§ 01Overview
What the DS-2CD5546G0-IZS is
The Hikvision DS-2CD5546G0-IZS is a 4 MP DarkFighter motorised varifocal dome built for professional sites that need clean low-light images and intelligent filtering.
The large 1/1.8" sensor and an F1.2 P-Iris lens capture low-noise detail in dim conditions, while 140 dB Wide Dynamic Range keeps both bright and shaded parts of a scene readable at entrances, tunnels and loading areas.
Unlike the 2 MP DarkFighter dome, this model adds AcuSense: deep-learning analytics classify human and vehicle targets, so line-crossing, intrusion and motion events trigger on people and cars and skip animals, rain and moving branches.
It also captures faces for review.
The motorised 2.8 to 12 mm lens sets zoom and focus remotely, and built-in infrared reaches up to 40 m for clear black and white footage at night.
This is a vandal-resistant metal dome rated IP67 and IK10 with a built-in heater for cold or exposed positions, a microSD slot up to 256 GB and an analogue CVBS output for set-up.
It runs on PoE, 12 VDC or 24 VAC.
Audio is handled 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.
Record it to a Hikvision AcuSense NVR so the human and vehicle events stay quick to search.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-2CD5546G0-IZS
Frame it remotely
A motorised 2.8 to 12 mm P-Iris lens sets zoom and focus from the app and holds sharpness as light changes.
Reliable in tough spots
An IP67, IK10 dome with a built-in heater suits cold, damp and exposed positions.
Detail where it counts
4 MP resolution and 140 dB WDR keep faces and contrast readable at busy entrances.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Building entrances
Balance a bright doorway against a dark interior and let AcuSense flag people rather than passing traffic.
Car parks and yards
Cover an open area in 4 MP detail with human and vehicle alerts and 40 m night vision.
Cold or exposed sites
Use the heated, vandal-resistant dome in warehouses, cool rooms and southern outdoor positions.
Loading and service areas
Hold detail in mixed light and filter alerts to people and vehicles only.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the box
One DS-2CD5546G0-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.
Installation requirements
Mount it on a ceiling or wall overlooking the area, and run one network cable back to a PoE switch or NVR, or use 12 VDC or 24 VAC. Set the zoom, focus and AcuSense rules in the software, add external audio to the line-in and line-out if needed, and record it to a Hikvision AcuSense NVR.

§ 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 8 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.
