Product SKU: DS-2CD2955G0-ISU
Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-2CD2955G0-ISU 5MP Fisheye Network Camera uses a fixed 1.05mm lens to capture a complete 180° horizontal, vertical and diagonal view from one compact camera. Its 1/2.7-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor records at up to 2560 × 1920 resolution, while 120dB true WDR helps retain detail in areas with strong backlighting. Built-in infrared illumination provides night coverage up to 8m, and the integrated microphone records real-time audio without requiring a separate microphone. H.265+ compression, configurable fisheye display modes, MicroSD storage up to 256GB, audio and alarm interfaces, PoE and smart event detection make it suitable for shops, offices, foyers and other indoor areas requiring broad coverage.

Why Choose the DS-2CD2955G0-ISU
Choose the Hikvision DS-2CD2955G0-ISU when an indoor area requires broad panoramic coverage but multiple conventional cameras would add unnecessary cabling, network ports and visual clutter. Its 1.05mm fisheye lens captures a complete 180° view, while supported dewarping and display modes allow operators to review the scene in more practical panoramic or virtual PTZ layouts. The built-in microphone, 8m infrared illumination and 120dB WDR support both daytime and night-time monitoring. Security Wholesalers supplies this camera for professional indoor surveillance systems requiring compact installation, audio recording and flexible fisheye viewing.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Choose this fisheye model for wide room coverage and situational awareness rather than tightly framed identification of distant targets.
Buyer Tip: Confirm that the selected NVR or video management platform supports the required fisheye dewarping, display modes, audio recording and smart events.
Installation Note: Ceiling mounting usually provides the most balanced panoramic coverage, while wall or tabletop mounting may suit specific directional applications.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a compact 5MP fisheye camera with 180° coverage, built-in audio, 8m infrared and alarm interfaces.
- Choose ceiling mounting for: Balanced panoramic coverage around the camera in shops, offices, foyers and open rooms.
- Choose a conventional fixed camera if: The priority is detailed identification of a narrow doorway, counter or distant target rather than a broad overview.
- Check software compatibility: Confirm that the NVR or management platform supports the required fisheye dewarping and virtual PTZ viewing modes.
- Check privacy requirements: Built-in audio recording must be configured and used in accordance with applicable workplace, surveillance and privacy obligations.
FAQs
- What area does the DS-2CD2955G0-ISU cover?
The 1.05mm fisheye lens provides a 180° horizontal, vertical and diagonal field of view. When ceiling mounted, it can capture a broad overview around the camera with fewer blind areas than a conventional fixed-lens model. - What resolution does the camera record?
The camera records at up to 5MP resolution, measuring 2560 × 1920 pixels. This provides detailed panoramic footage while supporting lower-resolution streams for remote viewing and bandwidth management. - Does the camera include a built-in microphone?
Yes. The DS-2CD2955G0-ISU includes a built-in microphone for mono audio recording. It also provides separate audio input and output interfaces for compatible external audio equipment. - How far does the infrared illumination reach?
The built-in infrared illumination is rated for up to 8m. Actual performance depends on the room layout, ceiling height, surrounding surfaces, target position and the amount of ambient light. - What is fisheye dewarping?
Fisheye dewarping converts the circular or heavily curved source image into more conventional panoramic and virtual PTZ views. Available layouts and playback functions depend on the camera, recorder and management software. - Can the camera record to a MicroSD card?
Yes. It supports MicroSD, MicroSDHC and MicroSDXC cards with capacities up to 256GB. Actual recording duration depends on resolution, frame rate, compression, bitrate, audio and recording schedule. - Is the DS-2CD2955G0-ISU suitable for outdoor use?
This model is intended for indoor installation and does not carry a stated outdoor weather-resistance rating. It should be mounted in a protected location away from rain, condensation and harsh environmental exposure. - What should I check before buying the DS-2CD2955G0-ISU?
Confirm the mounting location, required identification distance, fisheye dewarping compatibility, NVR bandwidth, audio requirements, PoE availability and storage needs. Security Wholesalers can supply this model for compatible professional Hikvision surveillance systems.
