The next-generation 5MP thermal bullet
The Hikvision DS-TD2628-10/G1-T3A is the latest-generation thermal bullet, combining a refined thermal sensor with a 5MP optical channel. Where pure thermal cameras give you only heat-signature detection, this unit pairs the thermal detection with optical context: a thermal trigger fires when a heat signature crosses a configured zone, and the optical channel provides identification-grade footage of what triggered the detection.
The 10mm lens makes this unit suited to long-range applications. The G1 generation refinement delivers improved thermal sensitivity and faster trigger response over the older T-series. The right step up for sites that have outgrown standalone thermal coverage and want to consolidate thermal-plus-optical onto fewer cameras.
What this camera is actually good at
- Latest-generation thermal sensor with refined sensitivity.
- 5MP optical channel for visual context and identification.
- 10mm lens for long-range narrow-field coverage.
- Smart detection events across both thermal and optical channels.
- IP67 weather-sealed housing.
- Heavy-duty industrial construction.
- Hik-Connect mobile integration with thermal-triggered optical handoff.
Where this camera makes the most sense
- Long-range industrial perimeters needing both thermal detection and optical identification
- Large smallholding and farm perimeter sections
- Power and utilities long-range monitoring
- Government and institutional perimeter applications
If you want different feature sets
- The DS-2TD2608-2/QA is the wide-angle pure-thermal alternative.
- The DS-2SF8C425MXS-DL is the bispectrum thermal-and-optical PTZ on a steerable platform.
Recorder pairings
Pairs cleanly with the DS-7616NXI-K2 16-channel NVR, or commercial-grade NVRs on larger installations.
Latest-generation thermal needs latest-generation configuration
The G1 generation introduces refined detection logic and updated alarm protocols. Getting the most from the camera requires knowing those changes. We track Hikvision firmware and feature releases as part of standard practice. Installation across Pretoria East, Centurion, Midrand, and Johannesburg. 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.
