Advanced dual-spectrum surveillance built for demanding environments. The DS-2TD2628T-3/QA from Hikvision’s HeatPro Series pairs a 256 × 192 thermal module with a high-definition 4 MP optical sensor in a single rugged bullet housing. Whether you’re monitoring perimeters, manufacturing sites or critical infrastructure in South Africa, this camera delivers both thermal detection and visual verification from one streamlined unit.
Why this camera stands out
Standard visible-light cameras struggle when lighting is poor or there’s smoke, haze or total darkness. With the DS-2TD2628T-3/QA, you’ve got both thermal for detection and optical for detail. Built-in thermal analytics and excellent durability under harsh conditions make this one an outstanding choice.
Key features & benefits

Typical applications
- Perimeter monitoring of manufacturing plants, warehouses or mining sites in South Africa.
- Fire-risk environments requiring both heat-detection and visual verification (e.g., storage areas, waste plants).
- Security installations at estate gates or logistics yards where both human/vehicle detection and visual detail matter.
- Outdoor sites with complex lighting, dust or weather challenges where traditional cameras struggle.
Installation & setup notes
- Mount at a height with a clear line of sight to the critical area — the thermal module’s field of view should cover the full zone of interest.
- Configure your temperature-exception alarms and VCA rules through the Hikvision interface or NVR for maximum accuracy and minimum false alarms.
- Use shielded Ethernet and ensure PoE (or 12 V/24 V) supply meets camera requirements — this makes installation cleaner and simplifies power cabling.
- Clean the lens housing regularly and update firmware to keep analytics and detection performance optimal.
