Product Overview
Built for demanding in-vehicle surveillance, the Hikvision DS-2XM6222G1-I/ND is a 2MP mobile network bullet camera designed to operate reliably on public transport, emergency service vehicles, and fleet applications. Featuring an RJ45 Ethernet port for PoE connectivity, it integrates cleanly into mobile NVR systems without the need for separate power cabling to each camera position. Equipped with a 120 dB WDR sensor and 850 nm IR illumination reaching up to 30 metres, it maintains usable 1080P footage across a range of interior and exterior vehicle mounting positions. It also includes 2D and 3D DNR, BLC, and HLC to manage the challenging contrast conditions common in moving vehicle environments. Available in 2.8 mm, 4 mm, and 6 mm fixed lens options, the DS-2XM6222G1-I/ND suits a variety of cabin, exterior, and door-facing installations. Its IP68 rating and vibration resistance make it well suited to the mechanical stress of continuous mobile use.
Key Capabilities
IP68 and Vibration-Resistant Housing
The bullet housing is rated IP68 for complete dust ingress protection and sustained water immersion resistance. Combined with built-in vibration tolerance, it withstands the continuous mechanical stress of road-mounted applications on buses, trucks, and emergency vehicles.
RJ45 PoE Interface
The onboard RJ45 Ethernet port allows direct PoE connection to a compatible mobile NVR, eliminating a separate 12V power run to each camera position. This simplifies vehicle wiring and reduces the number of cable entry points through body panels.
120 dB Wide Dynamic Range
A 120 dB WDR rating allows the sensor to balance exposure across high-contrast scenes, such as bright daylight entering a vehicle door or tunnel exits, where standard cameras would lose detail in either the shadows or highlights.
30 m IR Night Vision
Built-in 850 nm IR illuminators provide night vision coverage up to 30 metres, enabling clear footage from exterior-facing camera positions during night routes without relying on ambient street lighting.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
Rated for operation between -30°C and 75°C, the DS-2XM6222G1-I/ND handles the temperature extremes found in unheated vehicle compartments in winter or enclosed cab environments in summer without performance degradation.
Best For
- Public Transport Fleets: The IP68 housing, vibration resistance, and PoE interface suit bus and rail vehicle installations where cameras are exposed to constant mechanical stress and require simplified wiring to an onboard NVR.
- Emergency and Service Vehicles: The wide operating temperature range and rugged construction support continuous deployment on ambulances, fire appliances, and utility vehicles operating across varied climates.
- Exterior Door and Entry Monitoring: The 120 dB WDR handles the extreme contrast at vehicle doorways, capturing usable footage of passengers boarding and alighting in bright outdoor or low-light conditions.
- Rear and Side Exterior Coverage: The 6 mm lens option provides a narrower field suited to rear-facing or side-mirror replacement views, while the 2.8 mm lens covers wide interior cabin angles from a single mounting point.
Why Choose the DS-2XM6222G1-I/ND
Most standard IP bullet cameras are not engineered for the vibration, temperature extremes, or continuous-duty demands of vehicle-mounted surveillance. The DS-2XM6222G1-I/ND addresses this directly with an IP68-rated housing, confirmed vibration resistance, and an operating range from -30°C to 75°C, none of which are typically found in fixed-site cameras at a comparable price point. The RJ45 PoE interface means installers can run a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable per camera back to a mobile NVR, significantly reducing vehicle wiring complexity versus analogue alternatives. H.265+ compression reduces storage demand on the onboard recorder, which is important in mobile systems with limited HDD capacity. The choice of 2.8 mm, 4 mm, or 6 mm fixed lenses allows the same camera model to serve interior cabin, door, and exterior positions across a fleet without stocking multiple product lines. Available through Security Wholesalers, the DS-2XM6222G1-I/ND is a purpose-built mobile camera for integrators specifying Hikvision vehicle surveillance systems.
Buyer Tip – Lens Selection and Lead Time: Before ordering, confirm the required field of view for each camera position on the vehicle. A 2.8 mm lens suits wide interior cabin coverage from a ceiling mount, a 4 mm lens works for door-area monitoring, and a 6 mm lens is appropriate for exterior rear or forward-facing positions. Note that some lens variants carry a 6-8 week lead time, so confirm availability at the time of ordering if the installation is time-sensitive.
Buyer Tip – Mobile NVR Compatibility: This camera connects via RJ45 Ethernet and requires a compatible mobile NVR with PoE ports or a PoE injector. Confirm channel count and PoE wattage on the NVR before specifying the number of cameras per vehicle. Hikvision mobile NVR models are available to pair with this camera and are listed separately in the mobile vehicle camera range.

Ideal Use Cases
Bus and Coach Interior Monitoring
The 2.8 mm wide-angle lens option provides broad coverage of passenger cabins from a single ceiling-mount position, while the vibration-resistant housing withstands the constant motion of road travel.
Vehicle Door and Entry Points
The 120 dB WDR handles high-contrast lighting at open doors, capturing clear footage of passengers boarding and alighting whether the vehicle is stopped in bright sunlight or in a darkened depot.
Exterior Vehicle Surveillance
IP68 protection and 30 m IR range allow this camera to be mounted externally on vehicles, covering rear approaches or side zones at night without degradation from weather, road spray, or dust exposure.
Emergency Service Vehicles
The -30°C to 75°C operating range supports deployment on ambulances and fire appliances across all Australian climate zones, from alpine winter conditions through to hot-weather operational environments.
Fleet and Logistics Vehicles
H.265+ compression reduces the storage burden on onboard mobile NVR drives during long delivery routes, making it practical to maintain full 1080P recording across multiple cameras without exhausting HDD capacity before the vehicle returns to base.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a PoE-enabled mobile bullet camera with confirmed IP68 protection and vibration resistance for vehicle-mounted surveillance, and your mobile NVR supports RJ45 Ethernet input.
- Choose a different model if: Your vehicle installation requires a dome-format camera for flush ceiling mounting in a passenger cabin, where a bullet housing would protrude and be exposed to accidental contact or vandalism by passengers.
- Choose a different model if: Your mobile NVR uses analogue or coaxial inputs only, as this camera outputs IP video over Ethernet and is not compatible with analogue CCTV recorders.
FAQs
- What is the IP rating of the DS-2XM6222G1-I/ND and what does that mean for vehicle use?
The camera is rated IP68, meaning it is fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand sustained water immersion. For vehicle applications, this means it can be mounted in exposed external positions and will continue to function through rain, road spray, and vehicle wash cycles without moisture penetrating the housing.
- Does this camera require a separate power supply, or does it run on PoE?
The DS-2XM6222G1-I/ND connects via an RJ45 Ethernet port and supports Power over Ethernet. A single Cat5e or Cat6 cable from a compatible PoE mobile NVR or PoE injector provides both power and data, removing the need for a separate 12V power tap at each camera mounting point on the vehicle.
- Which lens option should I select for interior cabin coverage on a bus or coach?
The 2.8 mm fixed lens provides the widest field of view and is the most practical choice for interior ceiling mounting, where it can cover the full width of a passenger cabin from a single position. The 4 mm option suits door-area or driver-facing positions, while the 6 mm lens is better suited to exterior rear or forward-facing applications where a narrower, longer view is required.
- Are all lens variants available immediately, or are there lead times to be aware of?
Some lens variants are held in stock while others carry a 6-8 week lead time. Confirm stock availability for your required lens option before finalising a vehicle fit-out schedule, particularly if multiple vehicles need to be commissioned within a set timeframe. This product is available through Security Wholesalers, and stock status can be confirmed at the time of enquiry.
- What compression formats does the DS-2XM6222G1-I/ND support, and why does that matter in a mobile system?
The camera supports H.265+, H.265, H.264+, and H.264. H.265+ offers the most efficient compression, reducing the bitrate required to record 1080P footage compared to H.264. In a mobile NVR with limited HDD capacity, this allows longer continuous recording per drive before footage is overwritten, which is important on routes where vehicles may not return to base daily.
- Can this camera handle the vibration and temperature conditions found in heavy vehicle applications?
Yes. The DS-2XM6222G1-I/ND is specifically engineered for mobile use with built-in vibration resistance and an operating temperature range of -30°C to 75°C. This covers conditions from cold overnight storage of vehicles in alpine areas through to enclosed engine-bay-adjacent compartments or vehicle rooflines in summer heat, without causing sensor or housing failure.
