Hikvision DS-2CD2955G0-IS(U) – 5 MP Fixed Fisheye Network Camera
The Hikvision DS-2CD2955G0-IS(U) delivers 5 MP fisheye coverage for full-room, wide-area indoor monitoring. Specifically, it pairs a 1/2.7″ progressive scan CMOS sensor with a fixed 1.05 mm lens. As a result, it captures a complete 180° horizontal, vertical, and diagonal field of view. Installers can therefore mount one camera on a ceiling, wall, or table and cover an entire lobby, retail floor, or open-plan office without blind spots.
Meanwhile, 120 dB true WDR keeps faces and detail visible even against strong window backlight. In addition, BLC and 3D DNR further clean up the image in mixed or low-light conditions. Furthermore, the camera offers 14 selectable display modes, including full fisheye view, 180° panorama, and multi-channel PTZ dewarping. Consequently, operators can switch between one wide overview and several zoomed-in virtual views from a single lens. On top of that, line crossing and intrusion detection add smart perimeter-style alerts inside a space that a normal fixed camera cannot cover alone.
This model also comes in two variants worth noting. Namely, the DS-2CD2955G0-ISU includes a built-in microphone for on-camera audio capture, while the base DS-2CD2955G0-IS omits it. Both variants share the same imaging, lens, and mounting options. Therefore, the choice mainly depends on whether the install point needs audio pickup.

Note: this datasheet lists no ingress protection (IP) rating, so installers should mount the DS-2CD2955G0-IS(U) indoors in a protected location rather than expose it directly outdoors.
Who This Camera Suits Best
- Retail floors and open-plan offices – for instance, the 180° fisheye view from a single ceiling mount covers an entire sales floor or workspace without multiple cameras.
- Lobbies, receptions, and lift lobbies – since 120 dB WDR handles glass doors and window backlight well, image quality stays clear at busy entry points.
- Warehouses and storage rooms – because the wide coverage and up-to-256 GB on-board storage suit large open spaces where mounting several standard cameras isn’t practical.
