior, wedge-style camera with no audio; for a dome inside the cabin, see the matching mobile dome models.

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-2XM6522G1

Built for the outside of vehicles

A sealed IP68 and IP69K wedge body with IK10 impact protection and a built-in heater is made for road vibration, weather and pressure washing.

Clear video against glass and sky

120 dB true WDR and a 1/2.8" sensor keep faces and number plates readable where bright windows, sky or headlights would wash out a basic camera.

Flexible to fit your fleet

Three lens options and several PoE or DC connector variants let you match the camera to the vehicle, the recorder and the wiring you already have.

Efficient long recording

H.265+ compression and a micro SD slot up to 256 GB stretch recording time on a mobile recorder where storage and bandwidth are limited.

§ 05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Buses and coaches

Side and rear exterior views of doors, boarding and the road, sealed against weather and daily washing.

Trains and trams

Rugged exterior monitoring on rail vehicles, with an M12 PoE variant suited to transport wiring.

Trucks and heavy vehicles

Blind-spot and side coverage that survives vibration, dust and high-pressure cleaning.

Emergency and service fleets

Durable exterior cameras for vans and specialist vehicles operating in hot or freezing conditions.

§ 06Setup

Installation & setup

01

Choose the variant first

Confirm the power and connector type (RJ45 PoE, M12 PoE, coaxial DC or Molex DC) and the lens (2.8, 4 or 6 mm) to match your mobile recorder and the view you need.

02

Mounting

Fix the wedge body to the exterior surface using the supplied hardware, aiming it along the door, side or area you want covered, and seal the cable entry to keep the IP68 and IP69K rating.

03

Power and cabling

Run the matching cable back to a Hikvision mobile NVR. PoE variants carry power and video on one lead; DC variants need a suitable supply in the vehicle.

04

Setup

Set the recording, WDR and night-vision options in the recorder or web interface, and fit a micro SD card up to 256 GB if you want local backup alongside the mobile NVR.

§ 07Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-2XM6522G1

Q.01

Which power and connector variant should I order?

It comes in several versions: -I/ND uses RJ45 with PoE, -IM/ND uses a four-core M12 aviation plug with PoE for rail and heavy-vehicle use, and -ID and -IDM use DC power through a coaxial or Molex connector. Match the variant to your mobile recorder and the wiring already in the vehicle before you order.
Q.02

Which lens should I choose?

There are three fixed lenses. The 2.8 mm gives the widest view at about 105 degrees for a broad area, the 4 mm is a balanced 87 degrees, and the 6 mm is a tighter 53 degrees for reaching a little further. Pick the angle that frames the door, side or platform you want to cover.
Q.03

Is this camera for the inside or the outside of a vehicle?

It is an exterior, side-view wedge camera designed for the outside of a bus, train or truck. Its IP68 and IP69K sealing handles rain and pressure washing. For monitoring inside the cabin, a mobile dome camera is the better shape.
Q.04

How well does it handle vibration and harsh weather?

It is built for it. The metal body is sealed to IP68 and IP69K against dust, water and high-pressure cleaning, rated IK10 against impact, and has a built-in heater so it works from -40 to 75 degrees C through constant road vibration.
Q.05

How far does it see at night?

Infrared night vision reaches up to 30 metres. The infrared image is black and white in the dark rather than colour, which is normal for an IR camera and keeps a clear picture in zero light.
Q.06

Does it record audio?

No. This model has no audio input or microphone, so it records video only. If you need sound, choose a mobile camera that lists built-in or line-in audio.
Q.07

What can I record it to and how much storage do I need?

It records to a Hikvision mobile NVR over its network or PoE connection, and a built-in micro SD slot takes a card up to 256 GB for local backup. H.265+ compression keeps file sizes down, so a card or recorder lasts much longer than with older compression.

§ 09Bundles

Recommended packages

01

Add the right recorder

This is a mobile camera, so it pairs with a Hikvision mobile NVR (ordered to suit your vehicle). For a fixed-site or test bench you can record it to a standard PoE NVR such as the DS-7608NI-M2/8P 8-channel PoE NVR.
