IP security camera Hikvision DS-2TD1228-3/QA Turret

The Hikvision DS-2TD1228-3/QA Turret is a bi-spectrum IP security camera combining thermal and optical sensors for outdoor perimeter monitoring. It provides 2688 x 1520 optical resolution with a wide horizontal viewing angle of 84° and a thermal module field of view of 50 x 37.3°. The camera supports wired Ethernet connectivity, is rated for ceiling or wall mounting, and is intended for varied outdoor applications where both video analytics and temperature-based alarms are required.

Advantages

This Hikvision turret camera integrates thermal imaging and visible-light video in one housing, enabling temperature exception alarms for early fire prevention alongside high-precision video content analysis (VCA) based on deep learning. It offers good low-light sensitivity (minimum illumination 0.0035 lx), a 30 fps frame rate for smooth motion capture, and a compact 0.94 kg form factor for flexible installation on ceilings or walls. Wired Ethernet ensures stable network transmission for continuous surveillance.

Suitable for

• Perimeter protection of villas and residential communities
• Parking lots and vehicle access control
• Warehouses and manufacturing workshops
• Construction sites and outdoor temporary installations
• Facilities requiring early fire detection such as waste incineration plants

How to use

Mount the camera on a stable ceiling or wall surface using appropriate fixings for outdoor installations. Connect the camera to the wired Ethernet network and configure network and recording settings via the Hikvision management software or compatible NVR. Calibrate the thermal module and configure temperature exception thresholds for early fire alarms. Adjust the optical lens orientation to cover the intended field of view and verify VCA (video content analysis) rules such as intrusion or line-crossing according to site requirements.

Recommendations

Install the camera at a height and angle that provides unobstructed views of the monitored perimeter; ensure regular firmware updates and periodic thermal calibration to maintain reliable temperature alarm performance.
