Experimenting with a remote-controlled 2-axis gimbal, fitted with a thermal monocular, for hunting purposes. I like to use a remote-mounted thermal monocular for scanning, whilst hunting. The monocular streams live to a display in the vehicle. Ordinarily, I have manually maneuver the monocualar...

Dahau M60 Thermal Monocular Here is some very hard-to-find test footage of the Dahua M60 (640x512) Monocular.

Great work, thanks!

The problem with sharing thermal footage is the quality of the exported footage. I have to export @720x526. So the footage is not as good as what you experience in the field. Here's a sample of some of the footage we captured recently. The shooter for most of these targets, was a beginner, not...

Dahua just launched its Outdoor product lines. As a keen thermal hunter, I've been lucky enough to add several thermal scopes and monoculars to my hunting kit over the last 6 months or so. I hunt 100% thermal these days, there's no going back, it's that good. The Dahua M Series (M20, M40,&...

Thanks for the review. Looks like we are both using the same video editing program. It's pretty awesome. :)

Yes, it's been a bit frustrating to find the "one" that ticks all the boxes. Hikmicro has the New Gryphon Monoculars & Panther Scopes that have Laser range finders built in. The Gryphon features Bi-Spectrum Fusion (IR & Thermal combined) looks very interesting. Just throw in some onboard...

Yes, so lucky, really can't wait. Initially will be testing an LH19 Monocular and TQ50 scope. This TQ50 scope looks like it going to be pretty versatile. Can use it as a scope, clip-on and monocular, and it has a 640x sensor...

My heart goes out to anyone who is still waiting. Heard a lot of people who were due for a delivery date of mid/ to late 2021 may have to wait another 12 months!!! Starlink Signed up 1st September 2020 order confirmed & Shipped 7th/8th October 2021.

haha Yes. Zerotier was the best option.

Hey Guys, It is amazing how fast the outdoor thermal market has been moving. Both the Monoculars and scopes have been under heavy and rapid development. I've been watching HikMicro and other companies' offerings expand over the course of 2021, and I'm ready to take the plunge. Full disclosure...

Loving Starlink internet signed up early beta and have had Starlink for several months now. The only issues I have encountered have been related to CGNAT. I can't even recall what workarounds I had to implement to get around this. It was a bit messy, but works ok now.

Earlier today enabled H/W acceleration (intel+VPP) on a camera, to reduce CPU usage. (Must have missed it in the initial setup). I didn't realize I had the camera set to H265 encoding and I had a WTF moment when BI tools would start BI then it would crash. I watched it cycle through a dozen or...

Most of my Stats were lost/reset a little while ago. The note-worthy stats that remain: 7.6 Million Focus motor Direction Switches 19 Million Iris switch times This is still my favorite PTZ. It has been super reliable and has a beautiful image day and night. My only regret is that more people...

Hahaha You can't ask that....My guess over 10,000 units give or take a million or two. :P
