Dual-spectrum surveillance you can rely on. The DS-2TD2617-3/QA from Hikvision’s HeatPro series combines thermal imaging and high-definition optical video in a rugged outdoor housing built for South African conditions. With thermal detection for low-light or obscured scenes and a 4 MP optical module for visual clarity, this camera gives you complete monitoring capability in one unit.
Why it’s a smart choice
Traditional cameras often struggle when lighting fails, smoke builds up or visibility is obstructed. With the DS-2TD2617-3/QA, you get an integrated thermal sensor and a visible-light camera in one streamlined unit — giving you both detection and verification. Smart analytics further reduce false alarms, so you get actionable alerts, not noise.
Key features & benefits
-
Bi-spectrum design: 160 × 120 thermal module (17 µm VOx) with a 4 MP optical sensor — dual capability in one housing.
-
High-accuracy temperature exception alarms: Temperature measurement range –20 °C to +150 °C, accuracy ±8 °C — useful for fire-prevention and hotspot detection.
-
Robust build for outdoor use: IP67 weather protection, IK10 vandal resistance and surge/lightning protection ensure durability in harsh climates.
-
Smart analytics included: Line crossing, intrusion detection, region entrance/exit rules plus temperature-based alarms help minimize false alerts.
-
4 MP visible-light module: Optical sensor (2 688 × 1 520) with 4 mm fixed lens covers a wide field of view for visual verification.

Ideal applications
- Perimeter protection for industrial sites, factories, mines or warehouses where visibility is compromised
- Fire-risk areas needing both visual surveillance and temperature-based warning
- Gated estates, logistics yards or campuses where dual-spectrum monitoring reduces total camera count
- Outdoor environments in South Africa with harsh weather, low light or smoke/haze where conventional cameras struggle
Installation & setup tips
- Mount the camera at a suitable height and clear line of sight — ensure both thermal and optical modules cover the critical zone.
- Use PoE for simplified installation where possible — reduces separate power cabling.
- Configure the temperature exception and analytics rules in the camera’s web interface to match your site’s environmental conditions.
- Ensure proper housing/protection if located in dusty or high-moisture outdoor areas; maintain lens cleanliness for optimal thermal performance.
Upgrade your security with dual-spectrum precision. The Hikvision DS-2TD2617-3/QA brings together thermal detection and high-definition visible-light imaging in one robust package — ideal for South African installations where reliability and clarity cannot be compromised.
