The HeatPro bi-spectrum thermal bullet
Standard CCTV cameras need light to see. Thermal cameras see heat instead, which means they detect intruders in total darkness, through smoke, in heavy rain, and in any condition where standard cameras fail. The Hikvision DS-2TD2628-3/QA is the entry-level HeatPro thermal bullet with a bi-spectrum design: a 3mm thermal lens for heat detection and a 4mm optical lens for standard CCTV imagery, both in one camera body so you get both views simultaneously.
The bi-spectrum design means you can verify what the thermal camera detected (it lit up because of a person walking through the boundary) using the optical channel for visual confirmation. The right call for residential and small-commercial perimeter monitoring on properties where standard CCTV is failing in fog, dust, smoke, or heavy rain.
What this camera is actually good at
- 3mm thermal lens with up to 30m heat-detection range.
- 4mm optical lens for standard CCTV imagery.
- Bi-spectrum design with simultaneous thermal and optical channels.
- Detection through smoke, fog, dust, and total darkness.
- Hikvision smart event detection (line crossing, intrusion, region entrance/exit).
- IP67 weather-sealed housing.
Where this camera belongs on your property
- Residential perimeter monitoring in conditions where standard CCTV fails
- Boundary walls in dust-heavy or smoke-prone environments
- Fence-line detection on smallholdings
- Small-commercial perimeter applications

- For the longest-range thermal bullet applications, see the Pro Bi-Spectrum and Guanlan thermal ranges.
Thermal cameras need careful site planning: thermal contrast is highest at dawn and dusk, lower at midday in summer, and the camera needs to be specified for the actual ambient temperature range. We do thermal site surveys as standard before specification across Pretoria East, Centurion, Midrand, and Johannesburg. Browse the full Hikvision range. Common questions on the CCTV FAQ. Pricing available on request given site-specific requirements. Full 3-year Hikvision South Africa warranty through authorised distribution.
