The long-range thermal bullet
The Hikvision DS-2TD2628-10/QA is the 10mm thermal bullet for long-range thermal detection. Where the 2.1mm wide-angle covers a thermal scene up close and the 7mm variant handles medium ranges, this 10mm variant pushes thermal detection out to 80 to 150 metres on a focused narrow-field zone. The right call for long perimeter walls, fence lines around larger smallholdings and farms, and any thermal application where the camera needs to cover a long but narrow detection zone at distance.
What this camera is actually good at
- 10mm thermal lens for long-range narrow-field detection.
- Heat-signature detection in any light or weather conditions.
- Smart detection events for line crossing, intrusion, and behaviour analysis.
- IP67 weather-sealed housing.
- Heavy-duty industrial-grade construction.
- Hik-Connect mobile integration.
Where this camera makes the most sense
- Long perimeter walls (80+ metres) needing thermal detection at the far end
- Large smallholding and farm perimeters with extended fence lines
- Industrial site long-range monitoring across yards and access corridors
- Power and utilities perimeter monitoring at substations and infrastructure sites
If you want different thermal lens or features
- The DS-2TD2628-7/QA is the 7mm medium-range version.
- The DS-2TD2608-2/QA is the 2.1mm wide-angle version.
- The DS-2TD2637-15/QY pushes thermal detection range further with a 15mm lens.
- The DS-2SF8C425MXS-DL is the bispectrum thermal-and-optical PTZ for sites needing both detection and identification.
Recorder pairings
Pairs cleanly with the DS-7616NXI-K2 16-channel NVR, or commercial-grade NVRs like the DS-7732NXI-I4/16P/S on larger sites.
Long-range thermal needs precision installation
A 10mm thermal lens demands accurate aiming and stable mounting. Wind-induced vibration, mounting-bracket flex, or even small camera misalignment can put your detection zone metres off target at 100+ metres distance. We do precision installation as standard across Pretoria East, Centurion, Midrand, and Johannesburg, and nationally for industrial sites. Contact us for thermal consultations.

How Hikvision HeatPro thermal cameras work
Thermal cameras detect heat instead of light, seeing through smoke, fog, dust, and total darkness. Watch the technology in action.
