Overview
Hikvision DS-2CD7526G0-IZHS 2MP Varifocal IR Outdoor Dome IP Camera
The Hikvision DS-2CD7526G0-IZHS is a professional-grade 2MP outdoor dome camera engineered for demanding surveillance applications requiring flexible coverage, extreme low-light performance, and intelligent video analytics. Built for 24/7 operation in harsh environments, this camera delivers crisp 1920 × 1080 resolution at 60 fps with advanced infrared technology and motorized varifocal zoom capabilities.
Key Features
- 2MP CMOS sensor with 1/1.8" progressive scan for sharp, detailed imagery
- Dual varifocal lens options: 2.8–12 mm and 8–32 mm with motorized focus
- 60 fps main stream at 1920 × 1080 resolution for smooth motion capture
- Extreme low-light performance: 0.0001 Lux (B/W), 0 Lux with IR illumination
- IR supplemental light with 30–50 m range (850 nm wavelength)
- 140 dB wide dynamic range for backlit and high-contrast scenes
- H.265+/H.264+ compression for bandwidth optimization
- PoE powered for simplified wiring and installation
- IP67 and IK10 rated for outdoor durability
- P-iris aperture (F1.2–F2.5) with motorized iris control
Technical Highlights
Optical Performance: The camera features dual varifocal lens configurations delivering horizontal FOV from 114.5° (wide) to 15.1° (telephoto). DORI distances reach 112.7 m detection and 11.3 m identification at telephoto settings, enabling both area coverage and detailed target recognition.
Low-Light & Night Vision: With minimum illumination of 0.0001 Lux in B/W mode and intelligent IR cut filter switching, the camera maintains visibility in near-total darkness. Smart supplement light automatically extends IR range based on zoom position.
Video Processing: Advanced 3D DNR, defog, distortion correction, and electronic image stabilization (EIS) enhance video quality across environmental conditions. Multiple stream support (main, sub, third, fourth, fifth) enables flexible streaming to NAS, memory cards, and surveillance centers with independent configuration.
Intelligent Analytics: Multi-target-type detection identifies humans, faces (120 simultaneous), and vehicles with metadata export. Heat mapping, people counting, queue management, hard hat detection, and perimeter protection (line crossing, intrusion, region entrance/exit) support advanced security operations.
Connectivity & Storage: 1 Gbps Ethernet with PoE (IEEE 802.3at), microSD slot (up to 1 TB), and ANR memory card backup. ISAPI, SDK, and open ONVIF profiles (S/G/T/M) support integrations with Hikvision iVMS-4200, Hik-Connect, and third-party platforms.
Security: 802.1X network authentication, HTTPS encryption, IP filtering, WSSE/digest authentication, and password protection with three user levels safeguard video streams and camera access.
Applications
Ideal for perimeter protection, parking lots, industrial facilities, transportation hubs, retail complexes, and critical infrastructure requiring 24/7 surveillance with varifocal zoom flexibility and deep facial/vehicle recognition capabilities.

The DS-2CD7526G0-IZHS combines optical versatility with dark-light technology, positioning it as a mid-to-high-end solution for mixed indoor/outdoor deployments. The dual lens options (wide 2.8–12 mm vs. telephoto 8–32 mm) require site assessment; the wide lens suits panoramic area coverage, while telephoto maximizes DORI performance for distant target identification. H.265+ compression significantly reduces storage and bandwidth demands compared to H.264—critical for high-fps continuous recording.
The 140 dB WDR handles challenging backlighting, though extreme sunlight reflection may still require neutral density filtering. Metadata-rich analytics (faces, vehicles, heat maps) add intelligence without requiring external GPU; however, face recognition accuracy depends on enrollment quality and angle variation within ±60° horizontal, ±30° vertical limits. IP67/IK10 ratings confirm weather and vandalism resistance, and NEMA 4X corrosion protection (-Y variant) suits coastal or chemical-heavy environments.
PoE simplicity and microSD backup reduce deployment complexity; ANR ensures critical footage retention during network outages. Recommend this camera for organizations balancing coverage breadth, low-light capability, and AI-driven insights.
