§ 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.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-2XM6522G1
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
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.
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.
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.
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.

§ 09Bundles
Recommended packages
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.
Add storage
Fit a surveillance hard drive such as a 2TB surveillance hard drive or a 6TB surveillance hard drive in the recorder, plus a micro SD card in the camera for local backup.
Compare mobile cameras
For a 1080p front or cabin view, the AE-VC211T-IRS mobile vehicle camera is a compact alternative for the same fleet.
