Product Overview
For industrial perimeter protection where conventional cameras fall short, the Hikvision HM-TD2618-7/G0/T1A HeatPro combines a 160 x 120 thermal sensor with a 5MP optical camera in a single IP67-rated bullet housing. Featuring a 12 µm VOx uncooled focal plane array with ≤25 mK thermal sensitivity, this bi-spectrum camera detects heat signatures through darkness, smoke, dust, and glare conditions that defeat standard visible-light sensors. Equipped with dynamic fire point detection, smoking detection, and temperature measurement across a range of -20°C to 150°C, it delivers early-warning capability suited to warehouses, waste facilities, and critical infrastructure sites. Built with smart hybrid illumination reaching up to 60 m, AI-powered human and vehicle classification, a built-in strobe and audio alarm, and local MicroSD storage up to 512 GB, the HM-TD2618-7/G0/T1A is a purpose-built thermal detection platform for demanding outdoor environments. Power is supplied via 12V DC or PoE+ (802.3at).
Key Capabilities
Thermal Bi-Spectrum Detection
The 160 x 120 VOx thermal sensor with ≤25 mK NETD detects heat signatures invisible to standard cameras, while the co-mounted 5MP optical camera provides simultaneous visual verification, allowing operators to confirm threats without switching between systems.
Early Fire and Smoke Detection
Dynamic fire point detection and smoking detection algorithms analyse the thermal stream continuously, triggering alerts before a fire establishes. This makes the camera particularly valuable at waste transfer sites, recycling yards, and facilities storing combustible materials.
Temperature Measurement Rules
Point, area, and line-based temperature measurement rules cover a range from -20°C to 150°C. Up to 8 VCA rules can be configured simultaneously, enabling precise monitoring of equipment hot spots, storage areas, or entire loading zones from a single camera position.
Active Deterrence with Strobe and Audio
A built-in strobe light and audio alarm with preset or custom voice alerts respond immediately when a VCA rule triggers. Combined with 60 m white light capability, the camera can both illuminate and actively challenge intruders at the perimeter without requiring separate alarm hardware.
AI Human and Vehicle Classification
Intelligent video content analysis on the optical channel classifies detections as human or vehicle, reducing nuisance alerts caused by animals, foliage, or environmental movement. Line crossing, intrusion, region entrance, and region exit rules are all supported.
Extreme Environment Resilience
IP67 weatherproofing and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +65°C allow the HM-TD2618-7/G0/T1A to function continuously in coastal environments, dust-heavy industrial yards, and extreme cold or heat without protective enclosures or supplementary heating.
Best For
- Industrial Perimeter Fence Lines: The 24.9° x 18.7° thermal field of view combined with line crossing and intrusion detection targets defined boundary zones at factories, utilities, and logistics depots.
- Waste and Recycling Facilities: Fire point detection and smoking detection on the thermal channel provide early warning of spontaneous combustion in material stockpiles before a full fire event develops.
- Warehouses and Cold Storage Sites: Temperature measurement rules monitor equipment and storage areas continuously, flagging anomalies in hot-running machinery or unexpected thermal events in temperature-controlled zones.
- Construction Sites and Critical Infrastructure: All-weather operation from -40°C to +65°C and PoE+ power delivery make the camera straightforward to deploy at remote or temporary sites where environmental conditions are unpredictable.
- Power Stations and Utilities: Thermal imaging detects heat build-up on electrical infrastructure independently of lighting conditions, supporting safety monitoring in areas where standard cameras provide no actionable night-time data.
Why Choose the HM-TD2618-7/G0/T1A
The HM-TD2618-7/G0/T1A sits at a practical entry point in professional thermal surveillance, delivering genuine dual-sensor capability without the cost and complexity of cooled thermal systems. Where a standard IP bullet camera would become blind in smoke, total darkness, or heavy glare, the thermal channel continues to detect heat signatures reliably. The addition of fire point detection, smoking detection, and configurable temperature measurement rules extends the camera well beyond perimeter intrusion into fire-risk management, a combination rarely found in a single bullet-format housing at this level. The 5MP optical stream at 2688 x 1944 ensures that verification footage is usable, not just confirmatory. Local MicroSD storage up to 512 GB, 2 alarm inputs, 2 alarm outputs, and ONVIF compatibility simplify integration into existing NVR and VMS platforms. Available through Security Wholesalers, the HM-TD2618-7/G0/T1A is well suited to integrators and end users who need a field-deployable thermal detection unit with active alarm output and edge storage built in.
Buyer Decision Tips
Thermal Field of View vs. Coverage Distance: The 6.9 mm thermal lens provides a 24.9° x 18.7° field of view, which is suited to focused zone monitoring rather than wide-area sweeping. For a long fence line or broad yard entrance, consider how many camera positions you need to achieve continuous thermal coverage at the detection distances your site requires. The thermal channel does not produce identification-quality imagery at the 160 x 120 resolution – it is a detection and temperature tool. The 5MP optical camera at 8 mm handles visual detail and verification at the same position.
PoE+ Power Requirement: This camera requires PoE+ (802.3at) rather than standard PoE (802.3af). Confirm that your NVR, PoE switch, or injector supports 802.3at before installation. Standard PoE switches may not supply sufficient power to operate both the thermal sensor and the active alarm strobe simultaneously. A 12V DC supply is an alternative if PoE+ infrastructure is not available at the mounting point.

Ideal Use Cases
Waste and Recycling Facilities
Spontaneous combustion in material stockpiles is a known risk at waste sites. The HM-TD2618-7/G0/T1A’s fire point detection and smoking detection on the thermal channel trigger alerts at the earliest detectable thermal change, well before visible flames or smoke appear.
Industrial Perimeter Fencing
The thermal sensor detects body heat against any background regardless of lighting conditions, making intrusion detection along unlit fence lines reliable at night. Line crossing and region entrance VCA rules define protected zones precisely, and the built-in strobe and audio alarm respond immediately on trigger.
Power Stations and Electrical Infrastructure
Temperature measurement rules allow continuous monitoring of transformer housings, switchgear, or cable runs. Point and area rules flag equipment that exceeds defined thermal thresholds, supporting preventive maintenance as well as security.
Construction Sites
Construction sites typically lack permanent lighting and experience variable environmental conditions. The -40°C to +65°C operating range and IP67 rating mean the camera performs through dust, rain, and temperature extremes, while PoE+ delivery reduces cabling overhead on temporary installations.
Logistics Yards and Truck Parking
The 5MP optical channel with AI human and vehicle classification distinguishes authorised truck movements from pedestrian intrusions across open yard areas. At night the thermal sensor maintains detection continuity where lighting is inconsistent or absent.
Warehouses with Fire Risk
Warehouses storing chemicals, batteries, or flammable materials benefit from the HM-TD2618-7/G0/T1A’s combined temperature monitoring and smoking detection. MicroSD storage up to 512 GB retains local thermal and optical footage independently of NVR connectivity, preserving evidence even during network disruptions.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your site requires thermal detection through darkness, smoke, or glare – particularly where early fire detection, temperature anomaly monitoring, and AI-classified perimeter intrusion detection are all required in a single outdoor bullet-format camera with active alarm output.
- Choose a different model if: You need wide-area coverage from a single camera position – a PTZ or panoramic camera will cover a larger detection footprint. If your application is standard daytime or night-vision perimeter security without any temperature or fire-risk requirement, a conventional 4MP or 8MP bullet camera with IR will deliver far more resolution per dollar at the same position.
- Choose a different model if: Your NVR or PoE switch is 802.3af only and you have no 12V DC supply available at the mounting point, as this camera requires PoE+ (802.3at) or 12V DC to operate correctly.
FAQs
- What does the 160 x 120 thermal resolution mean in practice for detection range?
At 160 x 120 with a 12 µm pixel pitch and 6.9 mm lens, the thermal channel is designed for detection and classification at close to medium range rather than long-range identification. It will reliably detect a human-sized heat source at useful distances for perimeter applications, but it does not produce facial or number plate detail. The 5MP optical camera handles all identification-quality imagery.
- Can the camera detect fire even if there are no visible flames yet?
Yes. The fire point detection algorithm analyses the thermal stream for dynamic thermal anomalies associated with ignition events, and smoking detection identifies heat patterns consistent with smouldering materials. Both functions operate independently of the optical channel, so detection continues in total darkness, heavy smoke, or obscured sight lines where visible-light cameras would provide no usable image.
- What is the temperature measurement accuracy and how are rules configured?
The camera supports point, line, and area temperature measurement rules across a range of -20°C to 150°C. Up to 8 VCA rules can be configured simultaneously, allowing multiple zones or equipment positions to be monitored from one camera. Alarms trigger when a defined threshold is exceeded, and the thermal stream records temperature data alongside video.
- Does the camera work in complete darkness or heavy fog?
The thermal sensor detects emitted infrared radiation from objects rather than reflected visible light, so it functions in total darkness, fog, light smoke, and dusty conditions that would render standard cameras ineffective. The 60 m IR illuminator on the optical channel extends visible-light coverage for verification when conditions allow.
- What alarm outputs does the HM-TD2618-7/G0/T1A support?
The camera includes a built-in strobe light and an audio alarm with support for preset or custom voice alerts, triggered directly by any configured VCA rule. It also has 2 physical alarm outputs for connection to external sirens, access control panels, or monitoring systems, and 2 alarm inputs for integration with external sensors.
- Is this camera suitable for outdoor installation in harsh Australian conditions?
Yes. The IP67 weatherproof housing protects against dust ingress and sustained water exposure, and the operating temperature range of -40°C to +65°C covers the extremes encountered across Australian industrial and remote sites. The camera is available through Security Wholesalers and is rated for continuous outdoor deployment without additional protective enclosures.
- Can the HM-TD2618-7/G0/T1A integrate with existing Hikvision NVR and VMS platforms?
Yes. The camera uses standard ONVIF protocol and is compatible with Hikvision NVRs and third-party VMS platforms that support ONVIF. It connects over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable when powered by PoE+ (802.3at). MicroSD storage up to 512 GB provides local redundancy independent of NVR recording continuity.
