Cutting-edge dual-spectrum surveillance built for demanding environments. The DS-2TD2608-1/QA combines a thermal imaging module with a high-resolution optical sensor in a robust bullet camera housing. Designed for professional installations in South Africa, it delivers reliable detection and visual verification in challenging lighting or weather conditions.
Why this camera stands out
Standard cameras often falter in poor lighting or obscured environments. With the DS-2TD2608-1/QA, you get both thermal detection and sharp visible-light imagery in one housing—giving you the clarity and confidence you need. With built-in analytics and rugged outdoor performance, it’s ideal for security and monitoring applications where performance cannot be compromised.

Ideal applications
- Perimeter security for industrial, logistics, mining or large estates needing both heat signature detection and visual confirmation.
- Fire-risk monitoring areas, storage sites or warehouses where hotspot detection complements CCTV.
- Outdoor monitoring in South Africa where weather, dust, darkness or glare reduce performance of standard cameras.
Installation & setup tips
- Ensure clear line of sight for both modules; install at a height that covers your critical zone.
- Use PoE where possible for easier power and cabling management.
- Configure temperature-exception rules and analytics settings to match local environment and avoid false alarms.
- Clean the protective window periodically and maintain firmware updates to ensure optimal performance.
