Professional, High Resolution, Day and Night Network Camera 

PLANET ICA-E5550V Network Camera with IR Illuminator is a high resolution camera for the 
round-the-clock surveillance over IP networks. This camera supports H.264 and MJPEG 
compression formats and delivers excellent picture quality in 5 mega-pixel resolutions at 15 
frames per second (fps) and full HD resolutions at 30fps. The ICA-E5550V is also equipped 
with IP66-rated and IK-10 vandalproof housing to protect the camera body against rain and 
dust and ensures operation under extreme weather conditions, which makes it an ideal 
solution for outdoor applications, e.g. surveillance of buildings, roads, parking areas, 
garages, railway stations, and airports. 

 

 

Day & Night Functionality 

To adapt to constantly changing lighting conditions during the day and night, the 
ICA-E5550V comes with a removable IR-cut filter and built-in IR illuminators, which enable 
the camera to provide color video when there is sufficient light, and black/white video in dark 
conditions. The ICA-E5550V is able to maintain clear images 24 hours a day.
