01Overview

What the DS-2CD5A85G0-IZ is

The Hikvision DS-2CD5A85G0-IZ is an 8 MP DarkFighter motorised varifocal bullet aimed at enterprise and high-value sites that need detail and good images in poor light. The large 1/1.8" sensor combines high 4K resolution with DarkFighter low-light sensitivity, so it holds usable colour as light fades and switches to infrared in full darkness for clear black and white footage up to 50 m.

120 dB Wide Dynamic Range balances bright and dark areas in the same frame, which helps where headlights or a bright sky sit behind a shaded entrance. The motorised 2.8 to 12 mm lens sets zoom and focus remotely, so a single technician can dial in a driveway, car park or boundary without re-adjusting the camera by hand. On-board smart analytics include behaviour rules such as line crossing and intrusion, exception detection, face detection and counting, which run on the camera itself.

This is a metal bullet rated IP67 and IK10 for weather and impact, with a microSD slot up to 256 GB, a gigabit network port and audio and alarm connections. It runs on PoE (802.3at) or 12 VDC. Note the night image is infrared black and white rather than colour, and audio is handled through a line-in and a line-out connection for an external microphone and speaker; there is no microphone or speaker inside the camera. Record it to a Hikvision NVR so events stay quick to search.

8MP Ultra HD

8MP (4K) resolution captures four times the detail of 1080p.
Even when a person or car is far down the driveway, you can zoom in and still recognise a face or read a number plate — detail that lower-resolution cameras lose.

50m IR Night Vision — Built-in infrared sees in total darkness up to around 50m — good for longer driveways... (2/2)

50m IR Night Vision

Built-in infrared sees in total darkness up to around 50m — good for longer driveways, car parks and wider properties. People and vehicles stay visible well beyond the reach of a porch light.

04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the DS-2CD5A85G0-IZ

Detail at 8 MP

A 4K sensor resolves faces, plates and signage with room to zoom into recorded footage.

Strong in poor light

DarkFighter sensitivity holds usable images as light fades, with 50 m infrared for full darkness.

Frame it from the app

A motorised 2.8 to 12 mm zoom sets and refocuses the view remotely, so one technician can dial in each camera.

Built for tough sites

An IP67, IK10 metal body handles Australian weather and impact on exposed positions.

05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Commercial perimeters

Watch a yard or car park edge in 4K with strong low-light detail after hours.

Car parks and forecourts

Zoom in on a row of vehicles or a gate from one position with the powered lens.

Building entrances

Balance a bright doorway against a darker interior with 120 dB WDR.

Long driveways and approaches

Reach down a driveway at night with 50 m infrared and high-resolution detail.

06Setup

Installation & setup

  1. What's in the box

    One DS-2CD5A85G0-IZ bullet camera with a mounting template, fixings and a quick guide. The PoE switch or NVR, network cable, microSD card and any junction box are supplied separately.

  2. Installation requirements

    Mount it on a wall or eave aimed along the area you want to cover and run one network cable back to a PoE switch or NVR that supports 802.3at, or use 12 VDC. Set the zoom, focus and analytics in the software, add external audio to the line-in and line-out if needed, and record it to a Hikvision NVR for review.

08Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-2CD5A85G0-IZ

Q.01

Does the DS-2CD5A85G0-IZ record in colour at night?
It is a DarkFighter camera, so it holds colour in low light far better than an ordinary camera, but in full darkness it uses infrared and the image is black and white. The white-light colour you may have seen described applies to dim conditions, not a completely dark scene.
Q.02

How far does the night vision reach?
Built-in infrared reaches up to 50 m. The exact useful distance depends on the lens zoom you set and how reflective the scene is.
Q.03

What resolution is it?
It is an 8 MP (4K, 3840 x 2160) camera, so it resolves faces, plates and signage with plenty of room to digitally zoom into recorded footage when you review an event.
Q.04

Does it have a built-in microphone or two-way audio?
No. It has a line-in and a line-out connection for an external microphone and speaker, but there is no microphone or speaker inside the camera. Add your own audio devices if you need sound.
Q.05

Does it filter people and vehicles like AcuSense?
It runs smart video analytics such as line crossing, intrusion, exception detection, face detection and counting. It does not carry AcuSense human and vehicle target classification, so if you specifically need people and vehicle filtering, pair it with an AcuSense camera or recorder.
Q.06

What does the motorised lens do?
The 2.8 to 12 mm lens is powered, so you can zoom in or out and refocus remotely from the app or recorder. That makes it easy to frame a driveway, car park or boundary exactly, and to adjust later without returning to the camera.
Q.07

What power does it need?
It runs on PoE (802.3at) over a single network cable, or on 12 VDC. The 802.3at standard gives it enough power for the motorised lens and infrared, so check your switch or NVR supports it.
Q.08

Is it suitable for outdoors in Australia?
Yes. It is rated IP67 against dust and water and IK10 against impact, and operates across a wide temperature range, so it suits exposed outdoor positions and harsh sites.

01

Record and review it

Feed it to a Hikvision AcuSense recorder such as the 16-channel DS-7732NXI-I4/16P NVR for higher channel counts and bandwidth, or the 8-channel DS-7608NI-I2/8P on smaller sites. Add a surveillance-grade drive like the 8 TB for weeks of continuous footage.

02

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.

03

Mount it cleanly

A DS-1280ZJ-S junction box tidies the cabling and screw runs behind the bullet and gives a neat finish on a wall or eave.
