Hikvision DS-2TX3636-25A/V1 Thermal Smart Linkage Tracking System

Product Overview

Combining a high-sensitivity thermal sensor with a 36x optical zoom speed dome, the DS-2TX3636-25A/V1 Thermal Smart Linkage Tracking System is engineered for wide-area perimeter surveillance where conventional cameras cannot deliver reliable detection. The fixed thermal module operates with a 384×288 resolution vanadium oxide uncooled focal plane array and an NETD of less than 40mK, detecting heat signatures from humans at up to 250m and vehicles at up to 750m regardless of lighting conditions. When a target is detected, the integrated speed dome automatically slews to track and zoom in, capturing 2MP optical detail at up to 200m IR range. The system supports simultaneous tracking of up to 30 targets with sub-one-second switch time between them. Deep learning behaviour analysis covers line crossing, intrusion, and region entrance and exit. A confirmed fire detection algorithm and temperature anomaly alarm extend its use to industrial and critical-infrastructure sites where early hazard detection is a priority.

Key Capabilities

Best For

• Critical Infrastructure Perimeters: Power stations, water treatment facilities, and substations benefit from the system’s thermal detection range and temperature anomaly alarm, which flag hazards that optical cameras cannot detect.
• Large Open Industrial Sites: Warehouses, refineries, and port facilities with long unlit approaches suit the 750m vehicle detection range and 36x optical zoom for follow-up identification without deploying additional cameras.
• Outdoor Perimeter Fence Lines: The combination of line crossing and intrusion detection tied to auto-tracking makes the system suitable for long fence line monitoring where multiple simultaneous breach attempts must be handled automatically.
• Harsh or Extreme Climate Locations: IP66 rating, built-in heater, and a -40 to 65 degree Celsius operating range suit remote or exposed installations that would damage standard outdoor cameras.
• Sites Requiring Both Hazard and Security Monitoring: Fuel depots, chemical plants, and mining operations gain dual value from thermal fire detection and intruder tracking within a single integrated system.

Why Choose the DS-2TX3636-25A/V1

A standalone PTZ camera covers ground and provides optical detail, but it cannot detect a person in complete darkness at 250m or flag a heat anomaly before it becomes a fire. The DS-2TX3636-25A/V1 addresses both requirements in a single unit by pairing a 384×288 thermal sensor, NETD below 40mK, with a 36x optical zoom speed dome that auto-tracks flagged targets within one second. The deep learning analytics reduce nuisance alarms by classifying behaviour rather than reacting to simple motion. TVS 6000V lightning protection and a -40 to 65 degree Celsius operating range mean the system maintains function in conditions that would disable conventional outdoor cameras. On-board storage up to 128GB via Micro SD on the speed dome adds local resilience when network recording is unavailable. Available through Security Wholesalers, the DS-2TX3636-25A/V1 is a purpose-built solution for sites where thermal detection and optical verification must work together automatically.

Ideal Use Cases

Choosing the Right Model

• Choose this model if: Your site requires thermal-based detection at ranges beyond 100m, automatic optical tracking of flagged targets, fire or temperature anomaly monitoring, or perimeter coverage in conditions where lighting cannot be relied upon. The 36x zoom dome and 30-target simultaneous tracking make this appropriate for large open industrial or critical infrastructure sites.
• Choose a different model if: Your application is a standard well-lit outdoor area where a conventional optical PTZ or fixed camera provides sufficient coverage. The DS-2TX3636-25A/V1 is a specialised thermal linkage system that carries a corresponding price and lead time. If thermal detection, fire monitoring, or extreme-range tracking are not genuine requirements, a standard optical PTZ will deliver comparable video performance at significantly lower cost and without the 5 to 7 week lead time.

FAQs

1. How does the thermal module trigger the speed dome to track a target?
   The DS-2TX3636-25A/V1 uses master-slave linkage rules. When the fixed thermal camera detects an intrusion or line crossing event, it passes the target coordinates to the speed dome, which slews and zooms to the detected position within less than one second. The operator can also click on a target manually to initiate tracking.
2. What is the effective detection range for people and vehicles?
   Using the thermal module, the system supports an effective detecting distance of up to 250m for human targets and up to 750m for vehicle targets. These figures apply to the thermal detection function. Once a target is flagged, the 36x optical zoom speed dome with IR range up to 200m provides close-up optical detail for verification.
3. Does this system require PoE or a special power supply?
   The DS-2TX3636-25A/V1 requires 24V AC at 5A and draws up to 80W maximum when IR and the internal heater are both active. This is beyond the capability of any standard PoE switch or injector. A dedicated 24V AC power supply must be provided at or near the mounting point. Factor cable sizing carefully for longer runs to ensure voltage drop does not affect operation.
4. Can the system detect fire as well as intruders?
   Yes. The thermal fixed camera includes an advanced fire detection algorithm and a temperature anomaly alarm, both confirmed in the product specifications. These functions monitor for heat signatures consistent with combustion or abnormal temperature rises, making the system applicable at industrial, chemical, or fuel storage sites alongside its security tracking role.
5. Is local recording available if the network connection drops?
   The speed dome component includes a built-in Micro SD/SDHC/SDXC card slot supporting cards up to 128GB, with both manual and alarm-triggered recording modes. The fixed thermal camera also has a built-in Micro SD slot supporting up to 64GB. This provides local redundancy for recording continuity during network outages.
6. What is the lead time for the DS-2TX3636-25A/V1?
   This product carries a confirmed lead time of 5 to 7 weeks from the date of ordering. It is a specialised thermal system and is not typically held in local stock. Security Wholesalers recommends placing orders well ahead of your installation date to avoid project delays. Site preparation and mounting structure work can be completed during the lead time period.
7. What weather and environmental protection does this system carry?
   The system is rated IP66 for dust and water ingress protection and incorporates TVS 6000V lightning protection along with surge and voltage transient protection. The working temperature range is -40 to 65 degrees Celsius, with an internal heater drawing up to 15W to manage condensation in cold climates. These ratings make the unit suitable for fully exposed outdoor installations in extreme environments.
