Anyone tried these 2mm thermals?

At first glance this looks similar or identical to Andy's TPC124X-AI-S2, a little under $500.

I have several cheap thermal cameras which perform similarly. They're fun but not super practical. For the still-very-high cost, I think most people would rather just get better cameras or AI accelerators and use AI to improve their alerts rather than a thermal cam.

If you’re willing to bury cables out aways and had a solid inner peremiter of visible? For $400 bucks in the middle of nowhere with no light; I think it would be a force multiplier. If, big one, the ability to not get deer, wolves, cattle and such alarms vs 2 legged pests!

Speaking of cheap, has anyone noticed dahua no longer sells the higher resolutions in thermal on this line?
Up until recently these were available for $415. The higher end one was double, same visible/IR lens but twice res on thermal.

It is. Between US, international (what you guys use) the model numbers are completely different. I’ve asked several times here if anyone has found a Rosetta Stone!

If the goal is to detect animals I'd disagree. With Dahua cameras you can't use IVS for detecting animals, and motion detection gives so many false alerts that the ones you want are lost in the noise. CPAI filters out some of the false alerts, but lets a lot of them through, often thinking that rocks, shrubs, and shadows are some kind of animal. Plus it's dismisses a lot of the animals as false alerts. If there isn't lighting in the camera's field, it won't trigger on anything in the dark anyway. I'd have a few of these cameras if they weren't so darn expensive.
